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 such hymns are old / traditional - but where possible a variety of styles and genres are included.
A small selection of hymns that 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.

So the people [..] believed in the Lord and in his servant Moses.Genesis 50:15-21 - After their father's death, Joseph's brothers begged him for forgiveness, saying "We are here as your slaves." Joseph replied ... have no fear; I myself will provide for you and your little ones."
Second: Romans 14: 1-12 - The life and death of each of us has influence on others ... dead or alive we belong to the Lord.
Gospel: Matthew 18: 21-35 - Jesus tells Peter that he must forgive seventy times seven, and recounts the parable of the servant whose debts were forgiven, but who then did not forgive the debts that were owed to him.
