Return to Eight-Bell Hymns (General)

Praise God, Ye Servants of the Lord (ANDRE) (eight handbells and piano)

William Bradbury wrote hymn tunes that are still well-known more than a century later. He Leadeth Me and Sweet Hour of Prayer are two that still appear in hymnals of today. His lively tune ANDRE, matched with Praise God, Ye Servants of the Lord, may be less familiar, but it still suggests praise and rejoicing when played.

Praise God: ye servants of the Lord, O praise, the Lord’s name praise.
Yea, blessed be the name of God from this time forth always.
From rising sun to where it sets, God’s name is to be prais’d.
Above all nations God is high, ’bove heav’ns his glory rais’d.
Unto the Lord our God that dwells on high, who can compare?
Himself that humbleth things to see in heav’n and earth that are.

The eight bells in the score are accompanied by piano; if you don’t happen to have an accompanist available, we also have an accompaniment MP3 available for purchase.
