Product Description
Here is the full piano vocal sheet music for "When My Love to Christ Grows Weak", as heard on my YouTube channel with all the other classic, beautiful hymns from the Lent collection. The lyrics are from a traditional hymn but I've written new music for it in a minor key to match the sombre mood. This piece is a perfect song for either a moving, beautiful solo during a church service or for a congregation to sing along with, led by a singer who has heard the recording and knows the song. This rare hymn is wonderful for Ash Wednesday or any time during the Lenten Season or even Good Friday, contemplating Christ's betrayal by Peter and all who give in to sin. Although it is very solemn and touches on many points about our need for repentance and Christ's suffering, it ends on an uplifting note and leads us on to stronger faith in Him.
This pdf includes each vocal part and piano accompaniment separately as well, to save you a good amount of space on the music stand.
This song has a vocal range of D4-E5 and there is also a full backup track in the original key, sheet music in the original key, and one for low voice available by searching "Stacey Plays Hymns" and the title on this site. I also offer the backup accompaniment track here, with all the choral vocal harmonies, for anyone who wishes to perform it as a soloist.
Purchase includes a free license for one church service with under 300 people, with proper attribution and credit in any printed or online materials. For a license to use this work on a larger scale, please contact me for permission and other usage details including lyrics formatted for printing in church bulletins or for powerpoint. Please let me know if there is any other way I can serve you as a congregation or fellow music/choir director as I endeavour to write several new choral anthems per year, along with my other recording work.
