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. Many such hymns are old/traditional - but where possible a variety of styles / genres are included.
A small selection of hymns which are still copyright, but are a particularly good fit for the day's readings, are also included.
Readings
First: Job 7:1-4, 6-7 - Is not ... life on earth nothing more than pressed service? .... Restlessly I fret 'till twilight falls ... swifter than a weaver's shuttle my days have passed.
Psalm: 146 - Praise the Lord who heals the broken-hearted / Praise the Lord for he is good / The Lord builds up Jerusalem / Our Lord is great and almighty.
Second: I Corinthians 9 16-19, 22-23 - Paul says "I should be punished if I did not preach the Gospel ... I have made myself the slave of everyone so as to win as many as I could ....
Gospel: Mark 1 29-39 -Jesus heals: firstly Simon's mother-in-law of a fever, and then many in the town who were suffering diseases or possessed. Then he goes to a lonely place to pray - and then to the neighbouring towns to preach there too.

Themes
Jesus as healer - heals the broken so they are free to serve God and God's people. The pain of suffering. The hope which healing brings. Without Christ, our lives are like drudgery.Free-use artwork
