NOTE that the list presents the copyright status, as we understand it, for the WORDS of the items. It does not cover copyright issues connected with the music. NOTE ALSO that, as much of the earlier part of this list was constructed well after - sometimes several years after - the services concerned were presented, we have not always been able to identify the precise source of the words we have used. There will therefore sometimes be differences between the text given in the service script and that found in the reference cited. This has been a particular trouble with older hymns because of the recent mania for "bringing them up to date" - see, for example, this footnote. We have nevertheless included the items, if only as a source of the music. |

FOOTNOTES
"Hymns for Today's Church" and "( Complete Anglican ) Hymns Old and New" :
We have used a few hymns from these hymnbooks : from "Hymns for Today's Church" because it's convenient, it covers a wide range, and we have one; and, later, from "Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New" because we were presented with enough copies for our congregation. Many of the hymns in these books have been rewritten so that modern people can understand them. ( Are these the same modern people who are expected to cope easily with hundreds of strange new words connected with the internet ? ) The modified hymns are now subject to copyright owned by Jubilate Hymns or Kevin Mayhew Ltd..
We have therefore often felt obliged to omit them from this site, despite the fact that many are versions of excellent hymns which have been sung for a long time. We have occasionally included the words of a hymn from this book either because we deem the changes to be minor, or by our carelessness; please point out any instances which you feel should not have appeared here, whereupon we shall take appropriate action.
There is some disagreement as to the author of the text of this hymn. "Susan Warner" was the first I found, but the five versions immediately accessible to me are :
| Source | Author | |
| Golden Bells | A. N. | |
| Alexander's Hymns No. 3 | Emily H. Miller | |
| Redemption Songs | Susan Warner | |
| Methodist School Hymnal | Susan Warner | |
| Sunday School Hymnary | Emily H. Miller |
Take your pick ?
