Hymns for the 6th Sunday of Easter, Year C (22 May 2022)

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

Most are free-to-use (ie public domain or copyright-free), meaning that 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 particularly appropriate hymns which are still copyright may also be included.
