Study hymnal
Study hymnal is an application powered by cordova that uses the most comprehensive database of hymns and tunes used by advent believers from 1843 to-date.
Its name -Study Hymnal
- implies that it is designed to be more that just a tool for displaying songs. But just as the Bible is to be studied with the help of marginal references and a concordance, this application is designed to help the seeker after truth to be, like Wycliffe, 'a keen detector of error'. By seeing the changes in the words of the songs (mostly changes toward ecumenism), changes in keys (changes in music), changes in tunes (changes in music), removal of stanzas and addition of other stanzas, we hope this will be a good starting point to help the user of this application to 'seek the old paths' as we continue to add other features.
Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set
