LiturgyTools.net: Hymns for the 2nd Sunday of Lent, Year A (5 March 2023)

Hymn and song suggestions, based on themes from the Roman Catholic lectionary for the second Sunday of Lent, Year A.

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 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 these are particularly appropriate.

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