Hymns about temperance

Labels: ,
This is a list of hymns about temperance, or which are suitable for Temperance Sunday or church services with a temperance-related theme.

It does not include the rousing anti-alcohol songs which were produced by the "temperance movement" from the late 18th to early 20th centuries:  They are are narrowly focused on alcohol, and rarely suitable for church-services today.  (And there are plenty of other websites about them.)

Instead, it focusses on moderation and themes that recovering addicts find helpful (eg surrendering to God, living life day-by-day).

The list is in two parts:   free-use materials can be freely used with no concerns about copyright (because they are in the public domain), and hymns that may still be copyright depending on the laws in your country.

Please leave a message in the Comments box near the bottom of the page to suggest other suitable hymns.
