Hymn of PromiseNatalie Sleeth/arr. Janet
Linker & Jane McFadden. Combining handbells,
keyboard and chimes, Janet Linker and Jane
McFadden have created a contemplative and gentle
arrangement of this lovely Natalie Sleeth tune. The
introduction features bells and piano antiphonally,

Grace with chimes on the melody accompanied by
malleted suspended handbells. After a modulation
to C major, the final statement of Hymn of Promise
returns as a handbell solo and crescendos with
piano to a brilliant declaration of faith.

traditional Israeli melody
PROMISED ONE is arranged
