Dulcimer Arrangements of "Leaning on the Arms of Jesus" and "The Lambs Crying Out (Canaan Hymn #163)

Hello everyone,

I want to apologize for not updating my site on Monday, as I usually do. I think I caught a cold over the weekend. Since I had some extra time at home, I remained busy and this week I am hosting two new tunes on my site; “Leaning on the Arms of Jesus” and “The Lambs are Crying Out” (Canaan Hymn #163). One is a hymn favorite for many people in the United States and the other is a popular hymn to millions of underground Christians in China.

“The Lambs are Crying Out” is the first “drown” style hymn I’ve ever uploaded onto my site and I doubt it will be the last. The original harmony probably sounds nothing like a dulcimer drown, but the text lends itself to that sound. The drown of a dulcimer can be a powerful sound, and as this hymn calls Christians to get up and serve and “not hold back the gifts the Lord gives us”, what better way to play this hymn! Below is a sound file of Xiao Min (The Hymn’s writer) singing this hymn into a small hand-held recorder. If you want more information about the Canaan Hymns, go to canaanhymns. org for free videos, music and records of the hymns that have blessed China so much.

God bless,

-Ben
