Worship through Music

The scriptures contain many affirmations that hymn singing is a glorious way to worship. Before the Savior and his Apostles left the upper room where they had the sublime experience of the Last Supper, they sang a hymn. After their hymn, the Savior led them to the Mount of Olives (see Matt. 26:30).


The Apostle Paul advised the Colossians that they should be “teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord” (Col. 3:16; see also Alma 26:8).


Modern revelation reaffirms the importance of sacred music. In one of the earliest revelations given through the Prophet Joseph Smith, the Lord appointed Emma Smith “to make a selection of sacred hymns, as it shall be given thee, which is pleasing unto me, to be had in my church.
“For my soul delighteth in the song of the heart; yea, the song of the righteous is a prayer unto me, and it shall be answered with a blessing upon their heads” (D&C 25:11–12).


In a revelation given through another prophet a generation later, the Lord commanded his people to “praise the Lord with singing, [and] with music” (D&C 136:28).



We who have “felt to sing the song of redeeming love” (Alma 5:26) need to keep singing that we may draw ever closer to him who has inspired sacred music and commanded that it be used to worship him. May we be diligent in doing so is my humble prayer.

Psalm 8 -The Heaven's Declare the Glory of God

When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place.

What is man that you are mindful of him,
the son of man that you care for him?
You made him a little lower than the heavenly
beings and crowned him with glory and honor.

(Psalm 8:4-5)

Day of Praise

I might as well
Try to number the sands of the sea
As to try and count the blessings
You have given me

As I reflect
On the miracles I've seen
My lips will not be silent
And my heart can't help but sing

I will make today
A Day of Praise
Lift my voice and sing Your name
For the glory of heaven
The mercy of Your ways
I will make today
A Day of Paise
I will make today
A Day of Praise

King of Kings
Forever You will reign
I will worship You in gratitude
Rejoicing in Your grace

Chorus

Alleluia
Alleluia
Sing Gloria!
Sing Gloria!

Sing with joy
For the gifts of life and love
Endless are the blessings
That flow from You above

Raise Your Voice

Raise Your Voice

Raise your voice
Let your song lift up to the sky
And ring through the air
For everyone to hear

Raise your hands
Lift your brother so he can see
There is good all around us
It's up to you and me

So share with the world
Until every nation rejoices in His word
And every heart believes
Let us raise our voices

Open your heart
Share the good news with everyone
Take your sister by the hand
And lear her to Love

Raise your voice
Join the chorus and we will sing
Of love, of life
Let the message ring

Chorus

That his love can take the darkest night
And turn it to day
I'll forever praise His name
