It&#8217;s also possible to attend a church service where hymns are not used in worship for certain reasons and that&#8217;s fine.<\/p>\n<p>However, there&#8217;s no gainsaying the fact that hymns are an integral part of christian worship because there are hymns for every season (Christmas, Easter, and so on), time of the day (morning, noon, night, and so on), message (repentance, forgiveness, and so on)<\/p>\n<p>From the structure of hymns to it&#8217;s melody and harmony, hymns are purely <em>liturgical <\/em>and believe it or not, hymn songs have a way of creating a worship atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re lucky (like me) to belong to a denomination where hymns are sung, then you have to be thankful because you&#8217;re about to learn a couple of chords and progressions that can help you spice up the hymn segment in a worship service, especially if you&#8217;re stuck to the basic version.<\/p>\n<h2>An Overview Of The Hymn<\/h2>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the lyrics to the hymn:<\/p>\n<div class=\"document lyrics\">\n<div class=\"verses\" data-editable=\"tt3_music|url=Pass_Me_Not_O_Gentle_Savior|verses\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"first\">Pass me not, O gentle Savior,<br \/>\nHear my humble cry;<br \/>\nWhile on others Thou art calling,<br \/>\nDo not pass me by.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"refrain\"><span class=\"refrain\">Refrain:<\/span><br \/>\nSavior, Savior,<br \/>\nHear my humble cry,<br \/>\nWhile on others Thou art calling,<br \/>\nDo not pass me by.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Let me at Thy throne of mercy<br \/>\nFind a sweet relief;<br \/>\nKneeling there in deep contrition,<br \/>\nHelp my unbelief.<\/li>\n<li>Trusting only in Thy merit,<br \/>\nWould I seek Thy face;<br \/>\nHeal my wounded, broken spirit,<br \/>\nSave me by Thy grace.<\/li>\n<li>Thou the spring of all my comfort,<br \/>\nMore than life to me,<br \/>\nWhom have I on earth beside Thee,<br \/>\nWhom in Heav\u2019n but Thee.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>A Simple Analysis Of The Melody<\/h2>\n<p>The melody of the song in the key of Db major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Db,Eb,F,Gb,Ab,Bb,C,Db&amp;color=CCCCFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;starts on the third tone of the scale (which is F):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,F&amp;color=CCCCFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and ends on the first tone of the scale (which is Db):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,Db&amp;color=CCCCFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nIt is also important to note that it encompasses an octave from Ab (which is the lowest pitch in the melody):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Ab,&amp;color=CCCCFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;to Ab (which is the highest pitch in the melody):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,Ab&amp;color=CCCCFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>An Advanced Breakdown Of The Hymn<\/h2>\n<p>Before you proceed, kindly check out this advanced approach to the hymn:<br \/>\n[wp_colorbox_media url=&#8221;http:\/\/tools.hearandplay.com\/songtutorkeystest7\/SongTutor.html?midifile=131PASSMENOT.mid&#8221; type=&#8221;iframe&#8221; hyperlink=&#8221;https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Screenshot-2015-12-22-22.04.15.png&#8221; title=&#8221;An Advanced Approach To &#8220;Pass Me Not O Gentle Savior&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>The Intro<\/h3>\n<p>Although every section of the song is important, however, the introduction (aka &#8211; &#8220;the intro&#8221;) is a very delicate section of the song. It is important for [a fragment of] the melody of the hymn song to be part of the intro because it has a way of mirroring in the song.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the intro:<br \/>\n[wp_colorbox_media url=&#8221;http:\/\/tools.hearandplay.com\/songtutorkeystest7\/SongTutor.html?midifile=131INTRO.mid&#8221; type=&#8221;iframe&#8221; hyperlink=&#8221;https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Screenshot-2015-12-22-22.04.15.png&#8221; title=&#8221;The Intro &#8211; Pass Me Not O Gentle Savior&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>The 2-5-1 Chord Progressions<\/h3>\n<p>The strongest root progressions in music is in ascents of fourths and descents of fifths. This explains why the 2-5-1 chord progression is commonly used in popular music styles like gospel and jazz.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The 2-5-1 chord progression entails the harmonic movement of chords from the second degree of the scale, to the fifth degree of the scale, the to the first degree of the scale.