I wish I could bring peace to the world. I wish I could provide my wife and each of my children with all they deserve. I wish I could bring to our community a state of the art library facility.

Irrespective of the particular religion, it is almost universally accepted that public singing of at least a portion of the service tends to enhance the entire experience.
