The First Presidency has said:
"Inspirational music is an essential part
of our church meetings.
The hymns invite the
Spirit of the Lord, create a feeling of reverence,
unify us as members, and provide a
way for us to offer praises to the Lord.
"Some of the greatest sermons are preached
by the singing of hymns.
Hymns move us to repentance and good works,
build testimony and faith, comfort the weary,
console the mourning.
and inspire us to endure to the end."
The singing of hymns is one of the best ways
to put ourselves in tune with the Spirit of the Lord.
I wonder if we are making enough use
of this heaven-sent resource in our meetings, in our classes,
and in our homes
