The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal is copyrighted ( 1985) by the Review and Herald Publishing Association. No one can translate the entire hymnal into a non-English language or produce an ancillary product without written permission from the Review and Herald Publishing Association.

If you want to use hymns owned by the Review and Herald, you will need to send us a written request, including a list of the hymns you want to use. Our Administrative Committee will consider the request, and, if they approve it, we will let you know the required royalty payment or use fee.

The copyright ownership may be for the words, the music, the arrangement, or any combination of these. You must write to the copyright owner(s) and obtain permission to use the copyrighted hymns. If you are including the hymn in a hymnal or songbook, you must arrange for royalty payments to be made to the copyright holder on a quarterly or yearly basis. (A booklet with names and address of many church music copyright holders is available from the Book Division rights and permissions coordinator.)

Most of the hymns in the hymnal are in the public domain. Any song or hymn without a credit line at the end is in the public domain. The key date is 1922. Anything copyrighted that year or before is in public domain because the copyright has expired.

Sometimes the words are copyrighted but the music is in the public domain (or vice versa). Or both the words and music are in the public domain but the arrangement is protected by copyright (e.g., No. 187, "Jesus, What a Friend for Sinners" and No. 678, "God Be in My Head"). Again, watch for the year 1922 or earlier.

If you want to project on a screen the words of a hymn (or even part of the words of a hymn), contact Christian Copyright Licensing International (CCLI) for a license (www.ccli.com). Hymn owners and publishers have given CCLI the right to arrange with churches and individuals to use the words to hymns (project them on a screen in the front of the church, quote them in an article or book, etc.). CCLI collects the royalties from the churches and passes them on to the copyright holders.

In general, you must obtain written permission from the copyright holder to quote, in a published work, part of a copyrighted song or poem. The name of the copyright holder is usually printed at the bottom of the song. If the Review and Herald is the copyright holder, send an e-mail requesting permission to rightsan...@pacificpress.com.For permission to use the words to other copyrighted songs, contact CCLI (see above).

When The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal was published, the Review and Herald obtained copyright permission for the English edition only. We do not own the rights for foreign language editions and cannot grant these rights to others.

2. Send a letter to the Review and Herald Publishing Association, asking for a license to produce a hymnal in another language, and including copies of all your permission letters from the copyright owners.

If your request is approved, the Review and Herald will charge you a licensing fee and issue a hymnal licensing agreement, which will give you legal permission to translate and print The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal in a non-English language.

The Review and Herald does not own the right to produce electronic versions of the hymns in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal and cannot grant these rights to others. If you wish to produce an electronic version of the hymnal, you must follow the steps outlined above, under Non-English Hymnals.

Remember that if you produce an unauthorized print or electronic version of The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal or any other songbook or hymnal owned by the Review and Herald Publishing Association (or a copyrighted hymn or song), you are violating United States and international copyright laws and can be prosecuted in a court of law.

The information above applies to all songbooks and hymnals published by the Review and Herald Publishing Association and Southern Publishing Association (merged with Review and Herald in 1980); most of these titles are listed below by copyright or publication date.

Remember, if you produce an unauthorized print or electronic version of the Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal or any other songbook or hymnal owned by the Review and Herald Publishing Association (or a copyrighted hymn or song), you are violating United States and international copyright laws and can be prosecuted in a court of law.

The Review and Herald Publishing Association frequently grants licenses for non-English editions of our books to publishers outside the United States. To obtain a license, e-mail your request to rightsan...@pacificpress.com.

Your license request will be considered by a committee. If your request is granted, you will be charged a licensing fee and asked to sign a licensing agreement. Please note that the Review and Herald Publishing Association always grants first right of refusal on translation rights to the Seventh-day Adventist publishing house that serves that language group.

Humberto Mario Rasi, a Seventh-day Adventist educator and scholar who was General Conference (GC) director of education, died after a long illness on June 28. He was 88. A dedicated supporter and promoter of Adventist education and Adventist professionals, Rasi served the Adventist Church in various roles during his long and productive life.

He was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1935, on a Sabbath morning on the upper residential level of the Palermo Seventh-day Adventist Church, while his father, Mario Rasi, led out in Sabbath School several floors below. His mother, Frida Heyde Rasi, was a nurse and supported her husband in his ministry.

Rasi married Julieta Cuchma Cayrus in Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1957. He taught at Instituto Florida, the Seventh-day Adventist church school in Buenos Aires, while both he and his wife studied. Earning a degree in Spanish Language and Literature from the Instituto Nacional del Profesorado Jos Hernndez, he worked as a translator and editor at the Adventist publishing house in Argentina.

Rasi was invited to serve at the Modern Languages Department at Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Michigan, in 1968, becoming chair in 1971. He obtained a PhD in Latin American History and Literature from Stanford University, where his doctoral dissertation focused on the work of Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges.
