00:23:58.559 --> 00:24:04.359
And<00:23:59.359><c> verse</c><00:23:59.619><c> 19</c><00:24:00.039><c> says</c><00:24:00.380><c> that</c><00:24:00.539><c> when</c><00:24:00.579><c> it</c><00:24:00.680><c> was</c><00:24:00.779><c> all</c><00:24:01.019><c> over,</c><00:24:03.940><c> the</c><00:24:03.960><c> house</c><00:24:04.160><c> of</c>

00:24:04.359 --> 00:24:06.680
God<00:24:04.480><c> was</c><00:24:04.660><c> burned</c><00:24:04.859><c> with</c><00:24:05.140><c> fire.</c>

00:24:09.079 --> 00:24:12.200
The<00:24:09.200><c> place</c><00:24:09.339><c> where</c><00:24:09.519><c> the</c><00:24:09.660><c> ark</c><00:24:09.799><c> of</c><00:24:09.920><c> the</c><00:24:10.079><c> presence</c><00:24:10.339><c> had</c><00:24:10.539><c> once</c><00:24:10.900><c> been</c>

00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:21.440
Now<00:24:18.619><c> I</c><00:24:18.640><c> think</c><00:24:18.799><c> the</c><00:24:18.980><c> house</c><00:24:19.160><c> of</c><00:24:19.339><c> Asaph</c><00:24:19.599><c> must</c><00:24:19.859><c> have</c><00:24:19.980><c> been</c><00:24:20.200><c> so</c><00:24:20.680><c> desolated</c><00:24:21.220><c> by</c>

those<00:24:21.660><c> events.</c>

00:24:23.740 --> 00:24:25.900
We<00:24:23.920><c> know</c><00:24:24.079><c> that</c><00:24:24.279><c> because</c><00:24:24.460><c> they</c><00:24:24.660><c> wrote</c><00:24:24.859><c> Psalms</c><00:24:25.299><c> to</c><00:24:25.539><c> commemorate</c>

00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:45.599
This<00:24:42.079><c> family</c><00:24:42.660><c> mourned.</c>

00:24:45.859 --> 00:24:50.000
This<00:24:46.160><c> family</c><00:24:46.460><c> cried.</c><00:24:47.440><c> They</c><00:24:47.720><c> cried</c><00:24:47.940><c> to</c><00:24:48.119><c> God</c><00:24:48.460><c> that</c><00:24:49.740><c> he</c><00:24:49.839><c> might</c>

00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:50.859
remember<00:24:50.400><c> this</c><00:24:50.660><c> moment</c>

00:24:50.859 --> 00:24:55.480

00:24:55.480 --> 00:24:57.180

00:24:57.180 --> 00:25:01.559
And<00:24:57.579><c> God</c><00:24:57.880><c> would</c><00:24:58.140><c> answer</c><00:24:58.400><c> the</c><00:24:58.720><c> cries</c><00:24:59.099><c> of</c><00:24:59.779><c> this</c><00:25:00.319><c> family</c><00:25:00.619><c> in</c><00:25:00.880><c> good</c><00:25:01.200><c> time.</c>

00:25:01.880 --> 00:25:08.019
But<00:25:02.099><c> in</c><00:25:02.460><c> the</c><00:25:02.599><c> meantime</c><00:25:03.160><c> the</c><00:25:03.440><c> house</c><00:25:03.700><c> of</c><00:25:03.980><c> Asaph</c><00:25:04.380><c> were</c><00:25:04.740><c> put</c><00:25:05.140><c> in</c><00:25:05.640><c> the</c><00:25:05.880><c> basket</c><00:25:06.420><c> of</c>

good<00:25:08.359><c> figs</c>

00:25:16.019 --> 00:25:19.619
Now<00:25:16.500><c> what</c><00:25:16.619><c> do</c><00:25:16.799><c> you</c><00:25:16.799><c> think</c><00:25:16.920><c> the</c><00:25:17.079><c> house</c><00:25:17.299><c> of</c><00:25:17.460><c> Asaph</c><00:25:17.720><c> did</c><00:25:18.079><c> when</c><00:25:18.400><c> they</c><00:25:18.539><c> were</c><00:25:18.640><c> in</c><00:25:18.799><c> Babylon?</c>

