Composer: Derek K. Hakes
AGEHR Level: III-
Description: The composer has combined two beloved hymns, What a
Friend We Have in Jesus and ‘Tis So Sweet to Trust in
Jesus, to create a lovely, sensitive composition. Opening
with ‘Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus, the melody is
enhanced by a gentle, flowing accompaniment. The piece
moves into the second hymn, with the melody presented on
handchimes, accompanied by the handbells, before
returning to the original hymn, presented with full chords
and a rich running eighth note bass pattern.
