A nice hymn that focuses on praising God for His saving grace!

Give Him glory, all ye people, For His blood can wash away each stain!”
Advanced sacred piano solo, 4 & 1/2 pages. Uses keys: F, G and A flat
A nice piece for thanksgiving or any time of the year.

I’m pleased to announce that Maddie, the one-hand inspiring church pianist, has agreed to an interview.
Maddie hopes to encourage others by sharing her life as a pianist in general. She is also the pianist at her church!
I look forward to sharing her interview sometime during the month of November.
You will also get to meet Maddie’s teacher as we get to know Maddie.
Thank you Maddie for being willing to encourage pianists around the world!
I will be announcing the date of the video publication asap!

Awhile ago, one of my readers asked if I had a congregational arrangement for “A Might Fortress is Our God.”
I didn’t at the time but decided to tackle it this week. This particular arrangement is for the late intermediate church pianist.
What a challenge to stay within the written chords from the hymnal! Maybe I need to come up with a piano solo for this hymn too.
Important Notice!
This arrangement was created for congregational style only. If you insert the melody in measures #16 and #20…it can be used for a piano solo.
Print your own copy for free and then listen to the audio while you’re holding the music!

Be on the look out for a free sacred congregational piano arrangement!
I’ll give you a couple hints:
1. I’ve NEVER arranged this hymn before.
2. It’s a very stately old hymn that speaks of God’s protection
