Welcome to HymnWiki
About HymnWiki
HymnWiki is a site dedicated to hymns, children's songs (those associated with churches and religion), religious anthems, church music, other music commonly grouped with hymns, and compilations of such. HymnWiki aims to categorize most of the hymns in existence, as well as to host sheet music, MIDI files and lyrics for as many of these as legally possible. HymnWiki is for hymns of all faiths notwithstanding there is a large focus on the music and poetry of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, past, present and future. HymnWiki began in April of 2007. See About HymnWiki for more information. If you are a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and would like to use HymnWiki for church purposes, review the Helps for Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints first.
Announcements
- To avoid broken links in future, I'm phasing out most new external links on HymnWiki, except with regard to public domain media, such as scanned hymnals. If you want to add external links, please (where possible) archive them at Archive.org, first (and use the archive link). Try to avoid linking to sites that don't let you archive their pages. The reason is to avoid unnecessary work in the future: If you feel it's vastly important for some reason, go ahead. Links to media on Archive.org are just fine.
- Terminology and articles have finally been updated to reflect President Russell M. Nelson's October 2018 talk on the name of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. If you find any I missed, please let us know on the discussion board.
- The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has announced that they are going to create a new hymnal and a new children's songbook. We don't know when, but it could be soon.
