20 Value of Singing Tillit S. Teddlie
“It is almost impossible to overestimate the value of a good congregational song service. It stimulates and animates the church to its highest degree of spiritual devotion and worship. It affords an opportunity to every member of the church to express the praise and thanksgiving of his heart unto the Lord. It fills the heart with the sweetest and tenderest emotions, and prepares it for the reception of God’s eternal truth. It enriches, broadens, and sweetens life. It strengthens the faint and discouraged soul with a new faith and a new hope. It pours the oil of gladness into the wounded and sorrowing hearts and revives the drooping spirit of life. It turns the thought of weary pilgrims from the conflicts and crosses of this life to the eternal existence where no shadows ever fall - to the house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens”