00:25:22.380 --> 00:25:24.789
How<00:25:22.960><c> do</c><00:25:23.119><c> you</c><00:25:23.119><c> think</c><00:25:23.240><c> the</c><00:25:23.400><c> house</c><00:25:23.519><c> of</c><00:25:23.680><c> Asaph</c><00:25:24.000><c> behaved?</c>

00:25:27.220 --> 00:25:30.799
What<00:25:27.359><c> do</c><00:25:27.480><c> you</c><00:25:27.500><c> think</c><00:25:27.599><c> the</c><00:25:27.940><c> spirit</c><00:25:28.160><c> of</c><00:25:28.299><c> the</c><00:25:28.460><c> family</c><00:25:28.680><c> was</c><00:25:29.279><c> when</c>

00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:33.259
they<00:25:31.039><c> marched</c><00:25:31.480><c> into</c><00:25:31.920><c> the</c><00:25:32.160><c> pagan</c><00:25:32.619><c> city</c>

00:25:33.259 --> 00:25:36.799
of<00:25:33.680><c> Babylon,</c><00:25:33.980><c> the</c><00:25:34.059><c> very</c><00:25:34.380><c> centre</c><00:25:34.779><c> of</c><00:25:35.220><c> apostasy</c><00:25:35.779><c> itself?</c>

00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:42.940
Well<00:25:38.799><c> fortunately</c><00:25:39.400><c> I</c><00:25:41.420><c> think</c><00:25:41.599><c> we</c><00:25:41.779><c> have</c><00:25:41.920><c> a</c><00:25:42.059><c> Bible</c><00:25:42.279><c> passage</c><00:25:42.640><c> that</c>

00:25:42.940 --> 00:25:44.980
tells<00:25:43.180><c> us</c><00:25:43.480><c> exactly</c><00:25:44.039><c> what</c><00:25:44.400><c> they</c><00:25:44.740><c> thought</c>

00:25:44.980 --> 00:25:48.319
and<00:25:45.259><c> exactly</c><00:25:46.400><c> what</c><00:25:46.640><c> this</c><00:25:46.900><c> family</c><00:25:47.240><c> did.</c>

00:25:50.200 --> 00:25:52.079
It's<00:25:50.380><c> actually</c><00:25:50.559><c> in</c><00:25:50.779><c> a</c><00:25:50.980><c> psalm.</c>

00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:56.539
It<00:25:52.240><c> doesn't</c><00:25:52.640><c> say</c><00:25:52.940><c> it's</c><00:25:53.259><c> written</c><00:25:53.500><c> by</c><00:25:53.759><c> this</c><00:25:54.039><c> family,</c><00:25:54.779><c> but</c><00:25:55.359><c> I</c><00:25:56.160><c> wonder</c><00:25:56.339><c> in</c>

00:25:56.539 --> 00:25:58.880
fact<00:25:56.859><c> whether</c><00:25:57.240><c> perhaps</c><00:25:57.640><c> it</c><00:25:57.900><c> was.</c>

00:25:59.099 --> 00:26:04.839
And<00:25:59.359><c> that</c><00:25:59.619><c> psalm</c><00:26:00.920><c> is</c><00:26:01.200><c> Psalm</c><00:26:02.299><c> 137.</c>

00:26:05.599 --> 00:26:09.339
Now<00:26:05.859><c> come</c><00:26:06.000><c> and</c><00:26:06.079><c> have</c><00:26:06.200><c> a</c><00:26:06.299><c> look</c><00:26:06.400><c> at</c><00:26:06.579><c> this</c><00:26:06.859><c> because</c><00:26:07.859><c> the</c><00:26:08.420><c> psalm</c>

00:26:09.339 --> 00:26:12.299
perhaps<00:26:09.819><c> means</c><00:26:10.259><c> more</c><00:26:10.559><c> than</c><00:26:10.640><c> you</c><00:26:10.779><c> might</c><00:26:11.079><c> think.</c>

