All these were under the hands of their father for song in the house of the Lord, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God, according to the king’s order to Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman.
So the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of the Lord, even all that were cunning, was two hundred fourscore and eight."
1 Chronicles 25:5-7
I love the idea here of so many people being dedicated to "song in the house of the Lord" and that they were "instructed in the songs of the Lord." Uplifting music can help us in many of the same ways that scriptures do, but hymns at church are also a community experience, which I love--joining with others to praise the Lord through song. :)

Christ and his disciples sung hymns, as we learn in Matthew 26:30 and Mark 14:26. Many talks in conference have been about worshiping through music, the power of hymns, and emphasized congregational singing. Many more quote hymns as they teach. Today, let's learn more about the songs of the Lord, and be willing to be part of that kind of worship. :)
