Philocrites : Liberal Religion 1.20.03

Please select a hymn. I began writing hymn texts and tunes in 1998 while studying at Harvard Divinity School. My senior thesis in 1999 included seven original texts and tunes. Thanks to the advocacy of several classmates, my hymns have been introduced to a number of congregations.

Please use my hymns! Copies of individual hymns with tunes are available upon request. Worship leaders are welcome to use these hymns in services — with acknowledgement — but please flatter the author by letting me know that you are using them. Copyright © 1998-2002 by Christopher L.
