Can you please open source the hymnals text themselves.

@TinasheMzondiwa Thanks for open-sourcing the Android app, this is awesome.
I've been using the app for years, so it's nice to be able to play with the source code.
I would be very happy and thankful if you open-source hymnal texts as well.
There are many cases where having access to real text is essential.
- can simplify the editing of some typos in the Hymnals, i.e in Chichewa, Swahili (I happen to notice)
- support other developers who want to use the text in their apps (I am sure you don't mind sharing)
- others can just contribute to this CIS app to add other CIS hymnals in other languages.
I have one in Kirundi am willing to add to the app instead of developing a whole new app just for the language.
I am sure this can help the app reach in the long run.
Let me know what you think.
Again nice work you've been doing. I appreciate it.
@shaselle I don't have the text files in this repo because I store them in firebase.
That way I can correct mistakes without the need for an app update.
I am not sure about publishing the files because I have been contacted by the Church before claiming copyright issues.
I can send you all the files I have if you need them. Just send me an email.

Cool, Thanks Will just do that then.
