Most are free-to-use (ie public domain or copyright-free), so 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 may still be copyright are also included, if these 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.
Readings
First: Exodus 34:29-35 - Moses comes down from Mt Sinai with the commandments, and gives them to Aaron and the Israelites. After this, Moses veils his face, because it was shining from speaking with the Lord.Psalm 99 - The Lord is king; let the peoples tremble.
Second: 2 Corinthians 3:12-4:2 - .. we, with unveiled faces, see the glory of the Lord as though reflected in a mirror, we are transformed into the same image .... this comes from the Lord, the Spirit.
Gospel: Luke 9:28-36
Jesus takes Peter, James and John to a high mountain to pray, and there he is transfigured - Moses and Elijah appeared - a voice from the clouds says "This is my Son, the Beloved".
