How Loud Do You Sing Hymns At A Wedding Or A Funeral?

Yesterday, I went to a funeral at a crematorium and there weren’t many mourners.
The music started to play for, ‘All Things Bright And Beautiful’ and l felt l would sing louder than usual to help make up for the lack of mourners!

I always notice in a congregation that some sing, very loud and others come in the categories below. So.....

Do you sing your head off as loud as could be?

Do you sing beautifully, at a normal pitch?

Do you mumble the words because you’re not a very good singer, or you can’t see the words because you’ve left your glasses in the car!

Or do you just mime because you don’t like singing and really it doesn’t matter, as a recorded hymn sung by a choir is being played.

No way it's taken years to train my exquisite bravado.

I don't belong to any religious faith so I don't do hymns at all.
