The organist, Paul Fey, noticed the lively, engaged congregation and shared a video of the event, highlighting how the hymn\u2019s design encourages collective singing rather than individual performance. Fey, who trained near Leipzig and frequents cathedral stages, was impressed by the congregation\u2019s ability to sing conventional hymns by heart, especially in contrast to modern worship music that frequently enough prioritizes performance over participation. The event underscores the enduring power of classic hymns rooted in theological depth and congregational involvement, illustrating that such songs foster unity and active worship.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A German concert organist stopped in Douglas, Georgia, and asked a small church if it wanted to sing.

The sound of the organ echoes powerfully throughout the vast space of an auditorium.<\/p>\n<p>This is a pipe organ officially named the Boardwalk Hall Auditorium Organ (also known as the Midmer-Losh or Poseidon organ). It is recognized by the Guinness World Records as the largest and loudest musical instrument ever constructed in the world, featuring 7 manuals (keyboards) and officially containing 33,112 pipes. The organ is currently located at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA.<\/p>\n<p>This colossal instrument was built and completed between 1929 and 1932.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 \ud835\uddd6\ud835\uddf9\ud835\uddee\ud835\ude00\ud835\ude00\ud835\uddf6\ud835\uddf0\ud835\uddee\ud835\uddf9 \ud835\udde0\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddf9\ud835\uddfc\ud835\uddf1\ud835\uddf6\ud835\uddf2\ud835\ude00 (@Old_But_Gold50s) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Old_But_Gold50s\/status\/2069072937039106153?\">June 22, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>  What he flagged was the singing.<\/p>\n<p>Not a soloist.

A touring organist who spends his life in cathedrals walks into a small Georgia church and is struck by the children.<\/p>\n<p>Churches that have spent 20 years chasing contemporary music in an attempt to draw young people might notice who showed up for the old tunes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCrown Him with Many Crowns\u201d has lasted because it was built to be sung by a room, not performed by a single person.<\/p>\n<p>Matthew Bridges wrote the original stanzas in 1851. The melody sits where untrained voices can find it. The words are about Christ, not the singer\u2019s feelings. Men, women, and children can all push on the same line, and that is what Fey caught on the recording.<\/p>\n<p>Contemporary worship music often misses the mark in two major ways: theological depth and congregational participation.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the shallowness of many modern lyrics, the songs are often structured for a stage performer and a microphone, which drowns out the congregation and leaves them miming along. Children especially become passive onlookers instead of active singers.<\/p>\n<p>The solution isn\u2019t to ban modern songs, but to look at what just happened in Douglas.<\/p>\n<p>A renowned organist was blown away because a small church community and its children still knew a hymn by heart.<\/p>\n<p>This is not a case of sentimental nostalgia. It is a vivid picture of a congregation doing what corporate worship was designed to do: exalting the Lamb upon the throne.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey == typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts = { \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs = [ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
