HYMN OF THE ISSUE
CCS 237 God, Renew Us by Your Spirit
The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion was published in 1835 by William Walker. This book used various shapes for the noteheads (see below). The shapes helped people in American singing schools learn to sing the musical scale: do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti, do. Notice that the noteheads for “do” use a square, the noteheads for “mi” use a triangle, etc.
Music from this style has a different sound from what we are used to today. It sounds much more “modal.” You can hear some songs from this
tradition at http://youtu.be/DrlNN7ftYpk
There were many anonymous folk melodies among the 335 songs in The Southern Harmony. The hymn tune RESTORATION is one of those. It is also known by the name ARISE when it is set with a text about the prodigal son. The hymn tune is pentatonic, which means it only uses five notes of the scale. You can sing the hymn in unison (everyone together) in a two-part canon (round), with the second part coming in after one measure.
In Community of Christ Sings, this tune is matched with words by John Dalles from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Born in 1954, Dalles has served for many years as a pastor and worship leader. He published a resource on end-of-life issues and wrote hymn texts found in many contemporary hymnals.
This text is found in the “Healing and Wholeness” section of our hymnal, but it would also work well for Communion services, services of commitment and dedication, renewal, and many other categories. It is a good illustration of the fact that while each hymn text could be placed in only one category for the hymnal, reading the text can allow us to see many other possibilities for its use.

3. Consider thicker paper If your printouts flop off your piano stand, consider printing on thicker paper. Instead of 20 lb (75 g/m2) paper try 24 lb (90 g/m2) or 28 lb (105 g/m2) paper. Another trick to prevent thin paper from flopping off the piano is to hole-punch it and put it in a binder.

Piano Club’s Mission To inspire and help train congregational pianists so they can serve as worship leaders at the keyboard. The club arrangements meet the needs of pianists of any age and skill.
Piano Club’s Vision We dream of a day when the church is blessed with plenty of musicians to play and sing for services and social gatherings. They are of all ages and are willing and eager to serve; they are musically competent and knowledgeable and technically skilled. Thus they are able to help lead the people in worship of our God.
