Poem: Hymnody Poem by Joseph James Breunig 3rd

Within the sacred music of worship,
we're to open our hearts and sing;
flowing from our tongues should be…
genuine praises for Christ our King!

Though the structure of songs vary
between spirituals, hymns and psalms,
in every instance, we acknowledge Him
with our uplifted bosoms and palms.

In making joyful noises unto our Lord,
there's a freedom of melodic release;
unashamedly, we honor Him together-
contented in our sense of inner peace.

Within all forms of the Church hymnody,
we should experience… a divine rhapsody.



Author Notes:
