      Music furnishes one of the most exquisite, elevating, unwearying pleasures of which our nature is capable.  But it does much more. 

      Song and music are a language distinct from speech – the language of feeling.  This language supplies the means by which multitudes may express their thoughts as well as their feelings as with one voice.  Let a thousand people speak at once; all thought and feeling are drowned in hubbub.  But let them sing together in perfect time and tune; both thought and feeling are raised to a pitch of energy else inconceivable.

The Pulpit Commentary, Psalms Volume 1 p. 366, Psalms 47:6-7, (E. R. Conder, W. Clarkson)
