HYMNSCRIPT’S FREE SONG SHEETS are a wonderful way to learn a new hymn or memorize another verse of a familiar one.

Each song sheet showcases several verses of a hymn using elegant, easy-to-read typography and a bold clip of the Hymnscript artwork that was inspired by that hymn. They look great printed in color or in basic laserprint black.

SONG SHEETS ARE FOR SHARING! We encourage you to share these song sheets—really! We just ask that you abide by the Creative Commons License (more information at left).

Hymnscript’s free song sheets contain two copies per page, so it’s easy to keep one and share one with a friend. Print a bunch for your Sunday School class or small group. Or print enough to insert into the Sunday morning bulletin!

More about Song Sheets

Dating to the sixteenth century in the British Isles, song sheets first became popular in the United States in the early 1800s. Their rich American history is chronicled by The Library of Congress’ American Memory collection in an article entitled “America Singing.”

Today, as in the past, song sheets are like little seeds with which to plant a song. We hope Hymnscript’s song sheets will encourage you to dig into the classic hymns of the Christian faith and discover the truths they so eloquently and passionately tell.
