O God, Our Help In Ages Past (With New Chorus)

Here’s my latest song, which is also an old song, “O God, Our Help In Ages Past”. I added a new chorus. Usually I hate when people add new choruses to old hymns but in working with the theme for our upcoming service it seemed appropriate. I really feel like this one works with the song arrangement as a helpful chorus to Isaac Watts verses. I’d love to know what you think. If you like the arrangement there are free lead sheets here on my web site at RickLeeJames.com/FreeSheetMusic
Blessings,
Rick Lee James
