Over and around us lies.

Sun and moon and stars of light,

This, our hymn of grateful praise.
For the joy of ear and eye,
For the heart and mind’s delight,
For the mystic harmony,
Linking sense to sound and sight,

For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth, and friends above,
For all gentle thoughts and mild,

For your Church that evermore,
Lifts its holy hands above,
Off’ring up on ev’ry shore,
Its pure sacrifice of love.

For yourself, best Gift Divine,
To the world so freely given,

Peace on earth and joy in heav’n.

First Reading - Isaiah 63:7-9
The loving deeds of the LORD I will recall,
the glorious acts of the LORD,
Because of all the LORD has done for us,
the immense goodness to the house of Israel,
Which he has granted according to his mercy
and his many loving deeds.
He said: “They are indeed my people,
children who are not disloyal.”
So he became their savior in their every affliction.
It was not an envoy or a messenger,
but his presence that saved them.
Because of his love and pity the LORD redeemed them, lifting them up and carrying them
all the days of old.
Responsorial Psalm -
Psalm 145
R. I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God.
I will extol you, my God and king,
and bless your name forever.
I will bless you day after day,
and praise your name forever and ever.
R. I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God.
The Lord is kind and full of compassion,
slow to anger, abounding in mercy.
How good is the Lord to all,
compassionate to all his creatures.
R. I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God.
All your works shall thank you, O Lord,
and all your faithful ones bless you.

The Lord is faithful in all his words,

Second Reading - Col. 3:12-17
Brothers and sisters:
Put on, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved,
heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience,
bearing with one another and forgiving one another,
if one has a grievance against another;
as the Lord has forgiven you, so must you also do.
And over all these put on love,
that is, the bond of perfection.
And let the peace of Christ control your hearts,
the peace into which you were also called in one body.
And be thankful.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly,
as in all wisdom you teach and admonish one another,
singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs
with gratitude in your hearts to God.
And whatever you do, in word or in deed,
do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Gospel -
Luke 17:11-19
As Jesus continued his journey to Jerusalem, he traveled through Samaria and Galilee.
As he was entering a village, ten persons with leprosy met him.
They stood at a distance from him and raised their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!”
And when he saw them, he said, “Go show yourselves to the priests.”
As they were going they were cleansed.
And one of them, realizing he had been healed, returned, glorifying God in a loud voice; and he fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked him.
He was a Samaritan.
Jesus said in reply, “Ten were cleansed, were they not?
Where are the other nine?
Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?”
Then he said to him, “Stand up and go; your faith has saved you.”

Offertory Hymn - 748 - ‘Tis the Gift to Be Simple
‘Tis the gift to be simple,
‘tis the gift to be free.
‘Tis the gift to come down where
you ought to be,
and when we find ourselves in the
place just right
‘twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gained,
to bow and to bend we shan’t be ashamed;
To turn, turn will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning we come round right.
‘Tis the gift to be gentle,
tis the gift to be fair.
‘Tis a gift to wake and breathe
the morning air,
and ev’ry day to walk in the path we choose,
‘tis the gift that we pray we may
ne’er come to lose.
When true simplicity is gained,
to bow and to bend we shan’t be ashamed;
To turn, turn will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning we come round right.
‘Tis a gift to be loving,
‘tis the best gift of all,
like a quiet rain it blesses where it falls;
and if we have the gift, we will truly believe,
‘tis better to give than it is to receive.
When true simplicity is gained,
to bow and to bend we shan’t be ashamed;
To turn, turn will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning we come round right.

Give thanks with a grateful heart,
Give thanks to the holy one;
Give thanks because
He's given Jesus Christ, His son.
Give thanks with a grateful heart,
Give thanks to the holy one;
Give thanks because
He's given Jesus Christ, His son.

Recessional Hymn - 636 - Now Thank We All Our God
Now thank we all our God
With hearts and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things has done,
In whom his world rejoices;
Who from our mothers' arms
Has blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love,
And still is ours today.
O may this bounteous God
Through all our life be near us,
With ever joyful hearts
And blessed peace to cheer us,
Preserve us in his grace,
And guide us when in distress,
And free us from all harm
Till heaven we possess.
All praise and thanks to God
The Father now be given,
The Son and him who reigns,
With them in highest heaven
The one eternal God,
Whom heav’n and earth adore;
For thus it was, is now,
And shall be evermore.
