By Rita Arendz. Composed by Philip Bliss. Arranged by Rita Arendz. 19th Century,Christian,Praise & Worship,Sacred. 21 pages. Rita Arendz #1044288. Published by Rita Arendz (A0.1465676).
For over 150 years, this song, a testament to the enduring power of music, has not only been a significant part of Philip Paul Bliss's repertoire but has also endeared many to Christian Fellowship, creating a shared history and connection among its listeners. Hymnist Horatio Gates Spafford wrote the text after three traumatic events. The first was the passing of his four-year-old son of Scarlet Fever in 1870 - the following year, the Great Chicago Fire (1871), which led to financial ruin. The third was the sinking of the SS Ville du Havre (1873), on which his four daughters lost their lives; his wife survived. This setting portrays life's unexpected challenges and joys. Its peaceful yet sombre tonality is maintained while flowing between the predominantly Major key and a Dominant 7th on its Minor 6th. Written in the key of Bb Major, it is in a comfortable key, and instrumental leads and harmonies differ for each verse and chorus. Instrumentation is for British Brass Band instruments of Cornet, Eb Tenor Horn, Baritone, and Eb Bass. F Horn and Bass Clef parts for Baritone and Eb Bass are included.
