One of my readers asked if I had an arrangement for “It is Better Farther On”.

I told her I had never heard of this hymn.

She told me it was an old hymn.

So, I did an online search to hear the hymn for myself.

WHAT a pleasant surprise!  I REALLY like this old hymn!

The second and third verse are my favorites.  Verse two goes like this:

When my faith took hold on Jesus, Light divine within me shone.                       

And I know since that glad moment, “It is better farther on”.

I have plunged into the fountain, Flowing free for everyone; 

I am saved and Hope is singing, “It is better farther on.”

I’m providing a FREE simple piano arrangement of this old hymn “It is Better Farther On”. Click on the following link.

I need your help!   Thank you!  🙂

I started writing this arrangement a couple of months ago and then misplaced it!  I just found it this past weekend and was able to finish it today.

It was fun to use a lot of colorful chords for a more majestic sound.

The approximate time of this piece is 1:40.

My Dad, Reece Yandle, wrote this moving song  many years ago.  It’s finally available in print!

I wish I had a recording of him singing this arrangement.

This Patriotic song has a wonderful message….reminding us to love our country and to remember that God gave us America and we need to keep her free!

The beginning of the chorus reminds us to honor our flag

“Lift up the flag of the red, white and blue,

The emblem of courage, the banner of the free!”

This is definitely a “flag waving” song!

Now for a fast paced upbeat arrangement of Heavenly Sunlight!  I love this old hymn which reminds Christians that God will never fail them no matter what is happening in their lives.

I chose to arrange verse one and two for this piece.

Verse One

Walking in sunlight all of my journey, Over the mountains thru the deep vale.

Jesus has said, “I’ll never forsake thee,” Promise divine that never can fail.

Chorus:

Heavenly sunlight, heavenly sunlight, Flooding my soul with glory divine.

Hallelujah! I am rejoicing; Singing His praises Jesus is mine.

Verse Two

Shadows around me, shadows above me

Never conceal my Savior and Guide, He is the light; in Him is no darkness. Ever I’m walking close to His side!

Chorus: (same as above)

Heavenly Sunlight

Advanced sacred piano solo arranged by Jenifer Cook Contains two verses and choruses. Begins in G major and ends in A flat major. A very upbeat rendition of this traditional hymn. See video below.

Did you know that an octave stretch on Chopin’s piano was equivalent to a 7th on our piano?

He didn’t have to stretch as far as us!

Chopin also taught three lessons a week to each student!

Just finished watching this very educational video on “tone color”
