Hymns for the 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C (10 July 2022)

A selection of hymns and songs, based on themes from the Roman Catholic lectionary for the fifteenth 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 which are, or may be, still copyright are also included where they are a particularly good for for the theme(s).

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.



Readings

First: Deuteronomy 30:10-14 - Moses tells the people to obey the voice of God, keeping the commandments and laws that are in the Book, and he reassures them that this is possible for them, because God's word is very near.

Psalm:  
68 - Seek the Lord, you who are poor, and your hearts will revive / This is my prayer / As for me in my poverty and pain / The poor when they see it will be glad / For God will bring help to Zion.
OR
18 - The precepts of the Lord gladden the heart / The law of the Lord is perfect / The precepts of the Lord are right / The fear of the Lord is holy / They are more to be desired than god

Second: Colossians 1:15-20  - Christ is the image of God - in him, all were created ... the Church is his body, he is the head, first in every way ... he made peace by his death on the cross.

Gospel:   Luke 10:25-37 - Love the Lord your God with all your heart soul and mind, and love your neighbour as yourself  ... the parable of the Good Samaritan.


Themes

God's Law:   loving God and neighbour - love in action - justice.   God's closeness to humankind.
