About the Hymns
and When to Use Them

 Easter Hymns

Crown Him with Many Crowns

Crown him with Many Crowns is known for being a part of the Easter Sunday Service. While the hymn can be presented throughout the year, specifically in times of celebration and honoring Jesus, the hymn is a staple for the Easter Sunday Service.

Thine be the Glory

Thine be the Glory is a catchy hymn that has text that relates closely to the Easter Sunday Service. This hymn specifically talks about the resurrection, so it is best to keep this specifically for Easter.

 

Pentecost

All Creatures of our God and King

All Creatures of our God and King was originally written for Pentecost Sunday, however, this can be a perfect special opening to any Sunday service. The arrangement is also perfect as a specialty anthem or highlight to a service with its high energy and triumphant character.

 

Military Service Hymns

Eternal Father, Strong to Save

Eternal Father, Strong to Save is best known for being the U.S. Naval Hymn. It is most appropriate to showcase this hymn in a Memorial Day or Veteran's Day Service, or at a Naval Soldier’s Funeral. However, the hymn does not have to exclusively be dedicated to military recognitions (although the significations should be noted). The arrangement would work great as an inclusion to a specialty recital showcasing a brass quintets’ ability to express slow music.

 

Possible use for a Brass Recital

All Creatures of our God and King

All Creatures of our God and King was originally written for Pentecost Sunday, however, this can be a perfect special opening to any Sunday service. The arrangement is also perfect as a specialty anthem or highlight to a service with its high energy and triumphant character. This would also work great for a Brass Recital at a church.

Come, Christians, Join to Sing

Come, Christians, Join to Sing was first written as a children’s message hymn. The repetitive words and catchy melody helps keep this in a congregations memory throughout the week. This specific arrangement has a certain ‘film score’ style to it. With this, it can be a great way to start the service with an energetic vibrancy. There is also an ‘abridged’ option for this arrangement to make it great for a ‘Call to Worship’ opening. This would also work great for a Brass Recital at a church.

Christmas Hymns

Angels we Have Heard on High

Angels we have Heard on High is a popular hymn for the Christmas season as the text describes the joy and excitement over the birth of Jesus Christ. This is a great choice as an opening hymn on Christmas day, but can be performed throughout the Christmas season as well.

 

Funeral Service

O God, Our Help in Ages Past

O God, our Help in Ages Past is based mainly in faith and trust in God. The message is meant to be one of comfort, and putting fears toward God rather than manifesting our own anxiety internally. With this, the hymn can be helpful for either a Funeral Service, a helpful reminder during times of change or inconsistencies, or even in celebration during times of faithfulness.

Eternal Father, Strong to Save (specifically for Navy Soldiers)

Eternal Father, Strong to Save is best known for being the U.S. Naval Hymn. It is most appropriate to showcase this hymn in a Memorial Day or Veteran's Day Service, or at a Naval Soldier’s Funeral.
