LiturgyTools.net: Hymns for the 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C (17 July 2022)

A selection of hymns and songs, based on themes from the Roman Catholic lectionary for the sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time in 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 such 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 they are particularly relevant.

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.
