¹XXVII. WE believe that singing the Praises of God, is a holy Ordinance of Christ, and not a part of Natural Religion, or a moral Duty only; but that it is brought under Divine Institution, it being enjoined on the Churches of Christ to sing Psalms, Hymns, and spiritual Songs;² and that the whole Church in their Public Assemblies (as well as private Christians) ought to sing God's Praises, according to the best Light they have received. Moreover, it was practised in the great Representative Church, by our Lord Jesus Christ with his Disciples,³ after he had instituted and celebrated the Sacred Ordinance of his Holy Supper, as a commemorative Token of Redeeming Love.
