Andrew's right - and it's very complicated!

In the 1982 Episcopal Hymnal, only some stanzas inserted between the two Public Domain stanzas are copyright 1985 by The Church Pension Fund, such as the brief example of the one inserted below.

There are many added stanzas, some PD, some not.

Unfortunately, 1982 fails to note which of the many inserted stanzas available in the book are copyright and which are Public Domain. This is a rare omission, their copyright pages are very reliable. So these new verses are generally covered by their book copyright, requiring further search that should make it possible to determine which of those stanzas are old & PD and may be reprinted. The copyright reference in hymnary.org just refers to "vs."

The music for 231 and the harmonization of 232 are copyright OUP.


PUBLIC DOMAIN:
By all your saints still striving
For all your saints at rest,
Your holy name, O Jesus,
Forevermore be blest!
You rose, our King victorious,
That they might wear the crown
And ever shine in splendor
Reflected from your throne.


Inserted stanzas appear here.

PUBLIC DOMAIN:
Then let us praise the Father
And worship God the Son
And sing to God the Spirit,
Eternal Three in One,
Till all the ransomed number
Who stand before the throne,
Ascribe all power and glory
And praise to God alone.

"Then what other stanzas are public domain? "

Do a google search using say, the first line of the stanza and see if it pops up as copyright...

Referring to the message below: Did you go to Google as suggested? If so you would discover on the first page a link to hymnary.org which would have the answer.

Okay, a bit of research as shown that the verse "Apostle, prophets, martyrs..." is public domain (the author died in 1913).

I have written a Hymn verse in honour of St Francis Xavier since his relics are currently visiting Sydney:

And for Saint Francis Xavier
we praise You evermore;
A witness to Your Gospel
On many far-flung shore.
We ask his mission'ry zeal be
with all of us today.
And bring us ever closer
to You in heav'n we pray.

I have decided to license this verse under creative commons so that it is effectively public domain, on the condition that it be acknowledged/credited as "By Martin Christopher Hartley (born 1986)"

hartley: I think the particular license you want to specify is:
CC: BY-NC-SA

BY = Attribution: copies and derived works must credit the original
NC = Non commercial: copies and derived works can be used only for non-commercial endeavors
SA = Share-alike: copies and derived works must be placed in the commons using this or a similar license

You could be more or less restrictive, for example, not allowing derived works (which seems rude) or allowing commercial use. But the above is the most common CC license used for church-related works.

I generally clarify even further, appending the following to copies of my work:

CC: BY-NC-SA
Free for most religious purposes.

This new hymn verse was sung publicly for the first time today (17/9) at a special mass for the veneration of the Relics of St Francis Xavier at St Benedict's Church, Chippendale (Sydney, Australia). It was very well-recieved and I could clearly hear the congregation singing it.

So yes, feel free to stick that hymn verse into your hymn collections.
