Praise sung to God is the effect of a saving knowledge, given by the Holy Spirit through Scripture. On that all Christians are agreed, but on the words to be used in praise there is considerable difference, and even controversy. Advocates of the modern disagree with the traditional and vice versa. In the midst of contemporary discussion the question is heard, ‘Why not return to the one inspired book of praise which God has given in the Psalms? Should anything be allowed to replace inspired Scripture?’ And the question gains force from the fact that from the earliest times Christian churches have commonly valued psalm-singing.
Iain Murray has sympathy with the question. Psalms set to music are a rich heritage and one not to be set aside, yet he argues that there are biblical reasons why it is a mistake to suppose that the words of the Old Testament alone are to be used in the singing of
praise. The fullness of truth in the great Christian hymns could not have been written before Christ ‘abolished death and brought life and immortality to light.’ With that progress in revelation the church moved from infancy to maturity and, corresponding with her changed experience and privilege, came an augmentation in the language of her praise.
