On another thread we have been discussing different music styles, which is fine.
But it's also sometimes really good simply to contemplate the Lord in silence. The Psalmist could say:
'Be still, and know that I am God' (Psalm 46.10).
The patriarchs of the Old Testament certainly had a broad vision of God, in awe and wonder.
And yet the New Testament believer is far more privileged in terms of the revelation that has been given: particularly as Scripture tells of the Person and Work of the Lord Jesus Christ.
It's wholesome and refreshing for the believer in Him to contemplate Him quietly in wonder, remembering how He went to the Cross and gained victory over sin and death, and is risen and glorified.
The hymn-writer could say: 'the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace'.
