Hymns that are only suitable for Easter/ Resurrection Sunday are not included here: see Hymn-suggestions for Easter Sunday for them.
Most of these suggestions 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 whole season.
