Music
“Let everything that has breath, praise the Lord!” - Psalm 150:6
St. Augustine (and Martin Luther) wrote that “whoever sings prays twice,” mindful of the essential role music has always played in the life of the church. The psalms, which at their core are hymns whose melodies have been lost, were sung in the Jerusalem Temple long before the angel chanted the first Christmas tidings to the shepherds (Luke 2:8-14). Throughout the Bible, songs play an important role in God's relationship with God's people. Here are just a few that may be of interest 75 Bible verses about Songs (knowing-jesus.com)
