Hymns for Signing - American Sign Lanuage

Item #: B02
Company:  Abingdon Press
Author:  Curt D. Keller, Editor

This hymn book was developed to provide persons with hearing impairments access to hymns as they are sung. Many words and concepts in hymns do not exist in American Sign Language (ASL); signers must translate hymns used in worship into ASL prior to the service. This text-only edition is primarily for signers to use in worship or other church settings.

American Sign Language: A Comprehensive Dictionary by Martin L.A. Sternberg, Ed.D. has been the resource book used for this hymnal. This dictionary is available at this on-line store under DICTIONARIES. In Hymns For Signing the numbers in parentheses refer to the meaning of the word found in the above dictionary. Some words have several concepts associated with them and this numbering system is used to help clarify which concept if there is a question.
