#120 "Lean on My Ample Arm"

Believe it or not, this is another hymn that I first sang in the old Monterey Park Ward choir--back in the early 1970's.  (We must have sung all of the songs in the portion of the hymnbook designated for choir.)  I had a very difficult time playing this hymn because of the accidentals.  I remember learning the alto in the choir and having a hard time with the harmony.  I don't think I've sung this song since sometime before 1977, when I left my old ward to head out to BYU.  I doubt there are very many wards in the world who sing this song.  It's one of those that has a nice message, but is just too difficult to sing and play for the average congregation.
