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.”

Daar is niks nuuts in die wêreld nie!
