Hymns for the 5th Sunday of Easter, Year C (18 May 2025) - Catholic lectionary

A selection of hymns and songs, based on themes from the Roman Catholic lectionary for the fifth Sunday of Easter, Year C.

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 - sometimes in a limited setting.   Many of these hymns are old/traditional - but where possible a variety of styles and genres are included.

A small number of particularly appropriate hymns that are still copyright may also be included.



Readings

First: Acts 14:21-27 - Paul and Barnabas continue their travels - in each church, the appointed elders and commended them to the Lord.  Eventually they return to Antioch and give an account of their work.

Psalm: 144 - I will bless your name forever, O God my King / The Lord is kind and full of compassion / All your creatures should thank you / Yours is an everlasting kingdom.

Second: Apocalypse 21: 1-3 - John saw a new heaven and new earth - the new Jerusalem ... now I am making the whole of creation new.

Gospel:   John 13: 31-35- I will give you a new commandment, love one another just as I have loved you.


Themes

A new creation - Christ puts fresh heart into the disciples - Christ lives among us - all are made new.
