From Royce Eckhardt
The below two audio files are two beautiful hymn arrangements by Royce Eckhardt. The recordings originate from a long-time college friend who requested hearing his settings of familiar hymns.
Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing; Brother James’ Air/Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us
Morning Has Broken; Blessed Assurance
