Lead, Kindly Light


 There are times in life when we are lost in the darkness, seeking for a way out.  Often we look above for divine guidance.  Other times we refuse any help, preferring to figure the way out on our own.  Hopefully we all can turn from our pride to humbly ask for help.  Such is the message of this hymn.  Amidst the encircling gloom, when the night is dark, when we're far from home the fervent plea comes, "lead thou me on!"

This arrangement is for trombone trio.

Abide With Me, 'Tis Eventide


This hymn is arranged for piano and french horn.  This has always been a hymn of comfort and consolation for me.  As the darkness falls, we have the abiding, lasting love and support of our Father.
