Hymns

There is a rich heritage of songs written by Christians, our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, that have gone before us. Singing hymns corporately is a great reminder of this fact: that God has been working and saving people for many hundreds and thousands of years!

To use the arrangements above, the original tune and/or lyrics (as applicable) need to be out of copyright (ie. in the public domain) in the country where you wish to use the music. Copyright laws vary greatly. However, works enter the public domain 70 years after the death of the author in most countries.

To help, in the table above I've indicated whether the songs are cleared for use in Australia, America, and the United Kingdom. Below is a summary of the copyright laws in these three areas.

There is, however, copyright in these arrangements. Please feel free to use these songs in your church! But please report all photocopying and usage to CCLI.
If you have any difficulty reporting your usage to CCLI please let me know.
