SCRIPTURE

"Sing unto Jehovah a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth; ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the isles, and the inhabitants thereof. Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up [their voice], the villages that Kedar doth inhabit; let the inhabitants of Sela sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains." — Isaiah 42:10-11 (ASV)

For the coming of Christ is the coming of music into the world.

When he did hang upon the cross, there were lighted up new stars to cheer earth's night. No, what if I say that the sun itself had risen then to chase away the darkness once and for all? O Lamb of God.

Creation made the angels sing; but redemption makes us fallen men sing, for it lifts us up to sit among the angels, through your fittingly precious blood.
