Processional Hymn - 598 - O God Beyond All Praising
O God beyond all praising,
we worship you today
And sing the love amazing
that songs cannot repay;
For we can only wonder
at every gift you send,
At blessings without number
and mercies without end:
We lift our hearts before you
and wait upon your word,
We honor and adore you,
our great and mighty Lord.The flow’r of earthly splendor
in time must surely die,
Its fragile bloom surrender
to you, the Lord most high,
But hidden from all nature
the eternal seed is sown,
Though small in mortal stature
to heaven’s garden grown.
For Christ, the man from heaven,
from death has set us free,
and we through him are given
the final victory!Then hear, O gracious Savior,
accept the love we bring,
That we who know your favor
may serve you as our king;
And whether our tomorrows
be filled with good or ill,
We'll triumph through our sorrows
and rise to bless you still:
To marvel at your beauty
and glory in your ways,
And make a joyful duty
our sacrifice of praise.

Offertory Song - 712 - The King of Love My Shepherd Is
The King of love my shepherd is,
Whose goodness fails me never;
I nothing lack if I am his,
And he is mine forever.Where streams of living water flow
My ransomed soul he’s leading,
And where the verdant pastures grow,
With food celestial feeding.Confused and foolish I have strayed,
But yet in love he sought me,
And on his shoulder gently laid,
And home, rejoicing, brought me.In death’s dark vale I fear no ill
With you, dear Lord, beside me;
Your rod and staff my comfort still,
Your cross before to guide me.You spread a table in my sight,
Your saving grace bestowing;
And, oh, what transport of delight
From your pure chalice flowing!And so, through all the length of days
Your goodness fails me never;
Good Shepherd, may I sing your praise within your house forever.
Text: Psalm 23; Henry W. Baker, 1821-1877, alt.

Communion Song - Holy Bread of Eternal Life
Holy Bread of Eternal Life,
Cup of loving sacrifice,
God made visible before our eyes:
the Body and Blood of Christ.
We receive in adoration
Christ whose life is love outpoured.
Taste and see that the Lord is good!Gathered into one fam’ly,
Strengthened by this faith we share.
Taste and see that the Lord is good!Joyfully we come before him
To become what we receive.
Taste and see that the Lord is good!Strengthened by His love and mercy,
We go forth to share what we receive.
Taste and see that the Lord is good!

Communion Song - Panis Angelicus
Communion Song (if needed) - Jesus My Lord, My God, My All
Jesus! my Lord, my God, my all!
How can I love Thee as I ought?
And, how revere this wondrous gift,
So far surpassing hope or thought?
Sweet Sacrament! we Thee adore!
O, make us love Thee more and more!
O, make us love Thee more and more!
Had I but Mary's sinless heart
To love Thee with, my dearest King!
O with what bursts of fervent praise
Thy goodness, Jesus, would I sing!
Sweet Sacrament! we Thee adore!
O, make us love Thee more and more!
O, make us love Thee more and more!
O! see upon the altar placed
The victim of divinest love!
Let all the earth below adore,
And join the choirs of heav’n above.
Sweet Sacrament! we Thee adore!
O, make us love Thee more and more!
O, make us love Thee more and more!

Marian Antiphon - Salve Regina
Salve Regina, Mater misericordiae,
vita, dulcedo et spes nostr, salve.
ad te clamamus
exsules filii Hevae,
ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
in hac lacrimarum valle.
Eia, ergo, advocata nostra, illos tuos
misericordes oculos ad nos converte;
et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui,
nobis post hoc exsilium ostende.
O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria.

And thanks and adoration.

2. Your reign extend, O King benign,
To ev'ry land and nation;
For in your kingdom, Lord divine,
Alone we find salvation.

We pledge our hearts’ oblation
Until before your throne we sing
In endless jubilation.
