Can anyone tell me if there are books which give the guitar chords for Redemption or Sankey hymns? I have tried locally but can only find staff or solfa neither of which my friend can use, he would include some of my favourites if we could get a book with chords.

I have some of these in a set I got off the rack at the local Christian bookstore, called the Country & Western Gospel Hymnals. This wonderful and BADLY mistitled collection (4 or 5 volumes) has lots of old-time and southern gospel hymns, with 4-part harmonies and chords included. These have audio tapes-- not every tune is included but some that you want may be.

There are also some Sankey pieces in the Gaither Homecoming series songbooks (also 4 or 5 volumes). The Gaither people also have other sets of songbooks, but I do not know if chords are included. The Homecoming stuff (videos, CD/tapes) are LOADED with thre old stuff.

Now Alfred Brumley stuff, including Brumley arragements of Sankey et al, are in a set of little Brumley books I have.

Then there is a Hal Leonard Paperback Hymnal that, as I recall, includes Sankey and Fanny Crosby and all sorts of old greats.

Please let me know if more info is needed and I will try to supply it. My resources are all at home, and I'se at work, so please let me know what you need specifically and I will lug it into work to help if I can!

Wonderful stuff. What are you planning on doing with it? We use it in our Saturday night service, Episcopal church, very laid back service. And in our song circles.

Your enthusiasm frightens me Praise. I liked the Guest title but I broke down and joined Mudcat, so, you can PM me anytime.

Thanks that's a great help. I will pass these on to Dade who will then have no excuse for not playing "Proper Hymns" Tongue in cheek haven't learned all those shorthand thingies yet.
