These are the singers, chief of the fathers of the Levites, who remaining in the chambers were free: for they were employed in that work day and night. (1 Chron. 9:33)
In the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God. (Neh. 12:46)
Learning from Thy lips forever
All the Father’s heart,
Thou hast, in that joy eternal,
Chosen me my part;
There, where Jesus, Jesus only,
Fills each heart and tongue,
Where Himself is all the radiance
And Himself the song.
