Excerpt from Christ and His Church in the Book of Psalms Few of the Books of Scripture are richer than the Book of Psalms, that Hymn-book for all times, as it has been called. There, says Luther, you look right down into the heart of saints, and behold all man ner of joys and joyous thoughts toward God and his love springing lustily into life Again, you look into the heart of saints as into death and hell How gloomy and dark their mournful visions of God. An other has said, The Psalms teach me to prize a much tried life. And Tholuck (who gives these quotations) remarks, Songs which, like the Psalms, have stood the test of three thousand years, contain a germ for eternity.