00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:17.279
Psalm<00:26:15.160><c> 137</c><00:26:15.559><c> says</c><00:26:15.960><c> this.</c>

00:26:19.220 --> 00:26:20.720
At<00:26:19.400><c> the</c><00:26:19.559><c> top</c><00:26:19.720><c> of</c><00:26:19.900><c> the</c><00:26:20.079><c> psalm</c><00:26:20.279><c> is</c><00:26:20.440><c> a</c><00:26:20.579><c> heading.</c>

00:26:20.819 --> 00:26:22.700

00:26:23.140 --> 00:26:24.279
They've<00:26:23.460><c> been</c><00:26:23.640><c> added</c><00:26:23.799><c> later</c><00:26:24.099><c> on.</c>

00:26:24.380 --> 00:26:26.119
But<00:26:24.440><c> you</c><00:26:24.539><c> see</c><00:26:24.559><c> what</c><00:26:24.660><c> the</c><00:26:24.839><c> heading</c><00:26:25.000><c> is</c><00:26:25.220><c> to</c><00:26:25.420><c> this</c><00:26:25.680><c> psalm?</c>

00:26:26.259 --> 00:26:32.960
It<00:26:26.500><c> says</c><00:26:27.019><c> the</c><00:26:27.819><c> constancy</c><00:26:29.039><c> of</c><00:26:30.039><c> the</c><00:26:30.420><c> Jews</c><00:26:31.059><c> in</c><00:26:32.299><c> captivity.</c>

00:26:33.259 --> 00:26:37.299
That's<00:26:33.660><c> the</c><00:26:33.880><c> heading</c><00:26:34.079><c> over</c><00:26:34.380><c> the</c><00:26:34.579><c> top</c><00:26:34.740><c> of</c><00:26:35.420><c> Psalm</c><00:26:35.880><c> 137.</c>

00:26:37.619 --> 00:26:38.400
And<00:26:37.759><c> I</c><00:26:37.839><c> think</c><00:26:37.920><c> that's</c><00:26:38.200><c> true.</c>

00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:40.940
This<00:26:38.680><c> psalm</c><00:26:38.980><c> is</c><00:26:39.059><c> going</c><00:26:39.220><c> to</c><00:26:39.420><c> celebrate</c><00:26:39.700><c> the</c><00:26:39.980><c> constancy</c><00:26:40.500><c> of</c><00:26:40.700><c> the</c>

00:26:42.579 --> 00:26:44.960
But<00:26:42.920><c> I</c><00:26:43.119><c> don't</c><00:26:43.319><c> think</c><00:26:43.440><c> it's</c><00:26:43.759><c> celebrating</c><00:26:44.079><c> the</c><00:26:44.319><c> constancy</c><00:26:44.759><c> of</c>

00:46:20.239 --> 00:46:23.840
first<00:46:20.840><c> granted</c><00:46:21.199><c> to</c><00:46:21.440><c> their</c><00:46:21.599><c> family</c><00:46:22.019><c> in</c><00:46:22.480><c> BC</c><00:46:23.059><c> 1000.</c>

00:46:24.079 --> 00:46:25.800

00:46:31.219 --> 00:46:33.159
This<00:46:31.599><c> is</c><00:46:31.880><c> astonishing.</c>

00:46:34.619 --> 00:46:36.159
That<00:46:34.760><c> that</c><00:46:35.039><c> spirit</c><00:46:35.239><c> could</c><00:46:35.460><c> be</c><00:46:35.679><c> perpetuated</c>

00:46:36.159 --> 00:46:38.559
inside<00:46:36.619><c> one</c><00:46:37.099><c> single</c><00:46:37.539><c> family.</c>

00:46:39.019 --> 00:46:42.599
What<00:46:39.219><c> an</c><00:46:39.599><c> amazing</c><00:46:40.400><c> story</c><00:46:41.039><c> and</c><00:46:41.199><c> what</c><00:46:41.320><c> an</c><00:46:41.579><c> amazing</c><00:46:42.179><c> lesson</c>

