One tuned through every part;
While not to day or night belong
Her matins and her evensong,
The one thanksgiving of her song.[19]
Whatever the form of the song, its music is for the ear of God, its melody is that of the heart.
In the Christian Church, as in the Jewish Temple, we may call instrumental music to our aid, and count its offering not unacceptable to God.
Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet:
Praise Him with the psaltery and harp.
Praise Him with the timbrel and dance:
Praise Him with stringed instruments and the pipe.
