Hymns for the 33rd Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year B (14 November 2021)

Hymns and song suggestions, based on themes from the Roman Catholic lectionary for the thirty-third Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year B.

Most are free-to-use (ie public domain or copyright-free) meaning the words can be copied and sung to at least one tune with no concerns about copyright or performance licensing. Many such hymns are old/traditional - but where possible a variety of styles / genres are included.

A small selection of hymns that are still copyright, but are a particularly good fit for the day's readings, are also included.  

Suggestions about other free-to-use hymns that could be included are welcome: leave a message in the Comments box near the bottom of the page.

Seasonal note

The 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time is also the World Day for the Poor:   See this website for suggested liturgy resources, and this list of hymn suggestions.

  1. Can I request an index for the sundays in the form of a liturgical calendar? It would be SUPER useful to be able to go to a page where I can select the date in parts (Year C, Advent, 3rd Sunday, for example) rather than go to the one that's a few weeks in advance and then step through one by one. Maybe you've already made such a thing and I just haven't been able to find it yet...
