Hymns for the 3rd Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year C (23 January 2022) - Catholic lectionary

A selection of hymns and songs, based on themes from the Roman Catholic lectionary for the 3rd Sunday of Ordinary Time, 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.  Many such hymns are old/traditional - but where possible a variety of styles / genres are included.  A small selection of hymns that are still be copyright may also included where they are a particularly good for for the theme(s).
