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. And although many such hymns are old/traditional - but where possible a variety of styles / genres are included.
A small selection of hymns which are, or may be, still copyright are also included where they are a particularly good for for the theme(s).
About St Therese
Marie-Françoise-Thérèse Martin was born in 1873. After many struggles, she became a Discalced Carmelite (OCD) nun, and developed the "Little Way" - an approach to holiness based on smallness.She is officially known as Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face, and popular names for her include "The Little Flower of Jesus" or simply "The Little Flower". She became an influential model of holiness because of the
"simplicity and practicality of her approach to the spiritual life".
Because she lived so recently, many of the hymns directly about Therese are still copyright - but there are some older (and so public domain) hymns that reflect themes from her life. There are also a few hymns in popular use, for which the author is unknown.
Her feast is celebrated on 1 October each year.
