Churches to Sing From Digital Hymn Sheets
CHURCHES are being invited to join the digital revolution by downloading digital hymn books.
The innovation could spell the end for the traditional hymn book and church organ.
Publisher HarperCollins is launching a digital version of Mission Praise, the best-selling collection of worship songs.
Song sheets and accompanying musical backing tracks will be available for download.
Churches will be able to create electronic playlists for their orders of service.
The words can be printed off and handed out to the congregation or displayed on video screens, while the music can be played via iPods or computers.
The 1800 songs on www. missionpraise. com include The Lord's my Shepherd, Amazing Grace, Abide With Me and Rock Of Ages.
"Church services are set to be revolutionised, " a HarperCollins spokesman said.
"The site will provide an invaluable resource. We're hoping this will be a cost-effective offer to churches, schools and Sunday schools who can use the resource and tailor it to their specific needs."
