1. The Hymn Library — Public Domain
The hymn texts in our hymn library are in the public domain. Every one is taken from a hymnal published before 1931, and works published before 1931 are out of copyright in the United States. Each hymn page names the hymnal and year its text came from, and our sources and methodology page explains how texts are selected and how modernized or edited versions are excluded.
You may print, project, perform and record these hymns freely — in services, classes, printed orders of service and recordings — without asking permission or paying a fee. The chord charts we add follow the traditional harmony and are offered on the same terms.
Outside the United States, copyright usually lasts for the author's lifetime plus seventy years. If you are publishing outside the US, check the author's dates for any hymn written close to 1930.
This status applies to the hymn texts and their chord charts only. The rest of the site, including the design and software of the hymn pages themselves, is covered by the sections below.
2. Worship Song Lyrics
The worship lyrics in Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu are the copyrighted property of their songwriters, composers and publishers. YeshuaNow does not own them and shares them for worship, devotion and study. Displaying a song here is not a licence to reproduce, record or sell it — for those uses, contact the rights holder.
3. Bible Text
Scripture in the Bible reader and elsewhere on the site comes from many translations, and each is subject to the terms of its publisher. The reader names the translation on every chapter, so you can check the terms that apply before reusing a passage.
4. Kids' Activities
You may print our coloring pages, word searches and quizzes for use at home, in class and in church, as many times as you need. Please do not sell them or republish them as your own.
5. Our Own Content
Articles, devotionals, site design, software and Scripture Art templates are © YeshuaNow unless otherwise stated. You are welcome to quote a short passage with a link back to the page it came from; please ask before republishing more. Artwork you create with the Scripture Art Generator is covered by our Terms and Conditions.
