LiturgyTools.net: Hymns for the 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C (30 Oct 2022)

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

If All Saints Day (1 November) falls on a Sunday, then the 31st Sunday of Ordinary Time may be skipped and the calendar goes straight to the 32nd Sunday - eg in 2020.
