Christian Hymns

Synopsis

This is a nondenominational collection of 942 hymns published in Wales and Welsh congregations are well-known for their excellent singiing. This collection, however, is words-only; the names of the hymn-tunes and their composers are not given. You may look them up on the website Hymnary.org. Some of the prolific hymn writers whose hymns are in this collection include Charles Wesley (84 hymns), Isaac Watts (59 hymns), The Moravian James Montgomery (26 hymns), the English non-conformist Philip Dodridge (19 hymns) and John Newton (the slave trader turned repentant Christian), (19 hymns). As with other hymnbooks on Bookshare, this too has DAISY markup for each hymn at level 2 and major subject breakdowns at level 1. There is an alphabetical index of first lines without punctuation to aid in searching for a hymn title. In a BRF file, Bookshare software will create a lengthy table of contents followed by the text of the hymn book. For other hymn collections on Bookshare see also The New Believers Hymn Book; Gospel Hymn Book; The United Methodist Hymnal; Glory to God (Presbyterian); Evangelical Lutheran Worship (ELCA); and Lutheran Servicebook: Psalms and Hymns (Missouri Synod). For texts of cantatas by Johann Sebastian Bach, see The Church Cantatas of J. S. Bach by Alec Robinson (with commentary), and Johann Sebastian Bach: The Complete Cantatas in German-English translations by Richard Stokes.
