A pair of strangers came together for an impromptu musical performance at a Texas hospital and have become viral sensations.

Pastor Mark Willhoite and his wife Sherry were at Houston Methodist San Jacinto Hospital Aug. 18 to minister to patients, according to KTRK. While Mark Willhoite was performing a song on the hospital's piano, a stranger, Vera Swain, set down and began to accompany him.

The results were magical.

Sherry Willhoite posted the video on Facebook, where it quickly went viral and has been viewed over four million times.

Swain said she was delayed in getting to her destination by an hour, but it was worth it.
