Thread Name: The Cyberhymnal - new URL
Subject: RE: CyberHymnal hacked, missing or deceased?-now O
So the www.cyberhymnal.org URL now forwards you to www.his-net.com.

HIS-net, indeed.

Pretty UN-Christianlike to bump the CyberHymnal folks so unceremoniously. *hrmph*

I'll be happy when the new site is fully functional. As a music supervisor, I use them extensively, as they have done impeccable research on the origins of the hymns and variations. They have saved me lots of time over the years, since I have yet to find one instance where their info has been incorrect.

Besides, I can get lyrics for sing-a-longs, etc. so everyone is (literally) on the same page. :)

And to quote Joni Mitchell: "Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?"

I, too, went into severe panic/loss mode when I discovered it missing, and thanks to y'all here at Mudcat (a fun resource), I found the new link & info on what had happened.

Thanks!
