Hymns

a religious ode or song.” This broad definition includes our “psalms” (better, psalm versifications and paraphrases), so, for our purposes, it is best to use the conventional distinction in which “hymn” means a religious song other than those based on the Psalms. It should also be made clear that “h

Why Not Sing Hymns?

Doug Miedema·1968-02-01

Hymns are sung in our homes, our Programs and Singspirations and if we can sing them to the Glory of God why must they be excluded from divine worship. The New Testament contains frequent references to the Holy Spirit and nothing of this is found in our Psalter which are the psalms of David. This is

The Historical Background of Hymns (1)

John Sytsma·1932-03-23

A hymn differs from a song in this respect, that it is sacred. The hymn was a word used by the ancient Greeks to signify a song or poem dedicated to some God or Hero.

Hymns and Hollanders

Alvin Mulder·1962-02-01

Yet, I think it can safely be said that hymns have not enjoyed an open place in our circles as such. They have been somewhat distasteful to us and we have v

Changes in the Church

Marcia Bylsma·1970-04-01

Hymns would probably dominate our singing at first as anything new holds special attention. The hymns could not push out the psalms which we have known and sung for so long. Hymns would expand our field of singing. And on the arguments go. I would like to see a few select hymns added to our psalter.

Hymn Singing

Everett Veldman·1960-09-01

As previously state, hymns would expand our field of singing. Moreover, hymns would more fully realize our sole purpose of existence, living to the glorification of God. We could select a number of hymns which, in their entirety would depict the life of Christ from His conception to His return as Ju

Christ is Born – So Sing!

Mary Haak·1984-10-01

SING CHRISTMAS HYMNS WORTHY OF GOD’S PRAISE. In your singing of Christmas Hymns, choose those which do not distort the truth of Christ’s birth. Because our singing is a spiritual sacrifice to God, the hymns we sing must be Biblical; that is, they must relate the true story of the birth of Jesus as t
