[Geza Vermes' translation](The Complete Dead Sea Scrolls in English: Seventh Edition https://www.amazon.ca/dp/0141197315/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_S4tNybVNACXJ7) has all the non biblical texts, including the hymns.

And yeah, the Scrolls exhibit came to my neck of the woods when I was a kid, and I way-too-briefly saw them again in Jerusalem a couple of years ago. Hope to see them again soon.

The edition I use is Wise/Abegg/Cook, which I switched to after deciding that my trusty Vermes was a bit stilted and not easy enough to navigate for as frequently as I consult the Dead Sea Scrolls (which lately has been just about weekly); I'm not too familiar with Martinez but see it cited enough in academic literature to make me think it wouldn't be a bad choice either.

What your mom might really enjoy, though, is Catholic scholar John Bergsma's recent book Jesus and the Dead Sea Scrolls: Revealing the Jewish Roots of Christianity. (Haven't read it myself, but Bergsma's reputation carries some heft.)
