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, or may be, still copyright are also included where they are a particularly good fit for the theme(s).
Suggestions about hymns that could be included are welcome: leave a message in the Comment box near the bottom of this page.
Readings
1st Amos 7:12-15 - Amos explains that he didn't decide to be a prophet by himself, but that he did what God told him to do, even though the establishment didn't want him there.Psalm 84: Let us see, O Lord, your mercy and give us your saving help / I will hear what the Lord will say / Mercy and faithfulness have met / The Lord will make us prosper
2nd - Ephesians 1:3-14 - a poetic description of the beautiful way God deals with us - God chose us as His own.
Gospel - Mark 6:7-13 - Jesus sends the disciples out in pairs, taking nothing with them, to preach repentance and to heal — in the same way that the prophets did of old.
