I'm looking for hymn resources.

[theflounder]

I'm new to the church (3 1/2 years) and just started playing guitar with the music team. We are a fairly contemporary church with a blended service. I know all of the contemporary songs, because music and chord charts are readily available, and more importantly, CDs are everywhere. I don't have the luxury of an abundanve of traditional hymn CDs to listen to. I want to learn them, as they are a vital part of the church's corporate worship through music. I just feel left in the dark, because a lot of people have a bit of an attitude toward the younger generation's music. I didn't grow up in church, so all of it is new to me, including the hymns. Anyone know how I can 'catch up'? Blessings.

Some hymnals have the chords printed these days... although when it comes to the guitar, I am about as clueless as one can be.

Go to Reformed University Fellowship's website and click on music. Then go to the RUF online hymnbook. It's a great resource for hymns. [I'd post a link, but I don't have enough posts.]

...An excellent resource.

An excellent site is www.cyberhymnal.org

There is well over 4,000 hymns, and you can download the sheet music you want.

another source may possibly be a public, university, or college library

I'd suggest searching things like "online hymnal" and "cyber hymnal" at any search engine. There seems to be quite a few of them and this will probably help you.
