Hymn-Singing: Controversy Among the Baptized Churches | Particular Pilgrim

Should we sing in public worship? Can you defend this from a scriptural basis? What shall we sing? Should it only be psalms or scripture in meter or uninspired human compositions? How should we sing? Should it be done solo or with the whole congregation?

In the late 17th Century Hymn-singing controversy in Particular Baptist churches, these questions were vigorously taken up. They were thought to be important because it was a matter of the right worship of God. What lessons can we learn from this controversy?
