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.

Text: Ad regias agni dapes; Latin, 4th C.; tr. by Robert Campbell, 1814-1868, alt.

Liturgy of the Word

First Reading - Genesis 14:18-20

In those days, Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine,
and being a priest of God Most High,
he blessed Abram with these words: "Blessed be Abram by God Most High,
the creator of heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High, who delivered your foes into your hand."
Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.

The Word of the Lord.

ALL: Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm - Psalm 110

R: You are a priest for ever, in the line of Melchizedek.

The LORD’s revelation to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I make your foes your footstool."
R You are a priest for ever, in the line of Melchizedek.

The LORD will send from Zion your scepter of power:
"Rule in the midst of your foes."
R You are a priest for ever, in the line of Melchizedek.

"With you is princely rule on the day of your power. In holy splendor, from the womb before the dawn, I have begotten you."
R You are a priest for ever, in the line of Melchizedek.

The LORD has sworn an oath he will not change: "You are a priest forever, in the line of Melchizedek."
R You are a priest for ever, in the line of Melchizedek.

Second Reading - 1 Cor. 11:23-26

Brothers and sisters:
I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over,
took bread, and, after he had given thanks, broke it and said, "This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me."
In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying,
"This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me."
For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes.

The Word of the Lord.

ALL: Thanks be to God.

Gospel - Luke 9:11b-17

Priest or Deacon: The Lord be with you.
ALL: And with your spirit.

Priest/Deacon: A reading from the Gospel according to Luke.
ALL: Glory to you, O Lord (while making a small sign of the Cross on the forehead, lips, and chest).

Jesus spoke to the crowds about the kingdom of God, and he healed those who needed to be cured.
As the day was drawing to a close,
the Twelve approached him and said,
"Dismiss the crowd so that they can go to the surrounding villages and farms
and find lodging and provisions; for we are in a deserted place here."
He said to them, "Give them some food yourselves."
They replied, "Five loaves and two fish are all we have, unless we ourselves go and buy food for all these people."
Now the men there numbered about five thousand.
Then he said to his disciples,
"Have them sit down in groups of about fifty."
They did so and made them all sit down.
Then taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven,
he said the blessing over them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.
They all ate and were satisfied.
And when the leftover fragments were picked up, they filled twelve wicker baskets.

The Gospel of the Lord.

ALL: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Liturgy of the Eucharist

Offertory Hymn - 619 - Let All Mortal Flesh

Let all mortal flesh keep silence
And with fear and trembling stand;
Ponder nothing earthly-minded,
For with blessing in his hand
Christ, our God, to earth descending,
Comes, our homage to demand.

King of kings, yet born of Mary,
As of old on earth he stood,
Lord of lords in human vesture,
In the body and the blood
He will give to all the faithful
His own self for heav’nly food.

Rank on rank the host of heaven
Spreads its vanguard on the way
As the Light from Light, descending
From the realms of endless day,
Comes the pow’rs of hell to vanquish
As the darkness clears away.

At his feet the six-winged seraph,
Cherubim with sleepless eye,
Veil their faces to the Presence
As with ceaseless voice they cry:
“Alleluia, alleluia!
Alleluia, Lord Most High!”

Text: Liturgy of St. James, 5th C.; para. by Gerard Moultrie, 1829-1885, alt.

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.
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.
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.
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.

Communion Song 2 - 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!

Post-Communion Song - 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 - 949 - 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
