Jacobus Koelman, The Duties of Parents, p. 149: Quote: |
247. Discuss with them [your children] how people must sing the Psalms in a manner that is pleasing to God. Make clear to them that they must not only use their voices but also pay attention to what they are singing, lift up their hearts to God in the singing, and rejoice in him. Otherwise the singing will be held by God to be the howling of animals. Tell them how they must behave themselves before, during, and after the singing, and talk with them on this subject all the more because this way of worshipping is usually practiced in an external manner.
