Info:
Words: Joseph Gilmore
Music: William Bradbury
Key: C major
Time Sig: 4/4
Tempo: 94 | mid tempo
Tune: HE LEADETH ME
Meter: L.M. with refrain
CCLI #: 5253531
Verse: Exodus 15:13
Ideas:
I originally arranged He Leadeth Me in D major but now that I'm going back and recording the older hymns (and updating parts) I think it really should be in C. The demo was recorded in D major but the sheet music is in C. I've arranged the vocal parts to be more comfortably sung in C, but the typical high tenor worship leader will prefer D.

Try using this mid-tempo arrangement in the middle or end of your praise set. The intro is designed as a vamp on a C/D chord to segue out of a praise song in C like Come Now if the Time to Worship or D or G like Open the Eyes of My Heart, Let It Rise or Beautiful One.

Music director Gary Griffith suggests: "Used this as offertory in C and flowed into He is Able from Word's "Songs for Praise and Worship" and went into PraiseCharts' Shout to the North in G. We hadn't sang these songs in several years, but our folks sang from their hearts and the guitarists and drummer made "He Leadeth Me" come alive with the help of our four horn players. We took the song faster than your demo, and it worked so well. Thanks for the wonderful music at HymnCharts!"

The modern worship lyrics trend for projection is to leave out most punctuation for a clean look. The original hymncharts lyrics text file contains punctuation. Our website hymndex.com was created to help churches build hymn lyric slides without punctuation.

Instruments mp3s are the arrangements played one time through with just piano and instrumental parts to give you an idea of the orchestration. In the early days of hymncharts before I made vocal recordings I had created these instruments mp3s as a quick demo. Since I now create both a POP and an ORC (orchestrated) mix I no longer make instrumental mp3s for newer arrangements.
MP3 Problems?
Several subscribers have had problems downloading MP3s. Here are the 2 most typical problems and solutions:

1. How do I download the MP3s? MP3s and (if available) multitrack WAV downloads are found under the "tracks" tab. You can download these MP3s (or any files) to your computer by RIGHT clicking the button, then a little box will pop up with options. Select something like "save as"or "save link as" to manually save the MP3s to your computer where you can then burn a CD, email it to your praise team or upload it to a worship planning website.

2. The MP3 won't play in iTunes (or other media player.) All HymnCharts MP3s are free from ALL copy protection and can be used any way you want. Some people are clicking the MP3 button dragging it to iTunes or another media player. This won't work (you're actually just dragging the image file of the button!) Download the MP3 using the instructions above, then you can access it through your media player.
