| Added by crosby3145, 12 Nov 2017 Stirring arrangement of Towner's classic hymn, Trust and Obey, perfect for prelude, offertory, or other special service music. We have an account from Towner himself of the story of this hymn. “Mr. Moody was conducting a series of meetings in Brockton, Massachusetts [presumably in 1886], and I had the pleasure of singing for him there. One night a young man rose in a testimony meeting and said, “I am not quite sure-but I am going to trust, and I am going to obey.” I just jotted that sentence down, and sent it with the little story to the Rev. John H. Sammis, a Presbyterian minister. He wrote the hymn, and the tune was born.” Sammis started by writing the chorus, then wrote five verses to the well-known hymn. Moody and his songleader, Ira D. Sankey, started using the piece in their crusades, and the rest is history. | |||
