Smart Hymnals

Smart tools for hymn pages: multilingual lyrics side by side, syllable-accurate repeat chords, and Chinese-English alignment.

Read hymns on Hymnal.Net better with three smart tools, all on the page: Multilingual lyrics — a button beside the site's Text / Text+ / Chords controls shows any available translation (e.g. Chinese, Tagalog) side by side with the page's own language. No separate tabs, no copy-paste. Repeat chords — carries the chords printed over verse 1 through every stanza of the hymn, so you can play straight through. On both Hymnal.net and Songbase.life Smart align — merges Chinese lines so the two columns read across line for line. The site's own key-transpose control keeps working and retunes everything at once. Your language and view choices are remembered between hymns.
