Common English language texts are “Alleluia! Sing to Jesus”, “Love Divine, All Loves Excelling” and “Jesus! what a Friend for sinners!” for general use, “Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus” for Advent, and “I Will Sing of My Redeemer” for the Easter season. &nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><span style="color:inherit;"></span></p><p>This 12+ bell arrangement can be played by as few as three players, but was intended for six young ringers (with no bell changes or shared bells) as an introduction to handbell ensembles. Bells used range from Bb4 to F6 and optional G6 and Bb6.&nbsp; Suggested assignments for 3, 4, or 6 ringers are included.&nbsp;</p></div>
