Excerpt from The Psalms and Lamentations, Vol. 1 of 2: Edited, With an Introduction and Notes
These selections are not designed to be read with the aim of instruction, but to be recited for the ends of worship. The book is not a lectionary, but a manual of devotion.
In the view of the writers, both of the Old Testament and the New, worship 1 is the offering to God of thought and emotion in some form of expression. The worshiper is not passive, but active; not the subject of impressions, but the agent of expressions. It is enough that his mind he engaged in thought, his heart excited in emotion. He must direct, lift up, his soul to God, and signify or utter his sentiment, his thoughtful emotion, to him.

Seller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book compiles Biblical scripture selections from the Psalms, Prophets, Gospels, Epistles, and Revelation, arranged into responsive readings for devotional use. The author presents worship as not passive but active; not the subject of impressions, but the agent of expressions. Rather than contemplated, the majesty and perfection of God is to be adored; remembrance of divine mercies, coupled with gratitude, is thanksgiving; consideration of dependence and need, with feelings of desire, is prayer. The author encourages the adoption of methods that engage the entire congregation in acts of devotion, directly to God, expressive of thought and emotion. This book is designed to provide a common medium of worship that will accommodate those who cannot sing or for whom singing is aesthetically unappealing. It is also intended to provide an opportunity for those who have neither the voice nor the musical ear for song to engage in acts of worship by reciting the Psalms. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331778196_0
