The Words We Sing
All devotion, all attention should be concentrated upon the Word in the hymn. . . . [We] do not
hum a melody; we sing words of praise to God, words of thanksgiving, confession and prayer.
Thus the music is completely the servant of the Word.
–Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together, 43
