A young Deacon I teach was asked to play this song at the Aaronic Priesthood commemoration in the Temple grounds one cold and frosty morning – hence no accompaniment. The poor boy was so terrified, but I was told he did so well, he ended up playing it again with me doing an ‘alto’ part (which is in my head and not notated) in Sacrament Meeting. It was very well received by those listening.
I did laminate a copy of this for him once I had printed it out, because you know how boys are with their music 😉
