He Hideth My Soul

from Simple Toil by Tim Koehn

about

My arrangement of this old hymn--written in 1890, lyrics by blind poet and prolific hymn-writer Frances Jane Crosby, and music by teacher/musician William J. Kirkpatrick who composed the tune to "Away in a Manger", to name just one of his popular tunes--is a tribute to four things:
1. My family's Mennonite hymn-singing heritage
2. Theodore Parker's "A Discourse of the Transient and the Permanent in Christianity" (1841)
3. Jesus and people like him (the "Galilean youth", as Parker calls him, who "told what he saw — the truth...and lived what he felt — a life of love." And as we have learned so many times, society tends to kill people who tell the truth and live out the fullness of their convictions.)
4. My friend Ross Bradley's trumpet skills
