[musictlk] Episcopalian Hymns

[Chris Nusbaum]

Rachel:

I grew up Episcopalian and led the hymns at many of the services at my previous church. Through another church musician, I learned about a Web site which has texts for most of the hymns in the Episcopal Hymnal. As most Episcopal churches uses the 1982 Hymnal, which is the most recent edition, this Web site could probably work for you as well. Here's the link: www.oremus.org/hymnal/82.html. As I prepared for services, I would often copy and paste the lyrics into a Word document so I could read them with my Braille display. This was a very useful resource to me, and I hope it works for you. If your church uses a different version of the Hymnal, you may want to Google the year in which the hymnal was published. Oremus or another site may have a similar copy of an earlier hymnal.

Hope this helps,

Chris Nusbaum

As I am not familiar with most of these hymns, and as I do not have them in Braille, I have looked up lyrics to them online. I'm not worried about memorizingthe music by ear, but  I have noticed that some of the hymns have different variations on lyrics. Do any of you have electronic Braille versions of an Episcopalian hymnal? Are they pretty standardized throughout the different Episcopalian churches?
