"God Leads His Dear Children Along..."

Sometimes a beautiful choral arrangement comes along that just hits you.  If it were gymnastics, you would say it "stuck the landing."  Baseball, it's a home run.  You get the point.

Such is this arrangement of the old hymn by George A. Young, "God Leads Us Along", arranged by Jay Rouse from his "Piano Series."

The choir does such a wonderful job with this. It's one of those where you are just sure there are more than 13 of them!

The words of this song are amazing, particularly the refrain section:

"Some through the waters,
Some through the flood;
Some through the fire,
But all through the blood.

Some through great sorrow,
But God gives a song;
In the night season
And all the day long."

Listen to the choir present this great piece and enjoy the range of emotions the text and the arrangement provide.
