Christian! Seek Not Yet Repose, easy version

Melody and left-hand roots

The melody as Havergal wrote it, with the left hand playing only the root of the harmony at the start of each bar. It keeps 39 of the piece's 93 notes and adds none: a sketch of the piece in its own notes, to read before the real thing. Level 2 of 7, where the piece as written is level 3.
