Reverence Invites Revelation

"Music is of enormous importance in our worship services. I believe that those who choose, conduct, present, and accompany the music may influence the spirit of reverence in our meetings more than a speaker does. God bless them... An organist who has the sensitivity to quietly play prelude music from the hymnbook tempers our feelings and causes us to go over in our minds the lyrics which teach the peaceable things of the kingdom. If we will listen, they are teaching the gospel, for the hymns of the Restoration are, in fact, a course in doctrine!" -Boyd K. Packer

  1. Wow. I think we've underestimated the hymns! That's so amazing. Makes you want to be an organist! ;)
    I hadn't thought of that calling as a way to teach the gospel. What a wonderful insight!
