“A Sojourner’s Joyful Adventure”

Volume 4

 In this volume, there are 72 hymns that will enable a conscientious piper to ‘sing’ with his or her pipes, to shape the emotions, “making melody in your heart to the Lord.”  One who neither sings or plays an instrument, would seem to trudge through life, in and empty silence.  This music will put the swing in a piper’s step. 

These hymns and the dissertations related to sojourning through this world, will reassure pipers and drummers, that reliance upon God, in everything that is worthwhile, will provide ‘strength for the road.’  In these hymns, if Christ has not been found already, He is introduced as the most congenial of traveling companions, so pipers “might feel after Him, and find Him, though He be not far from any of us.”    

A treasury of strength and inspiration is in your hand.  These hymns are poems of the Christian faith.  Memorize a poem or two a week, and its corresponding tune, and you will be ‘marching on air.’

Hymns in “A Sojourner’s Joyful Adventure” portray the life of a Christian as a ‘journey’ towards Heaven, the dwelling place for the family of God.  The adventure is ‘joyful,’ because it is shared with God’s Holy Spirit as travelling companion.  He provides Faith to surmount difficult times, Grace to meet God, our Heavenly Father at the end of life’s journey, our Heavenly Home, and Friendship for life.

Playing hymns on your ’pipes is as though singing, “making melody in your heart to the Lord.”  ’Pipes that sing these hymns will shape your emotions.  Play them when you are disappointed or saddened, frustrated, depressed, angry or happy.  Before long, you will find joy in your heart.  It is the kind of medicine that works!

Music with singing in your soul is the heart’s language.  One who neither sings nor plays and instrument, would seem to trudge through life, in and empty silence.... not the way he or she should, for this music will put the swing in a piper’s step.  Its resonance will make the whole body feel good.

These hymns arranged for bagpipe players, and the dissertations related to ‘sojourning through this world,’ will reassure both pipers and drummers, that reliance upon God, in everything that is worthwhile, will provide ‘strength for the road.’  In these hymns, if He has not been found already, is an introduction to the most congenial of travelling companions, Jesus Christ, that “they might feel after Him, and find Him, though He be not far from every one of us.”
