I just love bold hymns and this is one I’ve wanted to do a choral arrangement for a long time now. I felt like I chose to write this song at a good time because it was one of those songs I just sat down and wrote it all out within a little over a week. I never had any “stumped” moments, which was so nice!
I wrote a piano solo for this song (below) as well. I recorded myself playing that. It is almost the same as the choir version so you can get a feel for the song.

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty (PDF)–for choir members
As I said above, I took my choir version and made a piano solo out of it. Because I wanted it to sound a lot like the choir piece, it isn’t my best piano arrangement. I promise you will love the transitions though, I get addicted to playing them!

I live in the Menan, Idaho, 2nd ward, just a few miles north of Idaho Falls. I am the ward choir director and we sang your arrangement of this hymn (Praise to the Lord, the Almighty) in our sacrament meeting today. It was beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your talents through the public domain.
I’m glad it turned out well!
This is such a pretty arrangement.
Thank you! This is one of my favorites to play 🙂
Do you have this sheet in musz? is to do a orgue arreguemet with this. thank you so much, i from spain
The sheet music is listed here on the page. Just click the title of the song in the middle of the post.
I found your piano solo of this hymn a few years ago on SacredSheetMusic.org and fell in love with it. I am playing it on Easter Sunday this year, and I love that it is a jubilant counterpoint to the other beautiful, but slower, songs we have on our Easter program this year. Thank you for this arrangement. It has been so fun for me to play. I love a bold musical number where I can really pound the keys in praise of the Lord!
I love that! Yes, I love the upbeat songs as well and they don’t seem to be done quite as often.
