The Digital Hymnbook

Please note that this is a separate product and is not included in the IDEAS package

Where possible we have provided video samples for this week's lectionary so you can hear how the song sounds, but you will need a full IDEAS subscription to download the whole video.

If you want to try out a couple of files to see how it works and see how we have developed this version from the original CDs take a look at our Free Zone. We also offer some other resources in that area.

You can buy access to all the resources on this page by simply clicking on the PayPal symbol on the right. This costs just £49

On the final confirmation page from PayPal, make sure that you click on "Return to the Family Friendly Church web site" to get the Username and Password. We will also send them to you in a confirmation email. This is a one of payment and you will have permanent access to this page and to the additional hymns and songs that we will add.

Please see our terms and conditions.

Suggested Songs for Advent 4, December 22nd, 2024
There are vidoes of the songs and many more resources for this week, Advent 4 (Year C)

This is the Standard version of The DigitalHymnbook, but we are now working on a Widescreen Version. Converting the files is a massive job so they will be added as they appear in the main IDEAS resources. This means that the recommended songs each week should also be offered in the Widescreen format and the number of songs in Widescreen will grow as they are added each week
See the Widescreen version here
