%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % % This file is a part of the Open Hymnal Project to create a freely % distributable, downloadable database of Christian hymns, spiritual % songs, and prelude/postlude music. This music is to be distributed % as complete scores (words and music), using all accompaniment parts, % in formats that are easily accessible on most computer OS's and which % can be freely modified by anyone. The current format of choice is the % "ABC Plus" format, favored by folk music distributors on the internet. % All scores will also be converted into pdf, MIDI, and mp3 formats. % Some advanced features of ABC Plus are used, and for accurate % translation to a printed score, please consider using "abcm2ps" % version 4.10 or later. I am doing my best to create a final product % that is "Hymnal-quality", and could feasibly be used as the basis for % a printed church hymnal. % % The maintainer of the Open Hymnal Project is Brian J. Dumont (brian % dot j dot dumont at gmail dot com). I have gone through serious efforts % to make sure that no copyright mistakes make it into this database. % If I am in error, please inform me as soon as possible. % % This entire effort has used only free software, and I am indebted to % the efforts of many other individuals, including the authors of % the various ABC and ABC Plus software. Undoubtedly, I am also indebted % to all of the great Christians who wrote these hymns. % % This database comes with no guarantees whatsoever. % % I would love to get email from anyone who uses the Open Hymnal, and % I will take requests for hymns to add. My decision of whether to % add a hymn will be based on these criteria (in the following order): % 1) It must be in the public domain or freely distributable % 2) It must be a Christian piece % 3) Whether I have access to a printed copy of the music (surprisingly, % a MIDI file is usually a terrible source) % 4) Whether I like the hymn :) % % If you would like to contribute to the Open Hymnal Project, please % send an email to me, I would love the help! PLEASE EMAIL ME IF YOU % FIND ANY MISTAKES, no matter how small. I want to ensure that every % slur, stem, hyphenation, and punctuation mark is correct; and I'm sure % that there must be mistakes right now. % % Open Hymnal Project, 2012 Edition % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % PAGE LAYOUT % %%pagewidth 21.6000cm %%pageheight 27.9000cm %%scale 0.750000 %%staffsep 1.600000cm %%sysstaffsep 0.00000cm %%exprabove false %%measurebox false %OHSCRIP Hab 2:20, 2Sam 22:7, Ps 48:9-10, Rev 7:9-12, Is 6:2-3 %OHTOPICS {Angels [2,3]}, {Art and Music [2]}, {Church in Heaven (Church Victorious/Church Triumphant) [2]}, {Church on Earth (Church Militant) [3]}, {God, As King}, {God, Majesty & Power of}, {Holiness}, {Humility}, {Jesus [2]}, {Praise, Father}, {Praise, Holy Spirit}, {Praise, Son}, {Presence}, {Reverence}, {Trinity}, {Worship} %OHCATEGORY OPENING SONGS %OHMETRICAL 6 6 8 6 6 8 6 6 6 %OHCOMPLEXITY 2 %OHCOMPOSER Neander, Joachim (1650-1680) %OHARRANGER unknown %OHAUTHOR Tersteegen, Gerhard (1697-1769) %OHTRANSLATOR Foster, Frederick William (1760-1835);Miller, John (1756-1790) %%postscript /st { moveto -8 0 rmoveto 0 8 rlineto 4 0 rlineto stroke } def %%postscript /nd { moveto -8 0 rmoveto 0 8 rlineto -4 0 rlineto stroke } def %%deco sintro 6 st 6 0 0 %%deco eintro 6 nd 6 0 0 X: 1 T: God Himself is Present T: (also known as God Himself is With Us or God Reveals His Presence or Lo!
