First John has a few verses which have inspired songs. I couldn't find any songs
for 2 John and 3 John. Some I have included
primarily for the lyrics, others are quite singable. Doubtless you'll know of
others. Tunes and words to most out-of-copyright hymns can be found at
Hymntime (CyberHymnal). Tunes and words for
many newer songs and choruses can be found using
CCLI.com's SongSelect service.
