"Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow"


Because this is a doxology, I went through it only once.  Also, this is the last tune in the book, so now I've completed this project.

Registration:
Upper:  42 8875 543
Lower:  00 5645 322
Pedal:  44

Played with the "mellow" drawbar organ sound on my Hammond SKX, with the Hammond XPK-130G pedals

"Be Present at Our Table, Lord"

The second line of "Be Present at Our Table, Lord" is "Be here and ev'rywhere adored," sung to this phrase from the tune "Old Hundredth":


The three syllables of "ev'rywhere" are each sung to a different pitch (A G C), musically giving a sense of breadth.

"Praise God, from Whom All Blessings Flow"

While watching a Worship for Shut-Ins program many months ago, I noticed a small thing about "Praise God, from Whom All Blessings Flow" (sung to the tune "Old Hundredth").  The second line is "Praise Him, all creatures here below," and the "here below" part is sung to a descending melody:


It's only a few notes, but it gives a musical sense of the "below."

"Old Hundredth" (TLH #13)


I was familiar with this tune (although I'm not particularly keen on it), so this was relatively easy to do.  The tune's supposed to start on the third beat, but I started on the first, which caused a problem at the end: I made the last half note into a whole note.

I already know that I'm going to skip #14 next week because it's the same arrangement of this tune.
