“If you love the Lord, if you love his doctrine, you’ll love the hymns. And when you love them, you sing them.”
– Thomas S. Monson
“The singing of hymns is one of the best ways to learn the doctrine of the restored gospel . . . It is a glorious way to worship.”
– Dallin H. Oaks
“Inspirational music is an essential part of our church meetings. The hymns invite the Spirit of the Lord, create a feeling of reverence, unify us as members, and provide a way for us to offer praises to the Lord. . . Some of the greatest sermons are preached by the singing of hymns. Hymns move us to repentance and good works, build testimony and faith, comfort the weary, console the mourning, and inspire us to endure to the end.”
– First Presidency, Hymn Book, 1985
“Our children’s happiness depends on their ability to hear and love the beautiful music of the gospel.”
– Wilford W. Andersen
