83 widely translated Worship Songs
Each of the songs below have been translated into at least 10 languages and are available via www.weareworship.com .
To find exactly which languages you now have to be logged in as a member but can set up a free account.
Sometimes using the translated song title or first line may find a recording on YouTube and one song may lead you to a whole playlist of songs you already love, and songs that you’ve never heard.
These 83 songs represent contributions from 54 different songwriters most writing in English and having global reach. While it is good that these songs can be sung in many languages it is also good to recognise that around the world songs are sung in hundreds and one day thousands of languages each with its own distinct style and unique expression.
Over 1300 of the nearly 8000 songs listed have been translated into at least one other language (not counting UK and USA English as separate). with 360 being available in 4 or more languages.
2020 update: Several of the songs are available in many more languages than mentioned below and since researching this in 2019 one new song, “The Blessing” has already been sung (and signed) into over 160 languages (only English and German currently on WeAreWorship).
(There are a wide range of other sites and tools for Multilingual worship which I’ll add to in the #multilingualchurch tab)

Some of the translated versions are available on songselect.ccli.com (serch by title or ccli number), but in a much smaller range of languages.

Thanks for this but the links which go to weareworship say that the page cannot be found. Is it because we now have to join the website?

Thanks Jessie. It seems changed some things on the site. I’m in contact to find out if translations and the ability to search for them is something they are looking at any time soon. I’ve updated the post, and will do so again when I hear more.
