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 still copyright, but are a particularly good fit for the day's readings, are also included.
The third Sunday of Ordinary Time has also been nominated as the day to observe Sunday of the Word of God: Any hymns based directly on Scripture may be helpful to support this, and a list of hymns about The Word of God has been prepared.
Readings
First: Jonah 3:1-5, 10 - The Lord sends Jonah to preach in Nineveh - the people were converted and God repented and did not inflict on them the disaster he had threatened.
Psalm: 24 - Lord make me know your ways / Remember your mercy Lord / The Lord is good and upright.
Second: I Corinthians 7: 29-31 - Our time is growing short ... the world as we know it is passing away.
Gospel: Mark 1:14-20 - Jesus calls the fishermen Simon and Andrew, and James and John - to follow him.
