Processional Hymn - 536 - At the Lamb’s High Feast We Sing

1. At the Lamb's high feast we sing
Praise to our victorious King,
Who has washed us in the tide
Flowing from his piercéd side;
Praise we him, whose love divine
Gives his sacred Blood for wine,
Gives his Body for the feast,
Christ the victim, Christ the priest.

2. Where the Paschal blood is poured,
Death's dark angel sheathes his sword;
Israel's hosts triumphant go
Through the wave that drowns the foe.
Praise we Christ, whose blood was shed,
Paschal victim, Paschal bread;
With sincerity and love
Eat we manna from above.

LITURGY OF THE WORD

Link to readings

Lauda Sion - Sequence before the Gospel - short form
(remain seated)

Lo! the angel's food is given
To the pilgrim who has striven;
see the children's bread from heaven,
which on dogs may not be spent.

Truth the ancient types fulfilling,
Isaac bound, a victim willing,
Paschal lamb, its lifeblood spilling,
manna to the fathers sent.

Very bread, good shepherd, tend us,
Jesu, of your love befriend us,
You refresh us, you defend us,
Your eternal goodness send us
In the land of life to see.

You who all things can and know,
Who on earth such food bestow,
Grant us with your saints, though lowest,
Where the heav'nly feast you show,
Fellow heirs and guests to be.

Amen. Alleluia.

Homily

(please sit)

Nicene Creed
(please stand)

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.

Prayers of the Faithful

(after each prayer intention)
We pray to the Lord.

All: Lord, hear our prayer.

Prayer for Our Lady of Angels Parish

Communion Hymn option 1- Bread of Angels

Bread of angels, we receive you
With us now abide.
Precious Jesus, manna of ages,
with us now reside.
Panis angelicus
fit panis hominum,
Dat panis caelicus
figuris terminum.
The Bread of angels becomes bread for mankind; the heavenly bread puts an end to foreshadowings.
Cup of Mercy overflowing,
fill us with your grace;
wine of passion,
O Son begotten,
we flee to your embrace.
O res mirabilis
manducat Dominum,
Pauper, Pauper,
servus, et humilis.
Oh, wonderful thing! The poor, the servant, and the humble eat the Lord.
Word incarnate, dwell within us;
pierce our hardened hearts.
Tender Jesus, Love so gentle,
never let us part.
Te, trina Deitas
unaque, poscimus,
Sic nos tu visita,
sicut te colimus.
We ask you, triune and one God: Visit us, as we worship you.
Though unworthy, we receive you,
sacrament divine.
Bread of angels, accept our praises,
let your glory shine!
Per tuas semitas
duc nos quo tendimus,
lucem, Ad lucem
quam inhabitas.
Lead us along your paths to where we long to be, to the light in which you dwell.

Communion Hymn option 2 - 945 - I Am the Bread of Life

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
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up on the last day
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
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up on the last day
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.
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up on the last day
I am the resurrection
I am the life
If you believe in Me
Even though you die
You shall live forever
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up on the last day
Yes Lord we believe
That You are the Christ
The Son of God
Who has come
Into the world
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up on the last day

Marian Antiphon - 880 - Salve Regina

Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae,
vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve.
ad te clamamus
exsules filii Evae,
ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
in hac lacrimarum valle.

Eia, ergo, advocata nostra, illos tuos
misericordes oculos ad nos converte;
et Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui,
nobis post hoc exsilium ostende.
O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria.

Recessional Hymn - Alleluia, Sing to Jesus! (v. 1 and 3)

Alleluia! Sing to Jesus!
His the scepter, His the throne;
Alleluia! His the triumph,
His the victory alone!
Hark! The songs of peaceful Zion
Thunder like a mighty flood:
“Jesus out of every nation
Has redeemed us by His blood.”
Alleluia! Bread of angels,
Here on earth our Food, our Stay;
Alleluia! Here the sinful
Flee to You from day to day.
Intercessor, friend of sinners,
Earth’s Redeemer, plead for me;
Where are the songs of all the sinless
Sweep across the crystal sea.

Text: Revelation 5:9; William C. Dix, 1837-1898
