More about this title

About the Creator: Washington Gladden

Washington Gladden (1836-1918) was a Congregationalist minister and prolific hymn writer whose work shaped American Protestant worship for decades. His texts combined accessible language with genuine theological depth, making spiritual concepts available to ordinary worshippers rather than reserving them for scholars and clergy.

Why we love this

E-Z Play Today arrangements strip away complexity without sacrificing the hymn's emotional core, making it genuinely playable for pianists building confidence with chord-based voicings. The single-page format works perfectly for worship services, community sing-alongs, or young students learning to accompany congregational singing.

What to expect

The hymn carries quiet conviction, a personal prayer set to melody rather than a proclamation from on high. Its character is meditative yet grounded, inviting singers into genuine conversation with faith rather than demanding emotional display.

Who it's for

Pianists with basic harmonic literacy who lead or accompany church services, music students exploring hymn traditions, and anyone seeking an entry point into playing spirituals and sacred songs. This works equally well for solo reflection or congregational support.

How to get the most out of it

  • Let the left hand establish a steady harmonic foundation rather than rushing through chord changes; this supports any singers you're accompanying.
  • Shape phrases by releasing slightly at natural cadence points, allowing space for breath and reflection.
  • Keep the tempo unhurried and conversational; this is a text meant for contemplation, not processional energy.

How to use it

Slot this into a service focused on discipleship, stewardship, or spiritual walking; it pairs naturally with liturgical moments calling for introspection. The brevity and accessibility also make it an ideal choice for opening an all-church hymn sing or training session for volunteer pianists.

Skills your students will build

  • Accompanying singers while reading lead-sheet style chord symbols
  • Balancing melody support with harmonic texture on single keyboard
  • Phrasing sacred text naturally across sung and instrumental lines
