HymnWiki is a site dedicated to hymns, children's songs (at least ones 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 [[HymnWiki:About|About HymnWiki]] for more information.  If you are a Latter-day Saint and would like to use HymnWiki for church purposes, review the [[HymnWiki:Latter-day Saint Helps|Latter-day Saint Helps]] first.
