Some branches sing them exclusively. Others have entirely given them up in favor of contemporary worship. Maybe you only sing hymns for Easter, Good Friday, Lent, Pentecost, or special occasions like weddings and funerals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond your own tradition, it&#8217;s important to recognize a historical standpoint. You might just find that denominations rooted in hundreds of years of liturgy might help inform your own opinions. One such tradition is the Wesleyan Church. Her founders, John and Charles Wesley, penned thousands of original hymns for use in various occasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a distinctly Wesleyan perspective on hymns and other elements of Christian life, we can turn to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/store\/product.php?productid=17654\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wesley Study Bible<\/a>. This resource was written by a panel of Bible scholars from the wider Wesleyan Methodist family. The following is a note on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Col+3%3A16&amp;version=NKJV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Col 3:16<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.<\/p><cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Col+3%3A16&amp;version=NKJV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Colossians 3:16<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-singing-hymns\">Singing Hymns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The people of God are a people of song.<\/strong> Moses and Miriam sang following the Exodus; at the reign of God in the time to come, new songs will be sung. God is the recipient of these songs; yet God is also the one who provides and motivates the song. The Wesleys acknowledged the triune God as both the source of inspiration and the subject for the thousands of hymns they produced. Hymn singing has always been a part of methodist worship, whether with the family, in small groups, or in the congregation. <strong>Hymns convey our adoration, thanksgiving, and gratitude of God.<\/strong> They allow us to express to God our own condition: the depth of our longing after God, our petitions and prayers, our joys and triumphs, our lamentation and sorrow. Hymns and the exercise of singing can bring about, cultivate, and increase the necessary Christian virtues of faith, hope, and love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The common practice of adapting hymns to modern audiences, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3MZgXXUW08Q\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amazing Graze (My Chains are Gone)<\/a>, connects today&#8217;s Christians with those who have come before, emphasizing that <strong>we are all one body, even across generations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is my favorite Wesleyan hymn, by Charles Wesley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-come-thou-long-expected-jesus\">Come Thou Long Expected Jesus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">Come, thou long expected Jesus,\nborn to set thy people free;\nfrom our fears and sins release us,\nlet us find our rest in thee.\nIsrael's strength and consolation,\nhope of all the earth thou art;\ndear desire of every nation,\njoy of every longing heart.\n\nBorn thy people to deliver,\nborn a child and yet a King,\nborn to reign in us forever,\nnow thy gracious kingdom bring.\nBy thine own eternal spirit\nrule in all our hearts alone;\nby thine all sufficient merit,\nraise us to thy glorious throne.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>For a modern arrangement of this hymn, I recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9P9ucV-sNEE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this one by King&#8217;s Kaleidoscope<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-read-on\">Read on!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.olivetree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WesleySBNotesSocial-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"the Wesley study Bible hymns\" class=\"wp-image-49164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WesleySBNotesSocial-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WesleySBNotesSocial-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WesleySBNotesSocial-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WesleySBNotesSocial-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Wesley Study Bible appeals to those in and outside the Methodist tradition.
