When I was a handbell choir director, I arranged hymns for our bell choir to accompany the congregation singing. I share this handbell sheet music with you so your bell choir can also be more involved in your worship services.
All these hymns are in public domain; my arrangements are in public domain. There are no copyright issues for you to deal with in order to use this music. Simply select the sheet music file you want, download it, print it out, and make as many copies as you need. The arrangements are based on hymns in Lutheran Service Book which is the hymnal we use at my church. So, in the list below, the titles start with the hymn number. The list also identifies the hymn tune name, the number of bell octaves used and other instruments in the arrangement.
If you don’t see a hymn you need, send me a message via the Contact Me page. We’ll discuss options in getting that done for you.
If you benefit from the free hymn arrangements posted here on WordPress, please make a donation to the music ministry of Faith Lutheran Church, 3000 Northwest Loop, Stephenville, TX 76401.

The list below was last updated on June 16, 2021; no new arrangements added since then. (Since my current music ministry does not include handbells, my focus has been on organ arrangements.)
