Ed,
What I used at my last church which didn't have any music was set up a 
quick PC with some speakers.  There's are *HUGE* repositories of 
Christian midi files available for accompaniment on the Internet.  Just 
download a days worth of hymns and play them on off of the computer!
It worked great for me for quite a long time!
