If your church uses the Celebration Hymnal®, the Hymnal for Worship and Celebration, the 1991 Baptist Hymnal, the Lutheran Book of Worship, With One Voice, the 1989 United Methodist Hymnal, the 1990 Presbyterian Hymnal, the 1985 Hymns of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the New National Baptist Hymnal (21st Century Edition), the Christian Life Hymnal, or the 1985 Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal, the Christian Virtual Hymnal is something you must have. It contains almost all the public domain songs (i.e., no CCLI license is required) in these collections and will save you many hundreds of hours and provide unprecedented flexibility in creating transposable sheet music with optional chord names/fret diagrams, transposable chord charts and MIDI files for playing.

Over 3,500 public domain selections* from the above-listed hymnals are included ready for use. Transpose to any key. Reorder and/or delete any verses. Display SATB, lead sheets or chord charts (verses only - no music - with chord names and fret diagrams).

Music and verses are the same as in the respective hymnals so no editing is generally required for congregations using these hymnals. Use the Christian Virtual Hymnal (either by itself or in conjunction with a sequencing program) in place of an organist. Quickly print out just hymn verses for weekly bulletins or transpose hymns for the choir.

See hymns on your screen exactly as they will print. You can specify things like whether you want

  • Traditional 4 part harmony as found in the hardbound hymnals or melody only;

  • To use an alternate tune;

  • To reorder verses and/or delete any verses --- display/print just the verses you want;

  • Chord names or guitar fret diagrams or none;

  • 1, 2, 3, all or no verses under the notes or after the hymn in 1 or 2 column format;

  • Verses only (no music --- good for weekly bulletins, caroling, etc.) with optional chord names/fret diagrams;

  • To print the music as chord charts in any key (verse and chordname fonts and sizes are user specfiable);

  • Export verses only to an ascii (text) file;

  • Portrait or landscape page orientation;

  • To display the music using shape notes or standard round noteheads;

  • To display the music using tablature for guitar, banjo, or any other stringed instrument;

And when playing,

  • Change tempos and specify number of times to repeat playing;

  • Specify different general MIDI instruments for the treble and bass clefs;

  • When playing a hymn more than once, specify different instruments to be used for each repetition (much like when an organist changes the organ stops at the beginning of each stanza);

  • Save hymns as MIDI files which then can be played later or imported into a sequencing program for further manipulation;

You can use any scalable Windows' fonts/sizes for lyrics, chord names, titles, etc. The music can be scaled larger (e.g., for easier reading) or smaller and then quickly reformatted and justified. Any Windows' printer can be used to obtain engraver quality printed output comparable to that you find in the Celebration Hymnal® or the Hymnal for Worship and Celebration. Page and margin sizes are adjustable.

Individual hymns can be imported into our 5-star rated MusicEase Professional [version 8.1 and later] intelligent music score editor and fully edited. Order both the Christian Virtual Hymnal (normal price is $349.95)and MusicEase Professional (normal price is $249.95) and pay just $499.95 for the two. The Christian Virtual Hymnal is fully self-contained. MusicEase Professional is not required to run it. You can experience how the ChristianVirtual Hymnal works by downloading the fully functional evaluation version of it for free from one of the sites on our download page. The evaluation version contains only 30 some hymns (several from each of the included hymnals) but otherwise provides all the functionality of the full version.

[Integrity Music, Brentwood-Benson and MediaShout Corporation have all used this same virtual hymnal technology of ours in one or more of their products.]

Click here to see a list of all the hymn names for all hymns included in the Christian Virtual Hymnal with each name being followed in parenthesis by the name of the hardbound hymnal and number of the hymn in the hymnal.



* Note that a number of these hymn names appear multiple times as they are contained in more than one hymnal. Often these are very similar to each other with perhaps only several notes and/or a verse or two being different. Also note that not all the hymns in the supported hymnals are contained in the Christian Virtual Hymnal. Hymns under copyright are not included. This means that roughly only about half the hymns in any of the supported hymnals are included in this product.
