Ideas:

My Faith Looks Up to Thee is a brand new arrangement of a hymn I’ve never worked on before. I’ve created it in the classic HymnCharts blended style.

The lyrics were written by Ray Palmer, a pastor and hymn writer, in 1830.

The music was composed by the “father of American church music” Lowell Mason.

Palmer felt his hymn was successful since it “embodied, in appropriate and simple language that which is most central in all true Christian experience—the act of faith in the divine Redeemer—the entrusting of the individual soul to Him entirely and for ever.”

After completing the hymn Mason told Palmer “You may live many years and do many good things, but I think you will be best known to posterity as the author of My Faith Looks Up to Thee.”

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.
