% from https://hymnary.org/hymn/RHSA1889/page/44 (changed "Saviour" to "Savior")
% text: Standing on the Promises https://hymnary.org/text/standing_on_the_promises_of_christ_my_ki
% tune: Promises https://hymnary.org/tune/promises_carter
% The whole piece was additionally transposed down a whole step from B♭ to A♭.
% The Celebration Hymnal is identical except that it makes a few changes (trap
% streets, one wonders?—I invariably like the changes less than the originals)
% in the last two measures (none of which are made in this document):
% - First note of the second-to-last measure, CEL1997 has tenor singing F in
% unison with the basses
% - Last note of the second-to-last measure, CEL1997 has tenor singing A, a
% repeat of the previous note
% - Last note (whole) of the piece, CEL1997 has B♭3 an octave above basses (and
% a cue-note-looking F4 between the alto and soprano to round the chord out)
