Opening Hymn

All Creatures of Our God and King (Text: Francis of Assisi, Tune: Lasst uns erfreuen)

1. All creatures of our God and King,
Lift up your voice and with us sing: Alleluia! Alleluia!
O burning sun with golden beam
And silver moon with softer gleam:
O praise him! O praise him! Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

2. O flowing waters, pure and clear,
Make music for your Lord to hear, O praise him! Alleluia!
O fire so masterful and bright,
Protecting us with warmth and light,
O praise him! O praise him! Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

3. O ev'ry one of tender heart,
Forgiving others, take your part, O praise him! Alleluia!
All you who pain and sorrow bear,
Praise God and lay on him your care.
O praise him! O praise him! Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

4. Let all things their Creator bless
And worship him in humbleness, O praise him! Alleluia!
Oh praise the Father, praise the Son, and praise the Spirit, Three in One!
O praise him! O praise him! Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

Preparation of the Altar and Gifts

O Clap Your Hands (Rutter)

O clap your hands together all ye people:
O sing unto God with the voice of melody.
For the Lord is high and to be feared:
he is the great King upon all the earth.
He will subdue the people under us:
and the nations under our feet.

He shall choose out a heritage for us:
even the worship of Jacob whom he loved.
God is gone up with a merry noise:
and the Lord with the sound of the trump.
O sing praise unto our God:
O sing praises unto our King.
Sing ye praises with understanding.
O clap your hands together all ye people.

Communion Antiphon

Mandatum Novum (Willcock, SJ)

R. I give you a new commandment:
Love one another as I have loved you.

1. Love is his word, love is his way. Feasting with all, fasting alone,
Living and dying, rising again. Love, only love, is his way. R.

2. Love is his way, love is his mark. Sharing his last Passover feast.
Guest at his table, host to the Twelve. Love, only love, is his mark. R.

3. Love is his mark, love is his sign. Bread for our strength, wine for our joy.
"This is my body, this is my blood." Love, only love, is his sign. R.

4. Love is his sign, love is his news. "Do this," he said, "lest you forget
All my deep sorrow, all my dear blood." Love, only love, is his news. R.

5. Love is his news, love is his name. We are his own, chosen and called,
Family, brethren, cousins and kin. Love, only love, is his name. R.

6. Love is his name, love is his law. Hear his command, all who are his:
"Love one another as I have loved you." Love, only love, is his law. R.

7. Love is his law, love is his word: Love of the Lord, Father and Word.
Love of the Spirit, God ev'ry one. Love, only love, is his word. R.


Communion Chant (mode I)

In salutari tuo anima mea, My soul aspires after your salvation:
et in verbum tuum speravi;
 I hope in your word;
Quando facies de persequentibus
 When will you judge those who
me iudicium?
 persecute me?

Communion Anthem

A Gaelic Blessing (Rutter)

Deep peace of the running wave to you,
Deep peace of the flowing air to you,
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you,
Deep peace of the shining stars to you,
Deep peace of the gentle night to you,
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you,
Deep peace of Christ the light of the world to you,
Deep peace of Christ to you.

 

Concluding Hymn

Love Divine, All Loves Excelling (Text: Charles Wesley, Tune: Hyfrydol)

1. Love divine, all loves excelling, Joy of heav'n to earth come down!
Fix in us your humble dwelling, All your faithful mercies crown.
Jesus, source of all compassion, Love unbounded, love all pure;
Visit us with your salvation, Let your love in us endure.

2. Come, almighty to deliver, Let us all your life receive;
Suddenly return and never, Never more your temples leave.
Lord, we would be always blessing, Serve you as your hosts above,
Pray, and praise you without ceasing, Glory in your precious love.

3. Finish then your new creation, Pure and spotless, gracious Lord,
Let us see your great salvation Perfectly in you restored.
Changed from glory into glory, Till in heav'n we take our place,
Till we sing before the almighty Lost in wonder, love and praise.
