This year we won’t have anyone jumping up and down at the front calling the shots. With that in mind I’ve made a special edition of the songbook with just the songs and verses we’ll be singing in the order they’ll be sung. It’s also going to be a bit shorter. It’s too big to distribute via e-mail so I’ve put it here for now.
Right click on each link to download.
Words and (basic) sheet music – PDF
2020 Special edition words – Download and print a copy for each person to use (or load it onto your favourite device and save a few trees)

Just in case some of the tunes are unfamiliar (what do they teach them in school these days)…

Words and Music – This is an old version of the song book so the order wont match the new 2020 special edition. In some cases the lyrics in the two versions are different (you have no idea how difficult it was to get the right music in the first place, let alone the right words on the same sheet). If there is a difference the “Words” version will be the one used.
