Hymns about temperance

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

It does not include rousing anti-alcohol songs produced by the "temperance movement" in the late 18th to early 20th centuries:  They are are narrowly focused on alcohol, and rarely suitable for church-use today.  And there are many 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 has 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

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