All of these hymns and texts are part of the commons of the faith. They are drawn from tunes and texts in the public domain and published here under Creative Commons 3.0. They are posted here to prepare The Parish Book of English Hymns for hard-copy printing.

In the meantime, please feel free to print them, distribute them, publish them, record them, or use them in any way you choose. And please remember this universal rule concerning hymns, which are used far too abundantly in the common practice of all forms of the Roman Rite: in Mass hymns should not replace the propers, since chant has primacy of place all else equal.

If you would like to assist with this project, here is the hymn template for Finale. Be sure to establish that your choice of hymn can be placed in Creative Commons and is not otherwise under some copyright protection. Send to the page editor Noel Jones (gedeckt@usit.net)and Jonathan Eason (jonathaneason@yahoo.com). Newly composed hymn submissions should go to newhymns@musicasacra.com. It speeds up the process if new hymns are submitted in Finale, ST in Layer 1, AB in Layer 2: otherwise they go into a queue for transcription. Default text and lyric font should be Arrus.
