Hymns for the 7th Sunday of Easter, Year C (1 June 2025 in some countries)

Hymns and songs, based on themes from the Roman Catholic lectionary for the seventh Sunday of Easter, Year C.

Most are free-to-use (ie public domain or copyright-free), so 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 selection of hymns that are still copyright may also be included, if these are particularly relevant to the day's readings.




Seasonal note

Depending on local customs and the timing of Easter, the 7th week of the season may not be in the liturgical calendar in some years


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