About Project Hymnal
Hymns are enjoyed in many places and in a variety of occasions. Sometimes, it seems like everyone has their own hymn books with different versions of the same hymns. Sometimes, somebody wants to sing a hymn but nobody knows how to sing or play it. Not anymore.
Introducing Project Hymnal, the crowd-sourced hymnal. A hymnal where everyone can learn, everyone can contribute to, and everyone will love to use.
You will now be able to have the most up-to-date versions of hymns and all the newest songs at your disposal—all offline. Learn a new song, listen to instrumentals, view music sheets, and play guitar all from your device. Any time, anywhere.
And if you don't see a song? Upload it through the app. We'll review it and make it available for all our users. The purpose of this non-profit application is to make hymns available to learn, enjoy, and, eventually, personalize. If you own rights to a hymn that was uploaded by one of our users and do not want it in our system, please contact us and we will work with you.
