I think this is one of the most beautiful hymns ever written and this is one of the most beautiful intrumental renditions of it I have ever heard. Thanks for posting the video AND the meaningful lyrics!

[creativeplanetjanet]

Thank you! I just love the old traditional hymns and am glad when anybody makes a great contribution like this to keep them alive. Keep up the good work. I really appreciate you taking the time to learn and practice and post this on YouTube.

[Blycker]

Nicely done, bro. I'm working on this very arrangement right now! It's encouraging to see somebody else conquer it. :D  The first tune I learned from that book was 'The Old Rugged Cross'. What a challenge. Great fun, though. Keep up the good work.

[walantrophy]

@Blycker thanks alot for your comment.Twas very challenging for me bro but all glory to God who aided learning. Am sure u can play it too. The old rugged cross will be my next.Thanks again for ur comment.

[daniel131131]

Love the arrangement. I have to learn that one; I think I tried playing it in another key and it didn't sound good. I really like the bass lines, and the chords fit perfectly. Good job; keep playing.

[johnny102marvin]

Very good. You are using the same style as Chet Atkins. I like the extended chords that you throw in, and your bass runs (passing tones) sound good too.

[walantrophy]
