Church Pianist: Humorous Story
Tuesday, April 3rd, 2018
Having so many hymns in my memory bank has its advantages as well as its disadvantages…
Ever realized the similarities in the hymns “Face to Face” and “He the Pearly Gates Will Open”? Some of you may have never heard of the last hymn mentioned. Maybe it’s a good thing 😉
Years ago, I accompanied our song leader singing a solo of “Face to Face”. I started off playing the correct melody on the verse but somehow transitioned into the chorus of “He the Pearly Gates Will Open”. Our song leader went right along with the flow!
I didn’t realize what I had done until he brought it to my attention after the service.
Notice the similarities between these two hymns..especially both choruses.
