Excerpt from Quick Truths in Quaint Texts Is there, again it is asked, anything discordant between the loftiest conception of God as the high and holy One, and the description of God as sing ing? Is not song as holy as any other form of expression? Could God appear more sublimely and divinely than he is presented in this text? To Isaiah's rapt vision, in the passage already quoted, heaven's lofty temple was open and the glory of Jehovah filled its courts, and almost broke down the trembling posts of the door. The song of the angels which echoed over the plains of Bethlehem, announcing that the King had come, gave the world a still fuller example of celestial music. But we rise to a much loftier height when we hear the great God singing a song of joy over his redeemed and beloved children. This is the sublimest conception that ever challenged human thought. Dare we rise to the supernal heights of the truth here taught? Is it said that the lan guage is figurative? Without doubt, the language is figurative, but the figure must be in harmony with the fact which underlies the figure. Indeed, the fact must be vastly greater than the figure; it is, therefore, a factual figure, and not a figurative fact.
