Farther On
Hymn Music from the ShapeNote Tradition
Farther On hymn music is one of the sweetest songs for a memorial service or funeral that you will ever find.
Full of hope and promise, the melody and harmony are lovely and stirring.
Offered here is a new piano arrangement, in the keys of D, Eb, F, and G.
Please scroll down the page for the links to the free downloadable PDFs.
Here is a closeup of page one, in the key of F:
Such beautiful words of hope are spoken in this song:
"As we travel through the desert, storms beset us by the way,
But beyond the river Jordan lies a field of endless day."
The chorus encourages believers to persevere, knowing God said, "I will never leave you, nor will I ever forsake you." Joshua 1:5, Hebrews 13:5.
"Farther on, still go farther! Count the milestones one by one;
Jesus will forsake you never. It is better farther on."
Here is a closeup of the bottom of page one:
And here is what the top of page two looks like, in the key of Eb.
The long broken chord at the end of each chorus also serves as a rhythmic inducement for a congregation to jump back into the beginning of the next verse.
You know how sometimes a hymn or worship chorus fails to supply a strong signal to the congregation? I hope that will not be the case with this arrangement.
