And these are the singers . . . they were employed in that work day and night.
1 Chronicles 9:33
"As mercy did not cease to rule either by day or by night, so neither
did music hush its holy ministry.
My heart, there is a lesson sweetly taught to thee in the ceaseless song of Zion's temple....God's praise is constant in heaven.
Around the earth as the sun scatters his light, his beams awaken grateful believers to tune their morning hymn, so that by the priesthood of the saints perpetual praise is kept up at all hours, they swathe our globe in a mantle of thanksgiving, and girdle it with a golden belt of song.
Have we not something to sing about at this moment?
Can we not weave a song out of
Let us be stirred up to close the day with a psalm of sanctified gladness."
Charles Spurgeon

Let us be stirred up to close the day with a psalm of sanctified gladness."
