After being captivated by The Tabernacle Choir’s inspiring performance based on the hymn tune Samanthra (arr. Mack Wilberg), I set to work to transform the simple, yet haunting, melody into an arrangement for piano solo that embraces the minor key as a quiet, meditative contemplation of praise.  5 pages. Intermediate level. Performance time: approximately 4:00. Included in the “It Is Well” songbook. Early intermediate arrangement also available.

Lyrics:

His voice, as the sound of the dulcimer sweet
Is heard through the shadows of death
The cedars of Lebanon bow at His feet
The air is perfumed with His breath
His lips as the fountain of righteousness flow
That waters the garden of grace
From which their salvation the Gentiles shall know
And bask in the smile of His face

Love sits in his eyelids and scatters delight
Through all the bright regions on high
Their faces the cherubim veil in his sight
And tremble with fullness of joy
He looks and ten thousands of angels rejoice
And myriads wait for His word
He speaks and eternity filled with His voice
Re-echoes the praise of the Lord

He looks and ten thousands of angels rejoice
And myriads wait for His word
He speaks and eternity filled with His voice
Re-echoes the praise of the Lord

Re-echoes the praise of the Lord
