Christian, when you are in trouble, sing; you do not know who is near you.  Sing, perhaps you will get a companion by it.  Sing! perhaps there will be many a heart cheered by your song. There is some broken spirit, it may be, that will be bound up by your sonnets.  Sing! there is some poor distressed brother, perhaps, shut up in the Castle of Despair, who, like King Richard, will hear your song inside the walls, and sing to you again, and you may be the means of getting him a ransom.  Sing, Christian, wherever you go…

— C. H. Spurgeon (1834 – 1892)
