Good resources Tony. Actually this is a Presbyterian Church USA so
different denomination.
I think they use the more traditional hymns, but shall keep looking. Thank
you for these wonderful resources.

Hi Shelley. I will address your questions below.

I don't know, but you can try these sites. You might find
something. Also, I don't think PG has any hymnals exactly like what you
want but I'll look.

Both are Presbyterian, one is Orthodox, the other is Presbyterian Church of
America. You would have better luck with the OPC. They have doctrine
online but I don't think they have a hymnal.
Also, below is what PG has. The Lutheran hymns are similar, so you should
check there. I have a ton of them in MIDI format also but that's just
music.

The law says that dramatic works aren't allowed. That includes plays,
screen plays etc. That doesn't include sheet music. Speaking of music,
that reminds me. If you have access to Web-Braille, try this link. It is
just the raw directory I think but there is lots there. You will probably
find hymns.

Let me know if any of this is helpful. I would be interested in looking at
the hymnal if you find it online somewhere. The main problem I see is that
many of the recent hymns from 1922 on are still under copyright so can't be
legally posted online. Many hymns are very old though so might be fine.
