00816 – Singing & Hymnody

Where the Spirit of God is, there is also singing. The early church was characterized by its singing; so also in every generation where there is renewal by the Spirit a new hymnody breaks forth.

If most such songs do not have staying power, some of them do, and these become the treasure-trove of constantly turning to God the Father and God the Son and offering praise by inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

from Paul, The Spirit and the People of God
