Entrance Antiphon Hymns

Introits carefully adapted into hymns for literally every day of the year.

Introduce Entrance Antiphons at Mass AND keep the entrance hymn. We use only familiar tunes, & provide everything you need for FREE. No licenses or reporting necessary.  Email me, Luke, antiphonrenewal@gmail.com to request a different melody. Click here to donate

 

"We have been using [AntiphonRenewal's] fantastic tropes texts for our entrance antiphon hymns for two years now. They are very well done, and have been well-received by our congregation...It’s the best of both worlds, and really makes the texts of the antiphons come alive for the congregants... As for the texts themselves, there are multiple options per week, with full citations prepared for easy copy & paste into worship aids, and there are multiple hymn tune suggestions for ultimate flexibility. They really have thought of just about everything and we are indebted to the editors!"   -Parish Musician and Editor of Psallite Domino
