For an example of an adaptation in the hymnbook, compare “Should You Feel Inclined to Censure” (no. 235), a congregational arrangement, with “Brightly Beams Our Father’s Mercy” (no. 335), the same music arranged for men’s voices.

You will note that in the hymns arranged for men’s choirs, a tenor clef symbol is used instead of the usual treble clef symbol. You should generally play the right-hand notes of these hymns an octave lower than the treble clef. The result is a rich, effective accompaniment for men’s voices.