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Although there are major and minor 2-5-1 chord progressions in this hymn, there are minor 2-5-1 chord progressions you must take note of&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The minor 2-5-1 chord progression to chord 6:<\/strong><br \/>\n[wp_colorbox_media url=&#8221;http:\/\/tools.hearandplay.com\/songtutorkeystest7\/SongTutor.html?midifile=131251OF6.mid&#8221; type=&#8221;iframe&#8221; hyperlink=&#8221;https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Screenshot-2015-12-22-22.04.15.png&#8221; title=&#8221;Minor 2-5-1 Chord Progression To Chord 6&#8243;]<br \/>\n<strong>The minor 2-5-1 chord progression to chord 2:<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\n[wp_colorbox_media url=&#8221;http:\/\/tools.hearandplay.com\/songtutorkeystest7\/SongTutor.html?midifile=131251OF2.mid&#8221; type=&#8221;iframe&#8221; hyperlink=&#8221;https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Screenshot-2015-12-22-22.04.15.png&#8221; title=&#8221;Minor 2-5-1 Chord Progression To Chord 2&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attention:<\/strong> Chord 2 and 5 in both cases featured the dominant 7(b9) chord.<\/p>\n<h3>The Hymn Techniques<\/h3>\n<p>There are two techniques that should not escape your notice in this hymn. The first one is the <em>turn <\/em>that was played at the intro, and the second one is the <em>glissando,<\/em> which is also known as the piano gliss.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Check Them Out&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The turn:<br \/>\n[wp_colorbox_media url=&#8221;http:\/\/tools.hearandplay.com\/songtutorkeystest7\/SongTutor.html?midifile=131TECH1.mid&#8221; type=&#8221;iframe&#8221; hyperlink=&#8221;https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Screenshot-2015-12-22-22.04.15.png&#8221; title=&#8221;Hymn Technique &#8211; The Turn&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>The glissando:<br \/>\n[wp_colorbox_media url=&#8221;http:\/\/tools.hearandplay.com\/songtutorkeystest7\/SongTutor.html?midifile=131TECH2GLISS.mid&#8221; type=&#8221;iframe&#8221; hyperlink=&#8221;https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Screenshot-2015-12-22-22.04.15.png&#8221; title=&#8221;Hymn Technique &#8211; The Glissando&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>These are little but powerful elements that can take your hymn playing to the next level.<\/p>\n<h3>The Concept Of Side-Stepping And Resolving<\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in incorporating some chromatic elements into hymn songs, then I recommend that you try the concept of side-stepping and resolving.<\/p>\n<p>This concept entails the temporal movement OUT of the prevailing key, to another key that is a half-step above the prevailing key. This was applied twice in this hymn.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Check Out The First One&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><br \/>\n[wp_colorbox_media url=&#8221;http:\/\/tools.hearandplay.com\/songtutorkeystest7\/SongTutor.html?midifile=131SIDESTEPPING.mid&#8221; type=&#8221;iframe&#8221; hyperlink=&#8221;https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Screenshot-2015-12-22-22.04.15.png&#8221; title=&#8221;Side-stepping and Resolving #1&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Notice how the melody shifted from the prevailing key which is Db major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Db,Eb,F,Gb,Ab,Bb,C,Db&amp;color=CCCCFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;to another key that is a half-step below (which is the key of C major):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C&amp;color=CCCCFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<em>&#8220;&#8230;And The Second One&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><br \/>\n[wp_colorbox_media url=&#8221;http:\/\/tools.hearandplay.com\/songtutorkeystest7\/SongTutor.html?midifile=131SIDESTEPPING2.mid&#8221; type=&#8221;iframe&#8221; hyperlink=&#8221;https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Screenshot-2015-12-22-22.04.15.png&#8221; title=&#8221;Side-stepping and Resolving #2&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>The hymn is supposed to end with a mid-tempo run over the Db major ninth chord, however, we <em>side-stepped<\/em> to the D major ninth chord, and played an ascending run for the Db major ninth chord, before <em>resolving\u00a0<\/em>with a descending run over the Db major ninth chord.<\/p>\n<h3>The Reharmonization Of The Melody<\/h3>\n<p>One of things most top players turn heads with is the reharmonization of the basic chords to the melody of a song.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Listen To The Excerpt Below&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><br \/>\n[wp_colorbox_media url=&#8221;http:\/\/tools.hearandplay.com\/songtutorkeystest7\/SongTutor.html?midifile=131TURNAROUNDPROGRESSION.mid&#8221; type=&#8221;iframe&#8221; hyperlink=&#8221;https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Screenshot-2015-12-22-22.04.15.png&#8221; title=&#8221;Reharmonization Of Melodies&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Take note of how each melody note is accompanied with advanced chords, and how it adds an extra dimension to the hymn song, taking it out of the regular and making something &#8220;exotic&#8221; out of it.<\/p>\n<h3>Turnaround Chord Progression To Chord 4<\/h3>\n<p>In the excerpt below:<br \/>\n[wp_colorbox_media url=&#8221;http:\/\/tools.hearandplay.com\/songtutorkeystest7\/SongTutor.html?midifile=131TURNAROUNDTO4.mid&#8221; type=&#8221;iframe&#8221; hyperlink=&#8221;https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Screenshot-2015-12-22-22.04.15.png&#8221; title=&#8221;Turnaround Chord Progression To Chord 4&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>The regular destination for the turnaround is to chord 1 &#8211; the Db major ninth chord.
