When churches are revived
When churches are revived, what life there is in them, and then what singing!
Never comes a revival of religion without a revival of singing.
As soon as Luther’s Reformation comes,
the Psalms are translated and sung in all languages;
and when Whitfield and Wesley are preaching,
then Charles Wesley and Toplady must be making hymns for the people to sing,
for they must show their joy, a joy born of life.
You will no more go moping about the house,
or be thought melancholy and dull when the Lord gives you life more abundantly.
I should not wonder but what you will get into the habit of singing at your work,
and humming over tunes in your walks.
I should not wonder if persons ask,
“What makes So-and-so so happy?
what makes his eyes twinkle as with some strange delight?
He is poor, he is sick, but how blissful he appears to be!”
This will be seen, brother, when you not only have life,
but when you have it more abundantly.
From a sermon by Charles Haddon Spurgeon entitled "Life More Abundant," delivered January 4, 1874.
