In fact, I've tried it...I think it is a great idea. In fact, I've tried it with a few Scriptures. It's a lot harder than with a metrical hymn (at least it is for me).<BR/><BR/>Of course, all of the Psalms at some time or another have been paraphrased into metrical versions, and some denominations print psalters with these hymns and tunes for them. But I guess I'm assuming you mean the prose versions as found in the Bible? That's what I'm referring to in the first paragraph. I know a Primitive Baptist preacher who comes up with tunes for Psalms as found in the King James Version. They sing his tunes with some of the Psalms at a couple of churches where he preaches. But these are (as far as I know) just committed to memory and not written down.<BR/><BR/>Singing the Scriptures is a great idea whose time evidently hasn't come yet? or has already passed? Maybe a new generation can find the way.R. L.

Wouldn'...I've been wondering something for awhile. Wouldn't it be nice to put music to the Psalms and sing them? (I know that has already been done to many of them, but what about the rest?) We would definitely know that the song is scriptural!Bro. Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10195833222745366416noreply@blogger.com
