As a long-time student of English hymnody I have been repeatedly impressed with the devotional and theological richness of these songs. I appreciate your insight when you say:

“Perhaps part of the weakness of the modern evangelical church is that it has stopped singing songs of substance that passed down and impressed upon the heart the important truths of the word of God.”

Amen to that! And I’m doing my best to re-educate others about the rich heritage of our hymns. I invite you to check out my daily blog on the subject, Wordwise Hymns.

Thank you Mark, the compliment means a lot to me. It’s nice to be assured that the blog is in fact of some benefit to visitors and; hopefully above all an accurate reflection of Christ & Orthodox Christian doctrine.

Grace and peace be with you.

Very interesting and timely. I happened to be reading/studying Jeremiah 3, this evening, and as Jeremiah was speaking the words of rebuke to Israel & Judah that God had given him, I sensed the “anguish” in the Lord’s tone for feeling unloved by the faithlessness of Israel and humiliation due to Judah’s unfaithfulness.

I’ve found myself saying, “Well I guess you now know how God might feel.”, when I view a personal hurt or feeling of being trespassed to/from God’s perspective of me whenever I sin.

Thank you for the post.

Grace and peace be with you.
