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 - sometimes in a limited setting. Many such hymns are old/traditional - but where possible a variety of styles and genres are included.
A small selection of hymns which are still copyright may also be included, if they 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:
Isaiah 5:1-7 - The prophet compares a vineyard which yields
wild-grapes to the ... vineyard of the LORD of hosts; The people of Judah are
his planting; he expected justice, but saw bloodshed; righteousness, but heard
a cry!
OR Jeremiah 23: 23-29 - Am I a God near by,
says the LORD, and not a God far off? ... Let the prophet who has a dream tell
the dream, but let the one who has my word speak my word faithfully. ... Is
not my word like fire... and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?
Second:
Hebrews 11:29 - 12:2 - We should throw off anything that hinders - especially sin - and keep running steadily in the race. Let us not lose sight of Jesus.
Gospel:
Luke 12:49-56 - I am here to bring division / fire on the earth:-
households will be divided against themselves - sons against fathers, mothers
against daughters.
