Here is an arrangement of a precious, endearing hymn from Church Works Media, reminding us how God beckons each of us to come to Him without reserve. Four stanzas are included in this arrangement, the piano accompanying the congregation on the first stanza, and the instruments joining on the 2nd. For variety, a quick key change is added before the third stanza, and then a “pseudo” key change is written before the final/fourth stanza (instruments included) to help build the climax. Concert keys for this are offered in C for the first 2 stanzas and D-flat for the third and final stanza. Your congregation will truly enjoy singing the truths of this hymn. Includes a full score, a piano score, and all individual instrumental parts: treble clef C instrument, treble clef B-flat instrument, horn, and bass clef instrument.
Real Responses from Congregations
Molly plays for the church my mother-in-law attends. The congregation becomes like a big choir with her arrangements. I’ve enjoyed the music when we’ve visited!
The beautiful accompaniment and the unison congregation could be used both congregationally and chorally (as we did)… For small to medium-sized choirs on low attendance Sundays these could be effective choral pieces or as a way to develop choir and orchestra when (as is our case) some choir members are also instrumentalists. We used three pieces as part of our Easter celebration. All were very well received. We were able to include our developing orchestra with all of it. So, thank you!
We love using these arrangements at Valley Community Baptist Church in our worship setting, regardless if we are using just piano and organ on a particular Sunday, or our full orchestra with choir and congregation. As the organist, the conductors score offers a great organ score option as an asset for churches using organ with these settings without revamping the piano score, making it quite easy… Thank you, Molly!
Molly’s congregational accompaniments add a freshness to treasured hymns of the past that enables a cross-generational congregation to join together in passionate worship of a great God.