00:46:42.599 --> 00:46:46.300
that<00:46:42.800><c> a</c><00:46:42.960><c> family</c><00:46:43.139><c> could</c><00:46:43.400><c> be</c><00:46:43.780><c> so</c><00:46:44.239><c> faithful</c><00:46:44.699><c> in</c><00:46:45.199><c> that</c><00:46:45.460><c> way.</c>

00:46:47.980 --> 00:46:49.280
So<00:46:48.260><c> I</c><00:46:48.320><c> think</c><00:46:48.460><c> there's</c><00:46:48.619><c> a</c><00:46:48.780><c> lesson,</c><00:46:49.000><c> you</c><00:46:49.159><c> see,</c>

00:46:49.300 --> 00:46:51.539
that<00:46:49.440><c> we</c><00:46:49.619><c> take</c><00:46:49.800><c> out</c><00:46:50.019><c> of</c><00:46:50.420><c> that</c><00:46:50.739><c> story</c><00:46:51.039><c> this</c><00:46:51.340><c> morning,</c>

00:46:51.539 --> 00:46:52.699
and<00:46:51.679><c> I</c><00:46:51.800><c> think</c><00:46:51.900><c> the</c><00:46:52.119><c> lesson</c><00:46:52.340><c> is</c><00:46:52.559><c> this.</c>

00:46:52.719 --> 00:46:55.559
It's<00:46:52.980><c> about</c><00:46:53.280><c> really</c><00:46:53.760><c> the</c><00:46:54.039><c> virtue</c><00:46:54.420><c> of</c><00:46:55.039><c> constancy</c>

00:46:55.559 --> 00:46:57.199
in<00:46:56.019><c> that</c><00:46:56.179><c> which</c><00:46:56.380><c> this</c><00:46:56.699><c> family</c><00:46:56.980><c> did.</c>

00:46:57.460 --> 00:46:58.980
Do<00:46:57.579><c> you</c><00:46:57.619><c> know</c><00:46:57.719><c> that</c><00:46:57.880><c> our</c><00:46:58.059><c> very</c><00:46:58.340><c> first</c><00:46:58.619><c> hymn</c><00:46:58.840><c> book</c>

00:47:05.159 --> 00:47:06.679
And<00:47:05.239><c> in</c><00:47:05.460><c> that</c><00:47:05.659><c> hymn</c><00:47:05.900><c> book,</c>

00:47:11.039 --> 00:47:14.500

and<00:47:22.400><c> pure</c><00:47:22.719><c> and</c><00:47:23.400><c> resonated</c><00:47:23.900><c> with</c><00:47:24.320><c> and</c><00:47:24.840><c> guarded</c><00:47:25.179><c> the</c><00:47:25.539><c> heritage</c>

relentlessly,

00:50:27.539 --> 00:50:29.719
irrevocably<00:50:28.380><c> lost.</c>

00:50:31.940 --> 00:50:35.480
Let's<00:50:32.739><c> learn</c><00:50:33.000><c> the</c><00:50:33.260><c> spirit</c><00:50:33.400><c> of</c><00:50:33.599><c> this</c><00:50:33.840><c> family,</c>

00:50:36.019 --> 00:50:40.539
concerning<00:50:36.219><c> whom</c><00:50:36.440><c> we</c><00:50:36.579><c> might</c><00:50:36.860><c> learn</c><00:50:37.219><c> this</c><00:50:38.179><c> last</c><00:50:38.659><c> and</c><00:50:39.019><c> final</c><00:50:39.380><c> principle,</c>

00:50:40.699 --> 00:50:43.960
which<00:50:40.820><c> was</c><00:50:41.079><c> the</c><00:50:41.280><c> benchmark</c><00:50:41.780><c> of</c><00:50:42.059><c> their</c><00:50:42.320><c> hymns.</c>

00:50:44.360 --> 00:50:48.579
You<00:50:44.920><c> see,</c><00:50:45.519><c> the</c><00:50:45.679><c> musical</c><00:50:46.079><c> instruments</c><00:50:46.739><c> used</c><00:50:47.280><c> in</c><00:50:47.460><c> the</c><00:50:47.639><c> temple</c><00:50:47.900><c> worship</c>

