St. David's Presbyterian Church: Record of Hymns

Skip introduction

Welcome to the Record of Hymns for St. David's Church. Here you will find the melody and full scores of the hymns, in MIDI format, sung within specified dates. We hope that if you, our congregation, can have an advance listen to what we'll be singing, you'll feel more comfortable lifting your voice with us. If you'd like to hear the alto, tenor, or bass line separated from the rest, just e-mail Heather.

Every Sunday we sing: Praise God from whom all blessings flow (#830) or We give thee but thine own (#661) after the offering; and Three-Fold Amen (#780) after the benediction.

How does it work?

• To hear the music: Click on the treble clef (just the main tune) or the piano (all parts). Links to descants and other special variations are part of the title. Copyrighted hymns will only have the music available for one week before and after they are sung.
• To read the lyrics: click on the ABC icon. This is available only for hymns with words in the public domain.
• To find out more about the hymns: click the i-balloon after the date. This will take you to the entries in the Hymn Search Database for single hymns or a week's worth
• Under-construction icons indicate that the music or lyrics file ought to be available but can't be found by the webpage; this probably means it isn't prepared yet. I try to get the music for each Sunday ready at least a day or two before.

Numbered hymns are from the 1997 (black) Book of Praise; please see that volume for complete copyright listing. More information on the Book of Praise can be found within the Presbyterian Church in Canada website.

The MIDIs should play in your Web browser when clicked on, if you are using an up-to-date version of Netscape or Internet Explorer. You may also right-click on them to save them to disk and use a stand-alone MIDI player to hear them. See Tips and Tools for more technical info.
