In observance of Lent, here are six piano arrangements – one for each week of Lent – with a bit of their original hymn texts.
May you have a blessed Lenten season filled with spiritual growth and meaningful music.
Be Thou My Vision
Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
naught be all else to me, save that thou art –
thou my best thought, by day or by night;
waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.
Bless Now, O God, the Journey
Alternate hymn title: O God of Earth and Altar
Bless now, O God, the journey that all your people make,
the path through noise and silence, the way of give and take.
Come, O Thou Traveler Unknown (Wrestling Jacob)
Come, O thou Traveler unknown whom still I hold but cannot see,
My company before is gone and I am left alone with thee,
With thee all night I mean to stay and wrestle till the break of day.
O God Beyond All Praising
O God beyond all praising, we worship you today
and sing the love amazing that songs cannot repay.
The King of Love My Shepherd Is
The King of love my shepherd is,
whose goodness faileth never.
I nothing lack if I am his,
and he is mine forever.
The Summons (Will You Come and Follow Me)
Will you come and follow me, if I but call your name?
Will you go where you don’t know and never be the same?
