Are these hymns really free to use?

Yes. Every hymn on this page is verified public domain, meaning the copyright has expired. You can freely print, project, transpose, and use them in church services without needing a CCLI license or any other permission.

How do I know if a hymn is public domain?

In the US, works published before 1928 are generally public domain. Works by authors who died more than 70 years ago are also public domain in most countries. Every hymn on WorshipChordBook has been individually verified before being listed here.

Can I transpose these hymns to a different key?

Yes. Every hymn has a full chord chart you can transpose using the built-in transpose tool on the hymn page. Select any key and the chords update instantly. You can also use Stage Mode for a fullscreen auto-scroll view on stage.

What is the difference between hymns and modern worship songs?

Hymns on this page are public domain compositions, typically written before the 20th century. Modern worship songs are under active copyright and require a CCLI license for congregational use. We list chord charts for both, but only hymns include full lyrics.

Can I print these hymn chord charts for my worship team?

Yes. Since all hymns here are public domain, you are free to print and distribute them to your worship team at no cost and with no licensing requirements.
