Annual Licenses

Special value-added benefit for WLP Annual License holders: Both WLP Annual Reprint Licenses now allow you access to WLP's online library of assembly files from our hymnals and other compilations. You can download electronic versions of these files directly  from this website and insert them into your programs and songsheets — for no additional charge! Visit the Click & Print section of the site for more details.   Please note that usage reporting is required under the terms of these licenses so that composers and authors are compensated fairly.
