%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % % 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 (editor % at openhymnal dot org). 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, 2025 Edition % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % PAGE LAYOUT % %%pagewidth 21.6000cm %%pageheight 27.9000cm %%scale 0.650000 %%staffsep 0.0000cm %%lineskipfac 0.85 %%exprabove false %%measurebox false %OHSCRIP Heb 9:28, Is 53:4-6, 1Pt 2:24, Mt 26:28, Rom 5:15 %OHTOPICS {Atonement}, {Blood [2]}, {Commitment}, {Cross}, {Eternal Life [16]}, {Following Jesus, Sanctification}, {God, Love of}, {God, Mercy of}, {Grace}, {Gratitude}, {Humility}, {Jesus}, {Repentance}, {Salvation}, {Sinners}, {Submission (see also Following Jesus, God - Providence of, Trust)} %OHCATEGORY GOOD FRIDAY %OHMETRICAL 7 7 6 7 7 8 %OHCOMPLEXITY 3 %OHCOMPOSER Isaac, Heinrich (1450-1517) %OHARRANGER Bach, Johann Sebastian (1685-1750) %OHAUTHOR Gerhardt, Paul (1607-1676) %OHTRANSLATOR Kelly, John (1833-1890) %%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 %%setfont-1 Symbol 13 %%setfont-2 Times-Roman 13 X: 1 T: Upon The Cross Extended T: (also known as See, World!
