When using a short introduction, you may want to slow the tempo at the end to express a sense of completion. In early Christian tradition, most hymns were musical settings of adapted scriptural texts. Most of our current hymns relate to a number of scriptures; some of the many possibilities are listed at the end of each hymn. Using the Topical Guide and Index found in the Latter-day Saint edition of the scriptures, you will find many more verses of scripture that enrich the messages of our hymns.
Although part singing soprano, alto, tenor, and bass has a strong tradition in the Church, the goal in congregational singing is that all participate, no matter what their vocal ability may be. Because many members sing the melody regardless of their vocal range, the hymns are in keys that accommodate both unison and part singing.
Some hymns—and parts of hymns—are specifically written for unison singing. The hymns you select should reflect the general character of the meeting and help establish the proper spirit. The opening hymn may be one of supplication or praise; it may express gratitude for the gospel, joy in being able to gather together, or enthusiasm for the work to be done.
An intermediate hymn provides an opportunity for congregational participation and may relate to the subject of the talks presented in the meeting. The congregation may stand during this hymn as appropriate. The closing hymn is an opportunity for the congregation to respond to the spirit and content of the meeting. Not every hymn is suitable for every Church-related occasion.
Some hymns may be more appropriate for a youth gathering than for a sacrament meeting. You need not feel compelled to sing all the verses of a hymn unless the message is otherwise incomplete.
However, do not routinely shorten a hymn by singing just the first one or two verses. Singing the verses printed below the music is encouraged. In addition to using hymns already known and loved, members are encouraged to become acquainted with new or less familiar hymns.
Try to achieve a good balance between familiar favorites and less well-known hymns. Standard, well-known hymns are often the best choice for stake conference, particularly if hymnbooks are not available for the entire congregation. Here are a few such hymns:.

In this edition of the hymnbook no distinction is made between choir and congregational hymns. Choirs should use the hymnbook as their basic resource, selecting from the entire book. Choirs may also sing other appropriate anthems and hymn arrangements not included in the hymnbook. Choirs may want to keep copies of the past editions of the hymnbook to take advantage of higher keys and the possibility of modulating from one key to another.
If only one copy of a previous edition is available, a hymn may be copied and used for this purpose, unless this is prohibited by the copyright notice. Hymns from the hymnbook, sung without variation, are always appropriate as choir selections. You may also vary your presentation of the hymns; however, use such variations sparingly, making sure they are consistent with the spirit of the hymn.

For a congregational hymn in priesthood meeting, it is generally preferable to choose from the standard congregational hymns or from those marked Men.
