FWho laid [earth] cornerstone, when the morning stars sang together, and all the dins of God shouted for joy?
Job 38:6-7
One of NASA observatories has discovered a giant black hole that hums, located in the Perseus cluster of galaxies about 250 million light years from the earth. The black hole vibrates at the frequency of a B flat. But it is too low a pitch to be picked up by human ear. Scientific instruments have placed the note at 57 octaves below middle C on a piano.
The idea of music and heavenly bodies is not new in fact, when God revealed Himself to Job. He asked "Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?. . . when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?" (JOB.38:4,7). We are told that at the creation of our marvelous universe. Songs of praise and shout of joy resounded to God's glory.
A wonderful hymn by St. Francis of ASSiSi capture the awe and worship we feel when beholding the radiant sun by day or by star studded sky st night.
All creature of our God and King,
Lift up your voice and with us sing Alleluia, Alleluia!
Thou burning sun with golden beam,
Thou silver moon with softer gleam,
O praise Him, O praise Him!
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
The heaven declare the glory of God: and the firmament
Shows His handiwork" (PS.19:1).
Let's praise the One who made such beauty for us to enjoy!
