Gospel Musings

“Poetry and music give wings to our thoughts so that by grace our hearts soar to the Lord. Paul Wagenaar, drawing from his meditations on the doctrines of God’s Word, offers us a poem for each week of the year, with suggested tunes for singing and a brief reflection on the meaning of the poem. This book will serve as a helpful boost for personal devotions, family worship, and other gatherings of Christian friends when we long to lift up our souls to our God.”


—Joel R. Beeke, president, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary





“Throughout human history, contemplating God and his blessings has led worshipers to burst forth in poetic verse, from the psalms and canticles of the Old Testament to the present. With Gospel Musings, the tradition continues. In a simple style that will appeal to old and young believers alike, this varied collection of poetry offers both worship and instruction, moving through core teachings of the Christian faith thoughtfully organized for each week of the year. Gospel Musings encourages our minds, lips, and hearts to remain active.”


—Michael Kearney, author of Meeting with God: A Study Guide to Abraham Kuyper’s “Our Worship”
