Saturday Psalter Quote
The spiritual depth of the Psalms exceeds by far anything that was afterwards composed as a church hymn.
The psalms have always echoed the enduring, eternal keynote of the pious heart, while hymns usually had a temporary quality and were marked by what was popular at the moment.
In the struggle between hymns and psalms, all nominal members favoured the hymns over the psalms while the truly pious members are much more inclined to use the psalms rather than hymns.
from Onze Eeredienst, Our Worship, by Abraham Kuyper
