Eb major 3/488 BPMEnglishSATBIntermediate·WorshipThanksgivingHymnThanksgivingWorship

"Ebenezer" (Stone of Help) is a stately hymn-style composition that draws on the Old Testament declaration from 1 Samuel 7:12 — "Hitherto has the Lord helped us." The piece builds from a simple statement of faith into a powerful affirmation of God's faithfulness.

The Eb major tonality gives the piece a warm, regal quality that suits both congregational singing and formal choral performance.

Scripture

1 Samuel 7:12 — "Then Samuel took a stone and set it up... He named it Ebenezer, saying, 'Thus far the Lord has helped us'"

Inspiration

Inspired by moments of personal testimony — those times when you pause and look back, realizing God's hand was in every step.

Performance Notes

The Eb major key requires confident intonation. The hymn-like structure should feel stately, with clear phrase breaks. Build dynamics gradually through the verses.
