Yeah, this is one of my favorites. Stellar playing and arrangement, too. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Thanks Willie and Bob !
The arrangement is from the book “Fingerpicking Hymns” by Hal Leonard Publ., if you’re interested in learning it. I have to get the guitar soundhole close to my iPad for the best tone, (besides, my mouth goes into goofy contortions when I play new material,,,lol)

I may have to get that book. Doug Young's Hymns for Fingerstyle Guitar is also terrific, and I've learned a lot by using it.

That's beautiful, Chuck... I enjoyed it. It's one of my favorites too. It was sung at my mom's memorial service because she was such a fan of nature and the great outdoors. Hearing that one always means a lot to me.

[chuckv97]

Thank you, Kerbie. Some tunes that are from life’s milestones always get to me too.
Willie, that book I mentioned has fairly easy yet satisfying arrangements ,, probably a lot easier than Doug Young’s. All of Hal Leonard’s fingerpicking series books are like that,,,& inexpensive too. (btw, I have no affiliation with Hal Leonard or Music Dispatch)

I think this is my favorite hymn. Wish I could find the sheet music.
