CHAPTER X. PSALMS AND HYMNS SUITed to the lord's supper. OUR Lord and his disciples closed the first celebration of this institution by singing a hymn. We read, When they had sung an hymn, they went out into the Mount of Olives. It is probable that they sung some, if not all, of the Psalms, from the 113th to the 118th, which the Jews were accustomed to sing after the Passover. As in attending to this holy and delightful exercise, we are only copying the primitive example; and as some select and suitable Psalms and Hymns may assist our devotion, they are here added for that purpose. They are chiefly on subjects directly connected with the different chapters of this Treatise. |
