At the beginning of your upkeep, you may put a verse counter on Serra's Hymn.
Sacrifice Serra's Hymn: Prevent the next X damage that would be dealt this turn to any number of targets, divided as you choose, where X is the number of verse counters on Serra's Hymn.

You count the number of counters, then divide up the prevention during the announcement of the ability. Each targeted creature receives the appropriate amount of damage prevention when the ability resolves.

If there is at least one verse counter on this, you can’t choose zero targets. You must choose between 1 and X targets.

You can activate the ability (choosing no targets) even if there are no verse counters on it. It doesn’t do anything useful if you do this.

Adding a counter is optional. If you forget to add one during your upkeep, you cannot back up and add one later.
