Here’s a new arrangement and recording of an old hymn from the Sacred Harp: “My Spirit Looks to God Alone” (Sacred Harp #26). The lyrics were written by the famous hymn writer Isaac Watts in 1719, and are based on Psalm 62. The arrangement in the
Sacred Harp is based on the Samaria tune. My arrangement is simple — voice and acoustic guitar, with a little synth padding, and some gongs. I thought the gongs added a nice, meditative touch to this somewhat somber yet hopeful song.
