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 that are still copyright, but are a particularly good fit for the day's readings, are also included.
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.

Can I request an index for the sundays in the form of a liturgical calendar? It would be SUPER useful to be able to go to a page where I can select the date in parts (Year C, Advent, 3rd Sunday, for example) rather than go to the one that's a few weeks in advance and then step through one by one. Maybe you've already made such a thing and I just haven't been able to find it yet...
