Would you like your unpublished Hymns here together with mine? Send them to me, together with a link to the tune or the name of the tune, or a small audio file, and I would be pleased to host them if they are in the same vein as these. I would like in particular hymns which you have written but in the style of the older hymnwriters, with plenty of thees-and-thous, guerdons and languishing. Not only do I prefer this, but also there are plenty of other sites which cater for new modern Christian hymns and choruses, so I would prefer to dedicate this one to a revival of old style hymnwriting, but by contemporary authors. I will publish up to ten from each author. Please also give a little autobiography if you don't mind and the year, maybe even month and place you wrote the Hymn, and any notes you want to say about it.
As relates to Copyright, I am suggesting that publishers of hymn books may freely use the content here, as long as the source is acknowledged, and the editing kept to a bare minimum. If anyone else is put off submitting hymns because they want to keep their copyright more strictly than that, let me know, and that will be made clear next to each such Hymn you do decide to submit here.
You can also post your Hymns, of any style, up on the Bulletin Board
