Verse 1
D

It was a stylish congregation
G
D

you could see they'd been around
G
D

And they had the biggest pipe

organ of any church in town
G
D

But over in the Amen Corner of

that church sat Brother Ayer
A

And he insisted every Sunday
D

on singing in the choir
A

His voice was cracked and broken age

had touched his vocal chords
D

And nearly every Sunday he'd

get behind and miss the words
A

Well the choir got so flustered

the church was told in fine

That Brother Ayer must stop his singing
D

or the choir was going to resign

So the pastor appointed a committee

I think it was three or four
G

And they got in their big fine cars
D

and drove up to Ayer's door

They find the choir's great trouble

sittin' there in an old arm chair

And the summer's golden sunbeams

lay upon his snow white hair

Said York we're here dear Brother
G

with the vestries approbation
D

To discuss a little matter that
G

affects the congregation
D

Now it seems that your voice

has interfered with the choir

So if you'll just lay out are you

listening Brother Ayer
A
D

The old man raised his head

a sign that he had hear
A

And on his cheek the three men caught

the glitter of a tear

His feeble hands pushed back
D

the locks as white as silky snow

And he answered the committee
A

in a voice both soft and low

I wonder if beyond the tide
D

that's breaking at my feet

In that far off heavenly temple where
G

my Master and I shall meet
D

Yes I wonder if when I try to sing

the song of God up higher
G
D

I wonder if they'll kick me out
A
D

of there for singing in heaven's choir

A silence filled the little room
A

and the old man bowed his head

The committee went on back to town

but Brother Ayer was dead
D

The choir missed him for awhile

but he was soon forgotten
A

A few church goers watched the door
D

but the old man entered not

Far away his voice is sweet and

he sings his heart desire
G
D

Where are there no church committees

and no fashionable choirs
G
D
A
D
A
D

Let me hide my self in Thee

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
