This revival hymn has been delightfully reimagined in a ragtime style by arranger Pamela M. Robertson. Clocking in at about 2 minutes, the arrangement fits perfectly as a prelude or postlude in worship services. The treatment blends lively syncopation and period-appropriate charm with reverent melodic integrity, offering congregational familiarity wrapped in a fresh, spirited texture.
Difficulty: Early-advanced Performance notes:
Attention to rhythmic precision and light, articulated phrasing will bring out the ragtime character without sacrificing the hymn’s devotional quality.
Maintain a steady pulse in the left hand while allowing the right hand to play with subtle rubato and playful accents where appropriate.
Tempo suggestion: brisk, but not rushed—aim for clarity and joyous expression.
Suggested uses:
Prelude or postlude in worship services
Short offertory or transition piece
Special music showcasing an advanced pianist comfortable with syncopation
Duration: Approximately 2:00
Arrangement by Pamela M. Robertson. Published for solo piano.
