More about this title

About the Artist: Frederick William Faber

Frederick William Faber (1814-1863) was an English hymn writer and theologian whose texts shaped congregational singing across denominations. Converting to Catholicism later in life, he brought both scholarly depth and pastoral warmth to his work, believing that memorable melodies paired with accessible language could deepen faith. His hymns remain standards in Christian worship worldwide, valued for their emotional directness and theological substance.

Why we love this

This ukulele arrangement brings a beloved hymn into an intimate, portable format that invites participation without requiring formal training. The single-page layout makes it accessible for casual playing in worship settings, small groups, or individual devotion, while the ukulele's warm tone honors the hymn's earnest character.

What to expect

Sturdy and grounded, with a quietly confident character that doesn't demand virtuosity but rewards intentional playing. The arrangement honors the hymn's directness while letting the ukulele's natural resonance add warmth to a text about conviction and endurance.

Who it's for

Ukulele players seeking repertoire with spiritual substance, worship leaders looking for flexible accompaniment options, and music educators introducing students to hymn arrangements. It works equally well for solo reflection and group participation.

How to get the most out of it

  • Play with a steady, unhurried tempo to let the melody's contour breathe and allow singers to follow naturally.
  • Balance accompaniment lightly; the harmonic support should frame rather than overshadow the tune.
  • Focus on clear articulation of lyrical moments where the text carries particular weight or conviction.

How to use it

Place this in a worship service as a reflective offertory or closing hymn, where a single ukulele accompaniment creates intimacy without the formality of fuller instrumentation. It also serves well in small group settings, community gatherings, or as a learning piece for ukulele students exploring sacred music.

Skills your students will build
