For each song there is information that may include a description of the song, a brief biography of the author or composer, and information for worship leaders such as performance suggestions and available arrangements. Brief audio clips are also available for most songs.

The search box allows you to search for songs by first line, author, composer, topic, or scripture passages quoted or alluded to. You can also jump immediately to a hymn by number.

Our revolutionary FlexScores are available for many of the songs. These include large print, lead sheet, and instrumental versions. You can adjust the music and text size of the scores and transpose them.

The versions offered for FlexScores include pew, lead sheet, violin, viola, cello, bass, flute, clarinet, oboe, bassoon, alto saxophone, soprano or tenor saxophone, horn, trumpet, trombone, and tuba. For the instrumental versions, the music is transposed into an appropriate range and displayed in an appropriate clef for the instrument.

A network connection is required to play audio samples and view most FlexScores.

Note that while editions (such as the Pew Edition and FlexScore Edition) of the hymnal can be transferred to other devices, individual FlexScores -- both the $1.99 and $9.99 versions -- cannot be transferred to other devices.
