Show The Psalms of Da Id. They have furnished the bridal hymns, the battle songs, the pilgrim marches, the penitential prayers, and the public praises of every nation in Christendom since Christendom waa born. These psalms have rolled through the din of every European battle; they have pealed through the scream of the storm in every ocean highway of the earth. They crossed the ocean with the Mayflower pilgrims; they were sung around Cromwell's camp fires, and his ironsides charged to their muBlc, while they have filled the peaceful homes of our land and or Christendom with the voice of supplication suppli-cation and the breath of praise. In palace halls, by happy hearths, in squalid rooms, in pauper wards, in prison cells, in crowded sanctuaries, In lonely wilderness, everywhere these psalms have uttered our moan of contrition con-trition and our song of triumph, our learful complaints and our wrestling, conquering prayer. |
