Hymns and song suggestions, based on themes from the Roman Catholic lectionary for the 31st Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year B.

Many are free-to-use (ie public domain or copyright-free) and 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 may still be copyright are also included, if these are particularly appropriate.
