I'm new to using the hymnary.org and the My.Hymnary.org websites so I might be asking an easy question. I found the above mentioned hymn that is currently printed in The Trinity Hymnal. It's in the public domain. I thougth I would be able to find a PDF version of the hmyn to use in Sunday AM worship. When I download a file or try to print a PDF version, I get different verses that what are printed in the Trinity Hymnal. Any suggestions as to what I might not be doing correctly?

Blessing and Honor - Trinity Hymnal
You are not doing anything incorrectly. Most of the public domain hymns and presentations in My.Hymnary are not currently hymnal specific. We used our current FlexScores to make the presentations, so "Blessing and Honor" most likely has the words from the "Glory to God" hymnal, as that is the only hymnal that has a FlexScore. It looks like the tune arrangement in Trinity Hymnal is copyrighted; but the tune O QUANTA QUALIA is public domain and is the tune used in "Glory to God" You can purchase the FlexScore of O QUANTA QUALIA and then make a custom score with the words from the Trinity Hymnal
Is it a goal to make hymnal
Is it a goal to make hymnal specific presentations in my.hymnary? Is that something volunteer editors can contribute?
My.Hymnary - hymnal specific presentations
It is our goal to eventually involve volunteers to make hymnal specific presentations, but we are not at this point yet.
