Church hymns bring about a melody of love


February 12, 2013 · 10:40 AM

My, my, not only is Mr. DeVol an expert on federal, state and local government, but now he is an expert on the music played in our churches.

Well, Mr. DeVol, I happen to be one of those old grannies that you so graciously ridiculed a few weeks ago. In case this is something you didn’t know, those old hymns are prayers put to music. So I am going to pray for you, Mr. DeVol, and for this old world because God knows you can use a lot of it and because in my heart there rings a melody with heaven’s harmony. In my heart there rings a melody of love.
