But let\r\namatory songs be banished far away, and let our songs be hymns to\r\nGod. “Let them praise,” it is said, “His name in the dance, and let\r\nthem play to Him on the timbrel and psaltery.”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_508\" id=\"FNanchor_508\">[508]</a> And what is the\r\nchoir which plays? The Spirit will show thee: “Let His praise be in\r\nthe congregation (church) of the saints; let them be joyful in their\r\nKing.”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_509\" id=\"FNanchor_509\">[509]</a> And again he adds, “The Lord will take pleasure in His\r\npeople.”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_510\" id=\"FNanchor_510\">[510]</a> For temperate harmonies are to be admitted; but we are to\r\nbanish as far as possible from our robust mind those liquid harmonies,\r\nwhich, through pernicious arts in the modulations of tones, train to\r\neffeminacy and scurrility. But grave and modest strains say farewell to\r\nthe turbulence of drunkenness. Chromatic harmonies are therefore to be\r\nabandoned to immodest revels, and to florid and meretricious music.</p>","headings":["THE WRITINGS OF CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA.","THE INSTRUCTOR.","BOOK II.","CHAPTER IV.
