Hymns — sources & licensing
A “canonical hymn” is one lyric work. Language versions, tunes and the instrumental / lyrics pairing on one recording are versions of that work — they are never counted as additional hymns.
1. Where the content comes from
- Words, tunes and settings. The English texts and the scores come from the Open Hymnal Project data (snapshot at commit
d35811b2d5c9, kept file by file with SHA-256 hashes). Every score file carries its own copyright statement; we read that statement per part — words, tune, setting — and never treat the project’s name as a licence. Only parts the file declares public domain, and whose authors are either dead for more than 70 years or whose work was dedicated to the public domain, are used; texts licensed “for Christian worship only” are excluded. Author, composer and translator lifetimes were checked by hand against Hymnary.org where the source left them open. Hymnary.org is used only to verify metadata; we do not bulk-copy its database, scores or recordings. - Instrumental recordings. Every instrumental in the library is synthesised in-house by SoulForge Tech LLC from the score (piano or organ timbre). Where the printed four-part setting is public domain worldwide it is rendered as written (158 recordings); otherwise only the melody line is played (107 recordings). SoulForge Tech LLC holds the arrangement (where its own) and recording rights and licenses them for playback inside Glossa Bible, including offline download, and for nothing else.
- Sung recordings — made using Openverse. Real performances (choirs, congregations, soloists) are found through the Openverse API, which indexes openly licensed audio. Openverse is only where we search: it does not host, endorse or certify any of these recordings, and Glossa Bible is not endorsed or certified by Openverse. Each recording is then verified at its original source (for Wikimedia Commons through the Commons API: licence, uploader, file hash and page revision), listened to and confirmed by a person (real singing, the right hymn, the verses sung), and only CC0, Public Domain Mark or CC BY recordings whose words and tune are also cleared can be published; recordings under non-commercial, no-derivatives or unclear licences are never published. Every published recording shows its own creator, licence and original page in the app, in the offline bundle and in the list below. At this revision the library carries 6 sung version(s) on 5 hymn(s) (CC0 / PDM 3, CC BY 3; 0 with a person-checked lyric timeline). Changes we make: the app plays a re-encoded copy (loudness gain, short fade-in / fade-out, MP3); we never change speed, pitch or cut anything; the untouched original and its hash are kept in our audit.
- Lyrics and timing. The English lyrics shown are the public-domain texts as printed in the source score. Line timing is derived from the score by the same rendering process and stored as WebVTT; it is line-level, not karaoke, and is marked in the app as not yet checked by a person.
- What we do not do. We do not scrape, download, transcode or redistribute audio or lyrics from hymnal.net, YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, NetEase Cloud Music, QQ Music, church slide collections or lyric repositories of unknown provenance. OpenLyrics is consulted only as a data-format reference; OpenLP only as a reference for search and library design.
- Chinese lyrics. A Chinese translation is shown only when its translation right has been verified item by item (a candidate file per hymn records the common Chinese title, the translation’s source and translator, first publication, the rights status, evidence and the check date; only
status: productionreaches the catalogue). At this revision 0 hymns carry verified Chinese lyrics; every other candidate is still pending review, so the app shows the Chinese title and a Chinese summary but not the Chinese lyrics. Candidate drafts are never published, here or in the app. A future Chinese version on the same instrumental will be labelled “Chinese Lyrics · Instrumental”, never “Chinese Vocal”.
2. Copyright complaints and takedown requests
If you believe any hymn, version, lyric, recording or metadata in Glossa Bible infringes rights you hold or represent, write to contact@soulforgetech.com with: the hymn and version (as named in the app or below), the right you hold and how we can verify it, and what you would like us to do. We acknowledge takedown requests within a few days, disable the item on our servers while we review (which also stops new downloads and streaming of it), and reply with the outcome; copies already on a user’s device are not reachable by us. Counter-notices from the person who supplied the content are forwarded to you.
3. Privacy note
Hymn search history, favourites and the list of hymns you recently played are stored on your device only and are never uploaded; they are erased when you delete your account. See the Privacy Policy.
