How to Download a File ▲

The in­struct­ions be­low ap­ply to any file for which we pro­vide a link (un­der­lined in blue).

Site Index ▲

To down­load the site in­dex, click here. This file in­cludes an in­dex of hymn ti­tles, and shows the name of the MI­DI file used as the pri­ma­ry tune for each hymn.

Archive Format ▲

The ar­chive files linked be­low were cre­at­ed with a tool called 7-Zip, which com­press­es files to save space. Most of these files can be opened with oth­er tools as well, such as Win­Zip. How­ev­er, if you want to use 7-Zip it­self, you can down­load for free at 7-Zip.org. Note: We do not own or con­trol 7-Zip. Please di­rect any quest­ions on it to its cre­at­ors at their Web site.

MIDI Files ▲

If you want MI­DI files for a small number of spe­ci­fic hymns, most brows­ers let you do this by right clic­king the 🔊 sym­bol. To get com­pressed ar­chives with our MI­DI files, click the file names below. The files are di­vid­ed in­to small chunks to make them ea­si­er to down­load (you don’t lose as much if your con­nect­ion goes down in mid-trans­fer).

Note: Some files have an ad­di­tion­al or­gan ver­sion. When pre­sent, this is a file of the same name, with an suf­fix of -o.

Scores ▲

If you want scores (sheet mu­sic) for a small num­ber of spe­ci­fic hymns, click the (PDF) or (NWC) icon on in­di­vi­dual pag­es. To down­load com­pressed ar­chives with our scores in NWC for­mat, click the file names be­low.

Notes

• Scores are av­ail­able in Adobe Por­ta­ble Do­cu­ment For­mat (PDF) & Note­Wor­thy Com­pos­er (NWC) for­mat. To read the PDF files, you’ll need Ado­be Ac­ro­bat View­er. For the NWC files, you can down­load soft­ware to view, print and ed­it them with Note­Wor­thy Com­pos­er, from Not­eWor­thy Sof­tware. Note: We do not sell or give tech­ni­cal sup­port for NWC. Please di­rect any ques­tions about NWC to Note­Wor­thy Sof­tware.
• If your mu­sic no­ta­tion soft­ware can read MusicXML, you can co­nvert NWC files to Mu­sicXML with the pro­gram found here.
• If you’re look­ing for a sp­eci­fic piece of mu­sic and don’t find it in the Cy­ber Hym­nal™, check out the Note­Wor­thy Com­pos­er Scrip­to­ri­um; it has thous­ands of NWC files from ma­ny com­pos­ers and genres.
• Many scores do not in­clude lyrics, since many tunes can be used with dif­fer­ent sets of ly­rics (i.e., are used for more than one hymn). You can ea­si­ly co­py and paste lyr­ics from in­di­vi­du­al hymn pag­es.
