An effective way to enhance your scriptural study is to place hymns as a part of your learning. Elder Jeffrey R. Holland used this most recently in his April 2017 conference message, for example:
We then take courage from His ability to hear our silence and take hope from His melodious messianic intercession in our behalf. Truly it is “when the Lord is near” that “the dove of peace sings in my heart [and] the flow’rs of grace appear.” (Sunshine In My Soul, 227- LDS Hymnal)
Doctrine and Covenants 38:4
My take:
As we travel through our life's path, we are not alone- he will..."lead thou me on" forward to "the distant scene, one step for me" with his and his "angel faces smile(ing)" on me. (Lead Kindly Light, 97- LDS Hymnal)
Psalm 43:3
Elder Boyd K. Packer stated when bad thoughts come into our mind sing a hymn. It has always been helpful to me.
