Entrance Antiphon
Cantor: As for me, I will appear before you in righteousness;
I will be satisfied when your glory is made manifest.
Give heed, O Lord, to my righteousness;
Be attentive to my supplication.
Assembly: Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.
Psalm Response: The seed that falls on good ground will yield a fruitful harvest.
Communion Antiphon – The sparrow finds a home, and the swallow a nest for her young: by your altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God. Blessed are they who dwell in your house, forever singing your praise.
Communion Hymn ~ Bread of the World
Refrain: Bread of the world, in mercy broken, Wine of the soul in mercy shed,
By whom the words of life were spoken, and in whose death our sins are dead.
Look on the heart by sorrow broken, Look on the tears by sinners shed;
And be the feast to us the token That by your grace our souls are fed.
Verses:
1-7. We do not live on bread alone, but on ev-ry word that comes from God.
1.Let us worship the Lord, our God. God alone will save.
2.Let us follow the Lord, our God. God alone will lead.
3.Let us wait for the Lord, our God. God alone will reign.
4.Let us honor the Lord, our God. God alone is grace.
5.Let us trust in the Lord, our God. God alone is love.
6.Let us never be put to shame. God alone forgives.
7.Let us live in the light of truth. God alone is truth.