00:50:48.579 --> 00:50:53.940
were<00:50:49.619><c> specially</c><00:50:50.300><c> made</c><00:50:50.960><c> by</c><00:50:51.420><c> David</c><00:50:51.800><c> for</c><00:50:52.179><c> praising</c><00:50:52.659><c> Almighty</c><00:50:53.420><c> God.</c>

00:50:54.280 --> 00:50:55.599
We're<00:50:54.500><c> told</c><00:50:54.699><c> that.</c>

00:50:56.199 --> 00:50:58.500
And<00:50:56.360><c> we</c><00:50:56.519><c> suggested</c><00:50:57.000><c> yesterday</c><00:50:57.599><c> that</c><00:50:57.780><c> it</c><00:50:57.820><c> is</c><00:50:58.019><c> likely</c>

00:50:58.500 --> 00:51:01.300
that<00:50:58.679><c> he</c><00:50:58.860><c> received</c><00:50:59.239><c> the</c><00:50:59.500><c> pattern</c><00:50:59.699><c> for</c><00:50:59.920><c> these</c><00:51:00.079><c> by</c><00:51:00.679><c> revelation</c>

00:51:01.300 --> 00:51:03.800
and<00:51:01.619><c> common</c><00:51:01.800><c> with</c><00:51:01.980><c> all</c><00:51:02.300><c> the</c><00:51:02.500><c> other</c><00:51:02.780><c> instruments</c><00:51:03.139><c> of</c><00:51:03.480><c> service</c>

00:51:04.679 --> 00:51:07.719
That's<00:51:05.079><c> the</c><00:51:05.239><c> testimony</c><00:51:05.639><c> of</c><00:51:05.820><c> the</c><00:51:05.960><c> 1st</c><00:51:06.199><c> of</c><00:51:06.380><c> Chronicles,</c><00:51:06.940><c> Chapter</c><00:51:07.260><c> 28.</c>

00:51:07.880 --> 00:51:09.380
And<00:51:08.239><c> perhaps</c><00:51:08.519><c> for</c><00:51:08.739><c> that</c><00:51:08.900><c> very</c><00:51:09.099><c> reason,</c>

00:51:09.460 --> 00:51:11.500
they're<00:51:09.639><c> called</c><00:51:09.780><c> the</c><00:51:10.079><c> musical</c><00:51:10.400><c> instruments</c><00:51:10.860><c> of</c><00:51:11.179><c> God</c>

00:51:11.500 --> 00:51:15.199
because<00:51:11.900><c> they</c><00:51:12.159><c> came</c><00:51:12.460><c> by</c><00:51:12.940><c> express</c><00:51:13.400><c> inspiration</c><00:51:14.199><c> of</c><00:51:14.639><c> God</c><00:51:14.800><c> himself.</c>

00:51:15.380 --> 00:51:18.840
He<00:51:15.679><c> chose</c><00:51:16.239><c> the</c><00:51:16.619><c> music</c><00:51:17.019><c> and</c><00:51:17.480><c> the</c><00:51:17.780><c> sounds.</c>

00:51:20.199 --> 00:51:22.719
And<00:51:20.300><c> the</c><00:51:20.460><c> interesting</c><00:51:20.739><c> thing</c><00:51:20.980><c> is</c><00:51:21.079><c> that</c><00:51:21.179><c> when</c><00:51:21.280><c> we</c><00:51:21.420><c> come</c><00:51:21.539><c> to</c><00:51:21.760><c> later</c><00:51:22.059><c> revivals</c><00:51:22.480><c> of</c>

00:51:23.559 --> 00:51:25.400
they<00:51:23.800><c> never</c><00:51:24.139><c> deviated</c><00:51:24.619><c> from</c><00:51:24.820><c> that</c><00:51:25.079><c> standard.</c>

00:51:25.599 --> 00:51:28.260
In<00:51:25.860><c> the</c><00:51:26.079><c> days</c><00:51:26.280><c> of</c><00:51:26.480><c> Hezekiah,</c><00:51:27.079><c> in</c><00:51:27.260><c> the</c><00:51:27.400><c> days</c><00:51:27.619><c> of</c><00:51:27.820><c> Nehemiah,</c>

