%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % % 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, 2010 Edition % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % PAGE LAYOUT % %%pagewidth 21.6000cm %%pageheight 27.9000cm %%scale 0.7500000 %%staffsep 1.6000cm %%exprabove false %%measurebox false %OHSCRIP Ps 89:26, Deut 32:1-4, Hab 1:12, Jn 19:34, 1Cor 10:4, Heb 9:13-14 %OHTOPICS {Atonement}, {Baptism [3]}, {Blood [1]}, {Brevity of Life [4]}, {Conversion [3]}, {Cross [3]}, {Faith}, {God, As King [4]}, {God, Majesty & Power of}, {God, Mercy of}, {Grace}, {Holiness [1]}, {Jesus}, {Judgment [4]}, {Kindness, God's}, {Law [2]}, {Presence}, {Salvation}, {Sinners}, {Throne (also see God - As King) [4]}, {Trust}, {Zeal [2]} %OHCATEGORY JUSTIFICATION %OHMETRICAL 7 7 7 7 7 7 %OHCOMPLEXITY 1 %OHCOMPOSER Hastings, Thomas (1784-1872) %OHARRANGER unknown %OHAUTHOR Toplady, Augustus Montague (1740-1778) %OHTRANSLATOR none %%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: Rock of Ages C: Words: Augustus Montague Toplady, 1776.
