Copyright & Takedown

Last updated October 20, 2026

We respect the work of hymn writers, translators, composers and publishers. Many hymns here are in the public domain; where a work is still under copyright, we want the rights holder to be credited — or the work removed if they prefer.

How to send a copyright request

If you own the rights to a hymn, translation, transliteration or recording on this site — or are authorised to act for the owner — please write to us through our contact form. So that we can act quickly, include:

  1. your name and an email address where we can reach you;
  2. the work you hold rights in, and your relationship to it (author, publisher, or authorised representative);
  3. the page address (URL) on our site where it appears;
  4. what you would like us to do — credit you, correct the text, or remove it; and
  5. a statement that the information you have given is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorised to act for them.

What happens next

We review every request promptly. Where a request is clear, we will remove the material or disable access to it — or add the credit or correction you asked for — and reply to let you know. If we need more information to identify the work or confirm your rights, we will ask.

If your contribution was removed

If material you contributed was removed and you believe that was a mistake — for example, because the hymn is in the public domain or you have the rights holder’s permission — tell us through the contact form, explaining why. We will look at it again and may restore the material if the rights holder agrees or the work is clearly free to share.

Repeat infringement

We will stop accepting comments or contributions from anyone who repeatedly submits material they do not have the right to share.

Please be accurate

Only send a request for work you own or are authorised to act for, and make sure the details are correct. Knowingly false claims can have legal consequences. If you are unsure whether a use is infringing, please consider talking to a lawyer first.
