Opening Hymn

All People That on Earth Do Dwell (Text: Psalm (99) 100, Tune:Old Hundredth)

1. All people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice;
Him serve with mirth, his praise forth tell.
Come we before him, and rejoice.

2. Know that the Lord is God indeed;
Without our aid he did us make;
We are his folk, he does us feed,
And for his sheep he does us take.

3. O enter then his gates with praise;
Approach with joy his courts unto;
Praise, laud, and bless his Name always,
For it is seemly so to do.

4. For why? the Lord our God is good:
His mercy is for ever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.

5. To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The God whom heaven and earth adore,
From us and from the angel host
Be praise and glory evermore.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalm (32)33, 4-5 .18-19 .20. 22 (Proulx)

R. Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our trust in you.

1. For the word of the Lord is faithful and all his works to be trusted.
The Lord loves justice and right and fills the earth with his love. R.

2. The Lord looks on those who revere him, on those who hope in his love,
to rescue their souls from death, to keep them alive in famine. R.

3. Our soul is waiting for the Lord. The Lord is our help and our shield.
May your love be upon us, O Lord, as we place all our hope in you. R.

A New Commandment (Tallis)

A new commandment give I unto you, saith the Lord,
that ye love together as I have loved you,
that e'en so ye love one another.
by this shall every man know that ye are my disciples,
if ye have love one to another.

Communion Antiphon

I am the Bread of Life (Toolan)

R. And I will raise you up, and I will raise you up, and I will raise you up on the last day.

1. I am the Bread of life. You who come to me shall not hunger;
and who believe in me shall not thirst. No one can come to me unless the Father beckons. R.

2. The bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world,
and if you eat of this bread, you shall live forever, you shall live forever. R.

3. Unless you eat of the flesh of the Son of Man
and drink of his blood, and drink of his blood, you shall not have life within you. R.

4. I am the Resurrection, I am the life.
If you believe in me, even though you die, you shall live for ever. R.

5. Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ,
the Son of God, Who have come into the world. R.


Communion Chant (mode II)

Domine Dominus noster Lord, our governor,
quam admirabile est
 how admirable
nomen tuum
 is your name
in univers terra!
 in all the earth!

Communion Anthem

Verily, Verily I Say Unto You (Tallis)

Verily, I say unto you: except ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man,
and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
Who so eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life;
and I will raise him up at the last day.
For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood,
dwelleth in me, and I in him.

 

Concluding Hymn

Holy God, We Praise Thy Name (Text: Grosser Gott, wir loben dich/Ascr. to Ignaz Franz, Tune: Grosser Gott)

1. Holy God, we praise thy name! Lord of all, we bow before thee;
All on earth thy scepter claim, All in heav'n above adore thee;
Infinite thy vast domain, Everlasting is thy reign.
Infinite thy vast domain, Everlasting is thy reign.

2. Hark! the loud celestial hymn Angel choirs above are raising;
Cherubim and Seraphim In unceasing chorus praising,
Fill the heav'ns with sweet accord: Holy, holy, holy Lord!
Fill the heav'ns with sweet accord, Holy, holy, holy Lord!

3. Holy Father, Holy Son, Holy Spirit, Three we name thee,
While in essence only One, Undivided God we claim thee,
And adoring bend the knee, While we own the mystery.
And adoring bend the knee, While we own the mystery.
