CCLI #: 6225135
Verse: Revalation 5:12
Ideas:
I've added an optional underscore and Scripture narration to the beginning (the narration is a separate download.) If you don't want to use the underscore, simply start at measure 9. For simplicity's sake I haven't included the underscore with the multitracks but have a stereo track versions with and without the underscore.

BGVs: I've arranged When Morning Guilds for a worship leader with BGVs (background vocals.) The worship leader carries the song and should use the lead sheet. The BGV parts echo and complement the worship leader but don't stand on their own. Both the 3 part vocals and SAB parts are BGVs but the SATB has the full melody.

Updated lyrics: I've updated a few lyrics to make them more modern and understandable. For instance, I've changed "my canticle divine" to "my melody divine." If you want to sing about canticles, no problem - just use the lyrics from your hymnal 🙂 I'll only change lyrics to hymns that are not as well known like this one.

Use When Morning Guilds as an upbeat opener to your praise set.

Follow it with these songs in Bb:

Everlasting God / Brown
Your Love Never Fails / Skinner, McClarney
Indescribable / Reeves, Story

The lead vocal is sung by worship leader Kirk Kirkland, son of the orchestrator Camp Kirkland.

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.
