Ever get the feeling some people have far too much time on their hands?
Looks like someone did. They’ve written a very interesting Essay on Hymnody. Below is a taste of what you’ll find.
Some songs have lines we sing repeatedly
Some songs have lines we sing repeatedly
Some songs have lines we sing repeatedly
Some songs have lines we sing repeatedly … (repeat x2).
We rightly mock the heathen’s mindless chants
And then we sing ourselves into a trance
(If not into a trance, at least a daze)
Through endless repetition of a phrase.
I ask, Is this a Christian way to praise?
Why surely not! For Christians it is wrong
To babble on like pagans in our songs.