00:51:28.420 --> 00:51:31.119
they<00:51:28.659><c> played</c><00:51:29.039><c> on</c><00:51:29.360><c> the</c><00:51:29.579><c> musical</c><00:51:29.880><c> instruments</c><00:51:30.360><c> of</c><00:51:30.820><c> David,</c>

00:51:31.139 --> 00:51:33.800
and<00:51:31.280><c> I</c><00:51:31.480><c> think</c><00:51:31.719><c> that</c><00:51:32.039><c> it</c><00:51:32.239><c> means</c><00:51:32.440><c> the</c><00:51:32.719><c> original</c><00:51:33.260><c> instruments.</c>

00:51:34.039 --> 00:51:36.400
They<00:51:34.320><c> never,</c><00:51:34.800><c> ever</c><00:51:35.219><c> changed</c><00:51:35.699><c> those</c><00:51:35.980><c> instruments,</c>

00:51:36.539 --> 00:51:39.300
and<00:51:36.760><c> they</c><00:51:37.039><c> never,</c><00:51:37.440><c> ever</c><00:51:38.019><c> brought</c><00:51:38.300><c> in</c><00:51:38.619><c> other</c><00:51:38.840><c> instruments,</c>

00:51:39.300 --> 00:51:41.739
only<00:51:39.639><c> the</c><00:51:39.860><c> ones</c><00:51:40.039><c> that</c><00:51:40.280><c> God</c><00:51:40.460><c> had</c><00:51:40.719><c> authorized.</c>

00:51:42.699 --> 00:51:44.239
There<00:51:42.760><c> was</c><00:51:42.900><c> never</c><00:51:43.119><c> a</c><00:51:43.300><c> change.</c>

00:51:45.340 --> 00:51:48.480
There<00:51:45.420><c> was</c><00:51:45.659><c> a</c><00:51:45.800><c> virtue</c><00:51:46.079><c> of</c><00:51:46.539><c> constancy</c><00:51:47.139><c> in</c><00:51:47.500><c> all</c><00:51:47.840><c> they</c><00:51:48.179><c> did</c>

00:51:48.480 --> 00:51:50.980
down<00:51:48.940><c> through</c><00:51:49.179><c> their</c><00:51:49.360><c> successive</c><00:51:49.820><c> generations.</c>

00:51:51.000 --> 00:51:52.480
And<00:51:51.119><c> you</c><00:51:51.340><c> see,</c><00:51:51.639><c> in</c><00:51:51.840><c> similar</c><00:51:52.119><c> fashion,</c>

00:51:52.699 --> 00:51:54.460
just<00:51:52.780><c> as</c><00:51:52.980><c> the</c><00:51:53.300><c> instruments</c><00:51:53.619><c> never</c><00:51:53.960><c> changed,</c>

00:51:54.920 --> 00:51:56.159
neither<00:51:55.159><c> did</c><00:51:55.420><c> the</c><00:51:55.719><c> words.</c>

00:51:56.480 --> 00:51:59.159
And<00:51:56.699><c> so</c><00:51:56.840><c> the</c><00:51:57.199><c> psalm</c><00:51:57.539><c> delivered</c><00:51:57.840><c> to</c><00:51:58.000><c> them</c><00:51:58.139><c> by</c><00:51:58.460><c> David</c><00:51:58.780><c> to</c><00:51:59.019><c> sing</c>

00:51:59.159 --> 00:51:59.840
before<00:51:59.480><c> the</c><00:51:59.719><c> ark</c>

00:51:59.840 --> 00:52:02.719

00:52:02.719 --> 00:52:05.380
became<00:52:03.300><c> the</c><00:52:03.719><c> very</c><00:52:04.260><c> center</c><00:52:04.699><c> of</c><00:52:05.019><c> their</c><00:52:05.340><c> worship.</c>

