Here is a flowing instrumental trio arrangement (for VIOLIN and CELLO duet with PIANO accompaniment) of a beautiful hymn from the early 1900's titled "My Song" by D. S. Hakes. The original lyrics were inspired by the following Bible verse: "The Lord is my strength and song." Psalm 118:14 

This hymn may be better known by its Spanish title "Mi Redentor es Cristo" (O Jesus, my Redeemer) when used with lyrics translated by Edgar L. Maxwell. The original lyrics by F. E. Belden are shown below.

Both the VIOLIN and the CELLO get to lead with the melody at times making this a fun and equally challenging piece for both instruments while adding variety for the listeners. The song begins in the key of C major for the first and second verses, then transitions to the key of G major during the piano interlude before the third and final verse.

The range for each part is as follows: VIOLIN ~ G4 to B5; CELLO ~ G2 to D4. All notes for both the VIOLIN and CELLO are playable in the first position making this arrangement an excellent choice for early-intermediate string players. The PIANO accompaniment is written for an intermediate player.  Duration 3:00.

The purchase price includes these printing options: 
1. a grand staff (9 pages) with all parts on each page
2. separate scores for the VIOLIN and CELLO (2 pages each) and PIANO (4 pages)
3. a combined VIOLIN and CELLO score (3 pages)

This arrangement is one of the 10 songs in the collection "Praise Him with Stringed Instruments, Book 3 (Collection of 10 Hymns for Violin, Cello, and Piano)."

Lyrics by F. E. Belden 
Verse 1:
O Jesus, my Redeemer, Thou art my Joy and Song,
My Saviour and my Solace when griefs around me throng.

Chorus:
O Jesus, my Redeemer, My song shall be of thee;
No other Friend so constant, no friend so dear to me.

Verse 2:
Thou art my Hope and Comfort through all the weary years,
When shadows dark surround me, when all the bitter tears.

Verse 3:
I trust in Thee, my Saviour, My faithful Friend and Guide;
For thou to me art dearer than all on earth beside.
