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

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