The second verse of the hymn "How great thou art":

And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;

And hear the brook, and feel the gentle breeze

Although my father died 25 years ago I still cannot sing this verse as I get a lump in my throat. It brings back so many memories.

My Nan had How Great Thou Art played at her funeral about 25 years ago, so has always struck a chord with me.
About a month after the funeral we attended a friends wedding. I didn't know it was used as a wedding hymn aswell, so a few people in the congregation turned around to wonder what all this sniffling was from the back of the church.
