For a recent family gathering I created a quiz about our childhood household, including identification of hymns from isolated phrases. They were puzzled by four words "in this glad hour" but when I sang the four accompanying notes, immediately from our group of nine came the harmonious tenor, bass, soprano, alto voices singing the entire hymn, "Come Thou Almighty King" - from memory, finding the words and melody like stepping over stones in a clear running brook, picking our way through the years.
Beautiful.
