Entrance Song Let us Go to the Altar of God

Let us go to the altar of God, the God of our gladness

and joy! Let us enter the courts of the house of the Lord

and sing to the glory of God.

Give praise with blast of trumpet, with noble sound of the

horn. With the clash of the clanging cymbal, give glory to

the Lord!

Give praise with lyre and timbrel, with lute and sound of

the harp. With the dance of the flute and oboe, give glory

to the Lord.

Give praise with pipe and organ, with rousing beat of the

drum. With the call of the bell and bagpipe, give glory to

the Lord!

Offertory Song Here I Am, Lord

I, the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard my people cry. All

who dwell in dark and sin, my hand will save. I, who

made the stars of night, I will make their darkness bright.

Who will bear my light to them? Whom shall I send?

Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord? I have heard you call-

ing in the night. I will go, Lord, if you lead me. I will

hold your people in my heart.

I, the Lord of snow and rain, I have borne my people’s

pain. I have wept for love of them. They turn away. I will

break their hearts of stone, give them hearts for love

alone. I will speak my word to them. Whom shall I send?

I, the Lord of wind and flame, I will tend the poor and

lame. I will set a feast for them My hand will save. Finest

bread I will provide till their hearts be satisfied. I will give

my life to them. Whom shall I send?

Responsorial Psalm

Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.

Communion 1 Behold the Lamb

Those who were in the dark are thankful for the sunlight.

We who live, we who die are grateful for his gift, thankful

for his love.

Behold, behold the Lamb of God. All who eat, all who

drink shall live; and all, all who dwell in God shall come

to know his glory.

Peaceful now, those whose hearts are blessed with under-

standing of the wheat, of the wine united with his word and

the love we share.

Gentle one, Child of God, join with us at this table. Bless

our lives; nourish all who hunger for the feast; shelter them

with peace.

Lord of all, give us light. Deliver us from evil. Make us

one; be our shield. Make still the winds that blow; cradle us

with love.

Communion 2 Like a Child Rests

Like a child rests in its mother’s arms, so will I rest in

you. Like a child rests in its mother’s arms, so will I rest

in you.

My God, I am not proud. I do not look for things too great.

My God, I trust in you. You care for me, you give me

peace.

O Israel, trust in God, now and always trust in God.

Sending Song How Can I Keep From Singing

My life flows on in endless song above earth’s lamentation.

I hear the real though far-off hymn that hails a new crea-

tion.

No storm can shake my inmost calm, while to that rock

I’m clinging. Since Love is Lord of heaven and earth,

how can I keep from singing?

Through all the tumult and the strife, I hear that music ring-

ing. It sounds and echoes in my soul. How can I keep from

singing?

What though the tempest ‘round me roar, I hear the truth it

liveth. What though the darkness round me close, songs in

the night it giveth.
