PREFACE
Hymns Made Easy presents 60 standard hymns
in simplified form. The hymns are written
in two or three parts or voices, rather than
the usual four. Some of the hymns have been
transposed into keys with fewer sharps or
flats to make them easier to read and easier
to play. These hymn arrangements provide
an intermediate step between easier hymn
arrangements in the Keyboard Course manual
and more challenging arrangements in
Hymns: Simplified Accompaniments (80357)
and in the standard hymnbook (31243).
These arrangements are designed not only
to help students develop their skill but
also to accompany hymn singing in Church
meetings. A congregation can sing from
the hymnbooks while the pianist plays
these simplified hymns, despite occasional
differences in harmony and key.
These same 60 hymns, in the same form in
which they appear in the standard hymnbook, are also found in the Selected Hymns
booklet (34160). For this reason, Hymns Made
Easy will be especially useful for accompanying congregations or other groups using the

Selected Hymns booklet. These same 60 hymns

are also recorded on cassettes (52427) and
compact discs (50080). Listening to these
recordings may also be useful to the developing pianist. Both the booklet and recordings
are available through Church distribution
centers.
The hymns in this book include brackets that
suggest a suitable introduction for each hymn.
The suggested fingering may be helpful to
you, but you may also find other fingering
patterns that may be even better for you.
The chord symbols can be used in playing
the hymns on keyboard instruments using
a chording method, or on other chording
instruments such as guitar. A chord chart is
on page 86 for easy reference.
A list of hymns, grouped by degree of difficulty, is on page 87. This list may be helpful
to the less-experienced pianist.
Although titles and verses of hymns in Hymns
Made Easy are in English, these easy-to-play
hymns can be useful in accompanying hymn
singing in any language.

2. For God remembers still

His promise made of old
That he on Zions hill
Truths standard would unfold!
Her light should there attract the gaze
Of all the world in latter days.

2. Come, make an end to sin

And cleanse the earth by fire,
And righteousness bring in,
That Saints may tune the lyre
With songs of joy, a happier strain,
To welcome in thy peaceful reign.

Thrice welcome to thy throne!
While all the chosen race

The heathen nations bow the knee,
And evry tongue sounds praise to thee.

2. The Lord is extending the Saints understanding, 3. Well call in our solemn assemblies in spirit,
Restoring their judges and all as at first.
To spread forth the kingdom of heaven abroad,
The knowledge and power of God are expanding;
That we through our faith may begin to inherit
The veil oer the earth is beginning to burst.
The visions and blessings and glories of God.

LDS hymnbook, 1835. Sung at the Kirkland Temple dedication in 1836.

2. Well love one another and never dissemble,

But cease to do evil and ever be one.
And when the ungodly are fearing and tremble,
Well watch for the day when the Savior will come,
When all that was promised the Saints will be given,
And none will molest them from morn until evn,
And earth will appear as the Garden of Eden,
And Jesus will say to all Israel, Come home.

3. In faith well rely on the arm of Jehovah

To guide thru these last days of trouble and gloom,
And after the scourges and harvest are over,
Well rise with the just when the Savior doth come.
Then all that was promised the Saints will be given,
And they will be crownd with the angels of heavn,
And earth will appear as the Garden of Eden,
And Christ and his people will ever be one.

Twas the boys first uttered prayer
When the powrs of sin assailing
Filled his soul with deep despair;
But undaunted, still he trusted
In his Heavnly Fathers care,

In his Heavnly Fathers care.

Hear him! Oh, how sweet the word!

And he listened to the Lord.

For he saw the living God;

For he saw the living God.

3. Well sing of his goodness and mercy.
Well praise him by day and by night,
Rejoice in his glorious gospel,
And bask in its life-giving light.
Thus on to eternal perfection
The honest and faithful will go,
While they who reject this glad message
Shall never such happiness know.

2. When dark clouds of trouble hang oer us

And threaten our peace to destroy,
There is hope smiling brightly before us,
And we know that delivrance is nigh.
We doubt not the Lord nor his goodness.
Weve proved him in days that are past.
The wicked who fight against Zion
Will surely be smitten at last.

And soon well have this tale to tell

Far away in the West,

Above the rest these words well tell
All is well! All is well!

4. And should we die before our journeys through,

Happy day! All is well!
We then are free from toil and sorrow, too;
With the just we shall dwell!
But if our lives are spared again
To see the Saints their rest obtain,
Oh, how well make this chorus swell
All is well! All is well!

4. So amid the conflict, whether great or small,
3. When you look at others with their lands and gold,
2. Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Do not be discouraged; God is over all.
Think that Christ has promised you his wealth untold.
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings; angels will attend,
Count your many blessings; money cannot buy
Count your many blessings; evry doubt will fly,
Help and comfort give you to your journeys end.
Your reward in heaven nor your home on high.
And you will be singing as the days go by.

4. When I leave this frail existence,
When I lay this mortal by,
Father, Mother, may I meet you
In your royal courts on high?
Then, at length, when Ive completed
All you sent me forth to do,
With your mutual approbation
Let me come and dwell with you.

3. I had learned to call thee Father,

Thru thy Spirit from on high,
But, until the key of knowledge
Was restored, I knew not why.
In the heavns are parents single?
No, the thought makes reason stare!
Truth is reason; truth eternal
Tells me Ive a mother there.

2. For a wise and glorious purpose

Thou hast placed me here on earth
And withheld the recollection
Of my former friends and birth;
Yet ofttimes a secret something
Whispered, Youre a stranger here,
And I felt that I had wandered
From a more exalted sphere.

4. I am a child of God.
His promises are sure;
Celestial glory shall be mine
If I can but endure.

3. I am a child of God.
Rich blessings are in store;
If I but learn to do his will
Ill live with him once more.

2. I am a child of God,
And so my needs are great;
Help me to understand his words
Before it grows too late.
