Some notes:
----------
A canticle (from the Latin canticulum, a diminutive of canticum, "song") is a hymn, psalm or other song of praise taken from biblical or holy texts other than the Psalms. (Wikipedia)
----------
The "Hands of Praise" background to this site was created by my niece, Evelyn Nieuwenhuis.
----------
The fine print: These songs are licensed under the "no derivatives, non-commercial, creative commons license." In plain English this means you can use these songs freely at non-commercial events (worship service, wedding, funeral, choir performance, etc.). You can re-distribute a song but you can't change it or charge for it (beyond your expense). Please give credit to me as the original author of the work, state my name and the title of the song.
