For the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, which I'm almost sure this is, the congregation sings along to most, if not all of the organ music. I've been the organist for many congregations and I think this is awesome. I'd love to record myself playing something, or put together a MIDI instead of having to stumble through some of my lesser-known hymns |

I enjoyed the demo and I appreciate how the hymn is played: with a few bars of intro first, before the singing proper would begin. This is a very helpful aid to congregational singing, to cue everyone in on the key, tempo, and melody being used. Traditionally, it has not been uncommon for congregations to sing in four-part harmony, perhaps aided by hymnals with real music notation, or sometimes, people know how to improvise a harmony in their own range.
