When you seek for heaven's light,
When you ponder what is right,
Feel the stirrings there in the heartstrings.
Revelation is His way.
As the Spirit testifies,
Even from thy youth,
Heed the promptings of His voice
Ever speaking truth.
When a question plagues your mind,
Heaven's answers you can find.
Thoughts and pictures, drawn from the scriptures,
Lead you ever to the truth.
As you pray to know His will,
All His words attend
'Til all mysteries be known,
Even to the end.

20 Ways to Add
Variety to the Singing of Hymns:
1. Sing the hymns
without any variation whatsoever.
2. Combine hymns into
a medley of hymns.
3. Change the time
signature of a hymn or a verse or section.
For example, a hymn in 3-4 time could be changed to 4-4 time by adding
an extra beat to each measure.
4. Men, women, or
both sing one or more verses in unison.
5. The congregation
joins the choir on the final verse or chorus of a hymn. (This is a great way to
help the congregation become more familiar with lesser-known hymns.)
6. Women sing one or
more verses. Women can sing most hymns
in two parts (soprano and alto) or in three parts (soprano, alto, and tenor).
7. Men sing one or
more verses. Many hymns can be adapted
for use by men's choirs and quartets.
One idea is to arrange the voices in the following manner:
-Baritones (1st basses) sing melody
-1st Tenors sing alto above the melody
-2nd Tenors sing Tenor
-Basses sing Bass
