I know not why God’s wondrous grace

If Christ is preached to the extent that He is "appointed" as the Lord, there will not be quietness and dullness but disturbance!

Singing hymns concerning spiritual experience, such as Hymns, #482 and #333, or singing hymns concerning the assurance and joy of salvation, such as Hymns, #297 and #1003, are not fitting for the remembrance of the Lord.

Hymns, #492, "In all thy work, O Lord, Thou didst," is a very deep hymn with a specific subject; hence, it is not suitable as an opening hymn. Hymns, #207, "Lord Jesus! when we think of Thee, / Of all Thy love and grace," is toward the Lord; hence, it cannot be used as an opening hymn in a fellowship meeting. Hymns, #333, "I know not why God's wondrous grace / To me He hath made known," cannot be used because the chorus is a quotation from the Bible; it is very specific. Hymns, #707 is on counting God's blessing and therefore is not appropriate. Hymns, #657, "Can you be obedient / To the Lord of all," is a challenging hymn and therefore is not suitable. Hymns, #1048, "Just as I am, without one plea," should be used in gospel preaching. Hymns, #397, "More holiness give me," can be sung at the beginning of a fellowship meeting when there is a feeling of insipidness. Hymns, #280, "Lord, may Thy blood now cleanse me, / Wash all my sins away," is barely acceptable. Hymns, #705, "In some way or other the Lord will provide," is very specific and therefore not appropriate.
