Most are free-to-use, 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 of these hymns are old/traditional - but where possible a variety of styles and genres are included. A small selection of hymns that are still subject to copyright may also be included, if they are particularly relevant.
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.
Psalm: 49 - I will show God's salvation to the upright / The God of gods, the Lord / Were I hungry I would not tell you / Pay you sacrifice of thanksgiving to God
Second: Romans 4:18-25 - Abraham believed and drew strength from faith - and so became the father of many nations
Gospel: Matthew 9:9-19 - Jesus calls Matthew from beside the custom house - and later eats dinner with tax collectors and sinners. He explains that he does so because it is not the healthy who need a doctor - what I want is mercy, not sacrifice.
