I was listening to Hiding Place, by Selah, and looked up this one. Great, great fun to play.
But WOW do those old hymns use a LOT of chords! I don't mean variety (although they usually have a fair bit of that), but hymns change chord a lot compared to more modern stuff. In some parts of this hymn, it's a new chord every syllable. Just as well the singer is never in too much of a hurry then Practicing stuff like this can only make me a better player, provided I don't just get sloppy.
