A selection of English-language hymns and song suggestions for use at events associated with Divine Mercy devotions.Most are free-to-use (ie public domain or copyright-free) meaning that 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 which are still copyright, but are particularly suitable for the devotion, are also included.
