Most are free-to-use (ie public domain or copyright-free) meaning the words can be copied and sung to at least one tune with no concerns about copyright or performance licensing - sometimes in a limited setting. Many such hymns are old/traditional - but where possible a variety of styles and genres are included.
A small selection on hymns which are still copyright may also be included, if they are particularly appropriate.
Suggestions about other free-to-use hymns that could be included are welcome: leave a message in the Comments box near the bottom of the page.
Readings
First: Wisdom 9:13-18 - Who can know the intentions of God? ... Who could have learned you intention, had you not granted Wisdom?Psalm: 89 - O Lord you have been our refuge from one generation to the next / You turn men back into dust / You sweep men away like a dream / Make us know the shortness of our life / In the morning fill us with your love.
Second: Philemon 9:10, 12-17 - Paul sends Onesimus back to the community, not as a slave any more but as a dear brother in Christ. He asks the community to welcome him.
