Advanced Sacred Piano Arrangement
Special note to my readers: This advanced sacred piano solo of The Haven of Rest & Wonderful Peace is available in our music store. (It was available for a short time after publication but now for sale in our music store.)
Last week, a church pianist friend of mine who I met through my website was asking if I would write another advanced devotional piano solo. She couldn’t have asked at a better time since I was wanting to start a new advanced piano arrangement.
I began thinking about The Haven of Rest and tried to think of a song that would go with it. The chorus of “Wonderful Peace” just seemed to flow in thought and rhythm at the end of Haven of Rest chorus.
What a blessing to know as a Christian that…”I’ve anchored my soul in the haven of rest” and now I have “Peace, peace, wonderful peace…coming down from the Father above…”
The Haven of Rest was written (unsurprisingly) by an Irish sailor, Henry Gilmour, who came to America at an early age. (more on Henry’s life)

Jenifer thank you so much for yet another beautiful piece of music you have arranged. The descending run will take a bit of work for me, however, your personable website engenders confidence. I also receive lots of compliments when I play your music most Sabbaths.

Jenifer, could you tell me ;what fingering you use on the arpeggio at the top of page 3 after the word ‘above’? Many thanks.
Hi Jeanette,
I actually caught an error in the run and have since corrected it and added fingering to the run and will email you an updated copy 🙂 Sorry for mistake.
Many thanks for doing this for me – I will be looking out for it.

Did you find “Haven of Rest”? I’m just now seeing this. Not sure why this comment didn’t show earlier….or did I acknowledge it?
Sorry for the oversight but messages left on my comment threads do not always show right away. It’s best to email me directly at jenifer@thechurchpianist.com
Let me know if you still need this and I can email you the arrangement.
