This is Frank Andersen‘s “Trinity Song”, but the first line rules in this hymnal. Father Frank is a beloved Australian composer of songs for the Mass.
The sheet music for this song can be purchased in the Eagle’s Wings collection at the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart site.
This is another of John de Luca’s arrangements of folk style hymns. Firstly, he dropped the key from G to F, which I like from a singing perspective, but is a typical keyboard player’s revenge on guitarists.
Amazingly from a chord perspective things are even simpler:
Looking at the keyboard arrangement, all I can say is that Erica Marshall’s arrangement for Father Frank is a lot different from this one. Any organists who have NLPHB night be able to tell us more.
I use this song every year, but as a hymn about the Trinity it doesn’t actually say a lot.
The last time I looked at this my backing was uncharacteristically restrained. This time I made a folk styled backing:
1 Father, in my life I see
You are God who walks with me!
You hold my life in Your hands:
Close beside You I will stand!
I give all my life to you:
Help me, Father, to be true!2 Jesus, in my life I see
You are God who walks with me!
You hold my life in Your hands:
Close beside You I will stand!
I give all my life to you:
Help me, Jesus, to be true3 Spirit, in my life I see
You are God who walks with me!
You hold my life in Your hands:
Close beside You I will stand!
I give all my life to you:
Help me, Spirit, to be true
