Music:
(Guitar chords and lyrics -- sorry, we can only include music for which the copyright has expried. Please note that organ chords change more frequently than is practical on guitar, so these have been simplified for guitar versions. Also, they have been transposed for alto/baritone singers. Check with keyboardist if playing together with a piano or organ.)

Files with the ".mus" ending can be opened using Finale Notepad, available for free download here. These files include music notation and audio playback. The free version has several features disabled, so you may notice unusual notation to compensate for this in order to obtain playback most nearly following the music in our hymnals.
