Although most hymns are in English, there is a section containing hymn lyrics from 67 other languages.

Hymns may be searched by title, scriptural allusion, tunes by meter, tunes by name, topic, and people. From the Downloads section, one can download in ZIP files music in the form of MIDI files (audio) and Noteworthy scores (print). Other sections of the website include Trivia, Pictures (of hymn authors and composers), FAQ, Popular Hymns, Bibliography, and suggestions on how to best use the hymns.
-
Large selection of downloadable Christian hymns unrestricted by denomination.

The ability to download and view the music is dependent upon you owning the software called Noteworthy. The software is available for a free trial (for Windows operating systems only). Downloads are not hymn-specific; one must download ZIP files which contain many hymn files.
