## What is Hymn Dictionary?

What is a bulwark? Why do we sing "here I raise my Ebenezer"? Hymn Dictionary explains every difficult word in the hymns of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, built from the LDS Hymn Dictionary by David D. Byrd and M. Ryan Byrd (2007).

BUILT FOR SUNDAY Open any hymn before you sing it and see its difficult words up front. Public-domain hymn texts appear verse by verse with tappable definitions right inside the lines.

THE COMPLETE DICTIONARY All 251 entries from the published book: plain definitions, real pronunciations (BUL-wark), grammar notes, and every hymn each word appears in. Tap the speaker to hear any word said aloud.

WORKS OFFLINE The entire dictionary and hymnbook index are on your phone. No account, no ads, nothing to set up. In a chapel with no signal, everything still works.

STUDY TOOLS A daily flashcard deck, curated collections (Sacrament, Christmas, rarest words), and saved words help you actually learn the language of the hymnal.

AI FALLBACK Type a word the book does not cover and the app writes a definition for you.