00:52:05.380 --> 00:52:09.940
And<00:52:06.260><c> its</c><00:52:06.920><c> simple</c><00:52:07.579><c> majesty</c><00:52:08.280><c> was</c><00:52:08.920><c> never</c><00:52:09.260><c> dimmed,</c><00:52:09.780><c> was</c><00:52:09.820><c> it,</c>

00:52:10.039 --> 00:52:12.219
throughout<00:52:10.260><c> all</c><00:52:10.539><c> the</c><00:52:10.719><c> centuries</c><00:52:11.059><c> that</c><00:52:11.219><c> they</c><00:52:11.519><c> sang</c><00:52:11.719><c> it.</c>

00:52:12.440 --> 00:52:15.179
And<00:52:12.639><c> now</c><00:52:12.820><c> we're</c><00:52:13.079><c> standing</c><00:52:13.260><c> in</c><00:52:13.440><c> Ezra</c><00:52:13.659><c> chapter</c><00:52:14.039><c> 3,</c>

00:52:15.539 --> 00:52:19.260
so,<00:52:15.840><c> so,</c><00:52:16.260><c> so</c><00:52:16.719><c> many,</c><00:52:17.199><c> hundreds</c><00:52:17.480><c> of</c><00:52:17.800><c> years</c><00:52:18.179><c> later.</c>

00:52:21.820 --> 00:52:25.079
And<00:52:22.320><c> they're</c><00:52:22.480><c> still</c><00:52:22.719><c> singing</c><00:52:22.880><c> the</c><00:52:23.079><c> same</c><00:52:23.320><c> hymn,</c>

00:52:26.440 --> 00:52:27.980
with<00:52:26.579><c> the</c><00:52:26.679><c> same</c><00:52:26.840><c> words.</c>

00:52:30.760 --> 00:52:33.300
And<00:52:31.039><c> I</c><00:52:31.139><c> think</c><00:52:31.280><c> they're</c><00:52:31.440><c> singing</c><00:52:31.679><c> it</c><00:52:31.820><c> with</c><00:52:31.880><c> the</c><00:52:32.039><c> same</c><00:52:32.199><c> passion.</c>

00:52:35.380 --> 00:52:38.300
They<00:52:35.659><c> had</c><00:52:35.860><c> a</c><00:52:36.019><c> heritage,</c><00:52:36.360><c> and</c><00:52:36.480><c> they</c><00:52:36.619><c> guarded</c><00:52:36.820><c> it.</c>

00:52:38.579 --> 00:52:40.400
And<00:52:38.760><c> I</c><00:52:38.860><c> think</c><00:52:38.960><c> it's</c><00:52:39.239><c> reasonable</c><00:52:39.559><c> to</c><00:52:39.840><c> assume,</c><00:52:40.099><c> therefore,</c>

00:52:40.440 --> 00:52:45.400
that<00:52:40.639><c> just</c><00:52:40.900><c> as</c><00:52:41.099><c> both</c><00:52:41.380><c> instrument</c><00:52:42.000><c> and</c><00:52:42.960><c> word</c><00:52:43.519><c> did</c><00:52:44.099><c> not</c><00:52:44.400><c> vary,</c>

00:52:46.820 --> 00:52:50.940
I<00:52:47.000><c> think</c><00:52:47.139><c> the</c><00:52:47.380><c> music</c><00:52:47.619><c> remained</c><00:52:48.000><c> unchanged</c><00:52:48.639><c> through</c><00:52:49.800><c> the</c><00:52:49.980><c> centuries.</c>

00:52:51.400 --> 00:52:57.920
Their<00:52:51.800><c> songs</c><00:52:52.460><c> and</c><00:52:53.820><c> their</c><00:52:54.139><c> music</c><00:52:54.719><c> expressed</c><00:52:55.599><c> the</c><00:52:56.320><c> joy</c><00:52:56.980><c> of</c>

00:52:57.920 --> 00:52:59.579
eternal<00:52:58.500><c> truths.</c>

00:53:00.159 --> 00:53:02.179
And<00:53:00.500><c> when</c><00:53:00.840><c> truths</c><00:53:01.239><c> are</c><00:53:01.659><c> eternal,</c>

00:53:02.179 --> 00:53:07.599
