Bonhoeffer on Christian Singing

Why do Christians sing when they are together? The reason, quite simply, is that in singing together it is possible to speak and pray the same word at the same time. In other words, because they can unite in The Word. It is the voice of the Church that is heard in singing together. It is not you that sings; it is the Church singing, and you, as a member of the Church, may share in its song. --Dietrich Bonhoeffer
