Looking for Hymn Lyrics?
Welcome to Name That Hymn
This
site began as a site reaching out to the Internet community to help me
find "lost" hymn lyrics for a hymnal I was editing.
But
something interesting happened. After I launched the site, I noticed that
people started to write in, asking for help locating hymn lyrics that
they were searching for. In many cases, the hymn lyrics they
were seeking were to a song that was very near and dear to their or a
loved one's heart. In many cases, I was able to help track down the hymns.
Needless to say, it was a very rewarding experience.
So,
I thought I might convert this site as one devoted to anyone who
might be searching for hymns and hymn lyrics. Here are the sections of
the site:
Hymn
Lyrics Search Forum
Searching
for a hymn? Post your request in the Hymn
Lyrics Search Forum. I'll try my best to respond to your request,
and if I can't, hopefully a fellow traveler on the Information Superhighway
can.
Include
in your request as much information as you know of the hymn -- any lyrics
you remember (even sporadic words or phrases), the melody, a possible
title, where and when you remember singing it, etc. The more clues you
provide, the better the chances of someone finding it.

This is a blog of devotionals that were inspired by favorite hymns. Each

:))

The
Original Name That Hymn Site
These
was the original site I put up requesting assistance for my own hymnal
project. If there are experts out there in Gospel hymns that may have
circulated in Asia in the early-to-mid 20th century, I could still use
your help with the original search!
