Software for Sheet Music + Lyrics to be converted to slides for screens?

I am aware of different music transcription editors (Musescore, Dorico, etc) which could be used to manually export images of transcribed sheet music which could then be brought into slideshow software (which would be a long manual process for many selections) to show on screens for crowds singing along. However, I am wondering if there is a software that can help with this (see example at bottom of post of what I am trying to accomplish).

The reason why I ask, is because I am setting up lyric slides+videos (just lyrics, no sheet music shown on slides) for many Christian worship songs that are all in the public domain, and I would rather have software that can produce such for this purpose, instead of doing this manually. We have already transcribed music into Musescore for many hundreds of selections. Even if I did do that, I would need to convert all of our existing work to be multiple files copies to be re-worked to have just one verse line at a time (which is not long/hard for each one, but we are dealing with scale of hundreds here).

Note: I reached out to Hymnary dot org which has for some songs a playable web thing on their My.Hymnary platform (but they emailed me back saying such was custom software developed), see example of this with the song Amazing Grace: https://my.hymnary.org/song/dynamic/1/amazing_grace_how_sweet_the_sound?toolkit=veroviostatic&hymnary=1

Does anyone have any leads on this? I am probably willing to pay for the software too, does not have to be free software either. Thanks!
