New Piano Hymn Arrangement: “Under His Wings”

Friday, February 16th, 2024

“Under His Wings” ….a hymn of great comfort!  The lyrics were written by William O. Cushing.

William was a pastor in New York during the mid 1800’s.  His wife died after twenty four years of marriage.

Shortly after his wife’s death…he developed “creeping paralysis” which prevented him from using his voice to preach.

William pleaded with the Lord to give him some other way to minister.

God did just that.  William wrote over 300 hymns.  “Under His Wings” was a result of William going through hard times.

William may have based this hymn from the following Bible verse.

Psalm 17:8   “Hide me under the shadow of your wings.”

Easy-Piano-Christmas Congregationals-Late-Elementary

Tuesday, November 21st, 2023

Last year, I wrote out the following arrangements for my late elementary to early intermediate student who covered for me while I was out of town on a Sunday.

I created arrangements that would be easy for my student to learn in time to play. The student I’m speaking about is our Pastor’s daughter.  She is now a true early intermediate and enjoys taking part in our music ministry.   I’m excited with her progress!   Would love to share what all she’s been doing  but will save that for her interview after Thanksgiving.

Each of these arrangements include an introduction.  The songs are also in a lower key for the benefit of our congregation.  Our congregation sings out SO much more when we lower the hymns. These arrangements can be used for piano solos or congregational singing!
