Hymns for the 2nd Sunday of Easter, Year B (8 April 2024) - Catholic lectionary

A selection of hymns and songs, based on themes from the Roman Catholic lectionary for the 2nd Sunday of Easter, Year B.

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 hymns that could be included are welcome: leave a message in the Comments box near the bottom of the page.


Seasonal note

The first Sunday after Easter is the second Sunday in the Easter Season:  Easter Sunday itself is the "1st Sunday of Easter".

Within the universal church calendar, the 2nd Sunday of Easter is dedicated to the Divine Mercy devotion.

In some communities, it is known as "Low Sunday" - and has minimal if any music to give choirs and music directors a break after the demands of the Easter Triduum.
