Both the MIDI file and the “Recording” of Richard Smallwood's I LOVE THE LORD, HE HEARD MY CRY are extremely truncated, basically just giving the first line. Why?
These files come from a couple of hymnals that have antiphonal refrains with the first line of the hymn. Music files linked at the top of automatically generated using available music files, usually selected because we have more resources from some hymnals. The best way to find music files is to got to the Media section on the page and see what is available under the Audio tab.
I just wish there was a design element that would deprecate such autogeneration when a full-tune version is available. I usually have no great need for audio files, but when I do this sort of thing slows me down, and makes me worry about church folks who come here with a great need for such a file and relatively little acquaintance with the fine points of the database interface.
I thought I was buying power point files with audio embedded. But it is just a lot of slides with the words and music on them. I don't need the music and I can easily make slides with words. I really need mp3 files to put into power point and that is what I thought I was getting. This site is not clear and is extremely confusing.
The descriptions on the PowerPoints explicitly state that they do not include audio. We have MP3 files for most of the public domain hymns. If you want to accompany singing the best recordings are those made by Small Church Music. Look for them under the Audio tab in the Media section. They are free to download. There are also presentations on our sister website My.Hymnary which have synthesized music embedded; or the option of downloading or playing a Small Church Music recording. These are also free t download.

I suspected as much
