Fanny Crosby wrote thousands of hymns, though only a few are sung today (such as “Blessed Assurance” and “To God Be the Glory”). One of her forgotten hymns says, “Sing when the birds are waking, sing with the morning light; sing in the noontide’s golden beam, sing in the hush of night.”

When we sing throughout the day, we’re reflecting the worship of heaven. When we sing with other believers in worship services, we’re joining the choirs of heaven. We need to enjoy a wide range of music in our worship services—from classic hymns to modern praise and worship. If the words glorify God and reflect biblical truth, sing them with gusto. Learn the old hymns. Sing the new music.

Reflect the joy of heaven and let your heart be glad. Say and sing to the nations, “The Lord reigns!” Be filled with the Spirit and overflow with praise. Give today a song!

Sing when the sky is darkest, sing when the thunders roll; sing of a land where rest remains, rest for the weary soul.
