Psalms137:5
No harp but for Jesus.
1. The harp consecrated. At conversion.
"One sword, at least, thy rights shall guard,
One faithful harp shall praise thee."
2. The harp silent:
"Thy songs were made for the brave and free,
They shall never sound in slavery."
3. The harp restrung above:
"And I heard the voice of harpers
Harping with their harps." —W. B. H.
Verses 5-6.
1. To rejoice with the world is to forget the church.
2. To love the church we must prefer her above everything.
3. To serve the church we must be prepared to suffer anything.
