SING YE PRAISES WITH UNDERSTANDING

The first of all earthly singers gave this as an inspired rule. Unless we know something of our indebtedness to God, we may please ourselves with a tune, but we yield no music to Him. Some of old “chanted to the sound of the viol, and invented to themselves instruments of music,” but at the same time they were among those who were “at ease in Zion,” and who put far away the evil day to whom woe was denounced.

It is spiritual harmony which is the delight of heaven, and not outward jingle or sound, and therefore if we are not spiritual, we can have no real understanding of this delight of “make melody in our hearts to the Lord.” A sweet sense of His goodness in our hearts will enable us to join with Paul and say “I will sing with the spirit and I will sing with the understanding also.”
