Thanks John! I have printed lyrics (songbooks) here: https://spiritualeldercare.com/portfolio/hymnals/ These are lyrics only, not the sheet music. I didn’t use any one hymnal; I tried to create a collection using songs from different denominations. See https://spiritualeldercare.com/2019/03/12/how-did-i-choose-hymns-for-the-hymns-for-alz-project/
If you’re looking for videos of the songs (with very easy-to-read lyrics), check my YouTube channel: YouTube.com/spiritualeldercare. Blessings!
