The Lutheran Hymnal remains a great gathering of wonderful hymns, and Norma A. Boeckler has created beautiful graphics for most of them. Sing along with this tune for Ten Thousand Times Ten Thousand, click Alford. Many of us can read the notes and sing along with a new or old melody - results may vary. The Bethany Hymnal allows for having the lyrics, the melody, and an illustration for most hymns. As time allows, more information about the authors and the hymn itself will be added. I enjoy using YouTube for hymns because many of us have one tune or another in our minds. The alternatives are good to know. Printing hymnals is a great money-maker for the denominations, but their expensive boat anchors keep getting worse and worse. Well over 44,000 views for The Bethany Hymnal Blog suggests that people would like quality instead of high cost and weight. |
