Hoe sing jy?
“Nay, though an angel should come and appear before mine eyes from heaven, yet it would not add to my belief; for I have of my Saviour Christ Jesus bond and seal; I have his Word, Spirit, and sacrament; thereon I depend, and desire no new revelations.” – Martin Luther
Hoe sing jy?
In 1761 gee John Wesley ‘n paar voorskrifte vir hoe om in die kerk te sing.
- Learn these Tunes before you learn any others ….
- Sing them exactly as they are printed here without altering or mending them at all …
- Sing ALL. See that you join with the congregation as frequently as you can …
- Sing lustily and with a good courage. Beware of singing as if you were half dead, or half asleep; but lift up your voice with strength …
- Sing modestly. Do not bawl, so as to be heard above or distinct from the rest of the congregation, that you may not destroy the harmony …
- Sing in Time. Whatever time is sung, be sure to keep with it. Do not run before nor stay behind it … and take care not to sing too slow…
- Above all sing spiritually. Have an eye to God in every word you sing. Aim at pleasing Him more than yourself or any other creature.”
