One of the major ways Christians have let the Word of God dwell in us richly throughout history has been through singing hymns in church gatherings. Hymns are beloved because they share the richness of the gospel and the beauty of Jesus Christ in a catchy and memorable way.
Hymns and other truth-filled songs have the habit of ministering to our hearts, giving us hope and faith. They teach us theology, help us minister to each other, unite us with Christians from the past centuries, and take our eyes off ourselves and put them on Jesus.
This purpose of this post is to encourage you by sharing classic and modern Christian hymns and their gospel-centered lyrics. The list includes some classic hymns and some modern/contemporary church

    In Julia Ward Howe’s song “The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” she uses religious overtones with God as his holy truth continues to spreads amidst fight and as the narrator recounts God’s triumphs. However, while the religious aspects of the song are clear, the true tone of this song is one of rallying. Howe uses the much respected figure of the Christian god that spreads his truth to all while gathering great in order to create a tone that rallies others who hear the song. God “has sounded fourth the trumpet that will never call retreat” as a point in the song. Upon hearing that an almighty deity such as God blow a trumpet, which signifies the start of a battle, with no plans or need to ever back down creates at sense in a person that rallies…

    "Oh! How they pound, Raising the sound, O'er hill and dale, Telling their tale. Gaily they ring while people sing songs of good cheer, Christmas is here." Carol Of the Bells was the best song sung at the recent West Point junior high concert because they had good diction, they sang all of the correct notes, and they kept their eyes on the conductor. First of all, Carol of the Bells was sung by West Point Junior Highs Madrigals. When they sung it, they had very good diction.…

    During the first decade of Christianity, Christians followed Jewish traditions and went to synagogue with those who had not converted to Christianity. They attended temple daily and celebrated the Sabbath as they always had. Up to about 20 years after Christ’s death Christians had to be converts to Judaism before converting to Christianity. It took the temple being destroyed in 70 a.d. to show the early Christians that they were separate from the Jewish people. They realized that Jesus was the High Priest and He was sufficient.…

    God Said: Don’t Do It! There are religious groups who justify the use of mechanical instruments of music in their worship services based upon the absence of a command that forbids it. And, of course, there is no command in the New Testament that states: “Thou shall not use the mechanical instrument of music in the worship service.”…

    The Kyrie is followed directly by the Gloria, with no intervening prayer or action. The Gloria or greater Doxology is a text that praises God. The gloria or greater doxology is a text that gives praise to God, says the creed of the Trinity, and asks for mercy. In the gloria that we discussed in class the two first phrases "the words of angels announcing Jesus's birth to the shepherds” are biblical. In a simple sense this may be felt as beautful in the intelligible sense because it recites words from the bible.…

    When examining the theology of worship and praise, the bible says that communication, scriptural lyrics, and music will help churches evangelize and disciple congregants. These three parts of worship will help unravel the argument against contemporary worship, but need to be based out of scripture in order to do so. Communication between the worshiper and God is an integral part of worship. “But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him.” (John 4:23-24)…

    Introduction Humanity is equipped with the capability to progress and grow. For the most part, this advancement is prompted by life experiences, whether positive or negative, that we not only live and dismiss but consider as life lessons from which we learn. In the academic world we live these type of experiences all the time, but seldom we get a chance to reflect intently on that which is reforming and restructuring us and why. To consider that our Sunday worship service needs renewal was a far-fetched thought for our context, because the word renewal has been used in our denomination to refer to the needs the Anglo churches have to avoid vanishing.…

    Music In Worship

    In Psalm 149:3, the psalmist writes, “Let them praise His name with dancing and make music to Him with tambourine and harp.” This scripture verse encapsulates the overall sentiments of music found in the church and worship throughout history. Music, to both the historical and modern day church, is a vehicle used in worship to praise God and deepen the worship experience through corporate worship. Because of this, music in worship is viewed as a precious experience, a spiritual endeavour, and an essential function of the church. However, because of these strong sentiments towards music and the relationship that has been formed between music and worship, the ways in which the church has experienced great uncertainty and debate over how to produce…

    But the Psalter of the Jewish church could not suffice to express the distinctive moods of Christian feeling. Original utterance of the spirit of Christian song was one of the manifestations of the gift of tongues (1 Corinthians 14:15-17). Paul distinguishes hymns and spiritual songs from psalms (Ephesians 5:19 Colossians 3:16); and it was hymns that he and Silas sang at midnight in the prison of Philippi (Acts 16:25 the Revised Version (British and American)). But from hymns and songs that were the spontaneous utterance of individual feeling the development was natural, in New Testament as in Old Testament times, to hymns that were sung in unison by a whole congregation; and in…
