Liturgy for Saturday, May 27, 2017 | The Ascension of the Lord (Vigil Mass)

Posted: May 24, 2017 in Uncategorized

Entrance | Many and One

Refrain
We are many, yet we are one
We are sep’rate, yet bound in His love
And together, we are all His hands and His feet
Bringing mercy and peace to this world
We are many and one

Verses
We are fallen, but we are forgiven
Broken and scattered, yet being made whole
By our Redeemer, one Lord and one Savior
The Shepherd who gathers us all, gathers us all

We are diff’rent as morning and evening
Each of us living as we have been called
All of us seeking, each of us reaching to
the Shepherd who gathers us all, gathers us all

We are brothers and sisters in spirit
Found in all nations yet near to the Lord
Each one belonging together now longing for
the Shepherd who gathers us all, gathers us all

Responsorial Psalm | Ps. 47 God Mounts His Throne

R./ God mounts His throne to shouts of joy;
A blare of trumpets for the Lord

Repeat

All you peoples, clap your hands
Shout to God with cries of gladness
For the Lord, the Most High, the awesome
is the great King over all the earth

R./ God mounts His throne to shouts of joy;
A blare of trumpets for the Lord

God mounts His throne amid shouts of joy
The Lord, amid trumpet blasts
Sing praise to God, sing praise
Sing praise to our King
Sing praise to our King

R./ God mounts His throne to shouts of joy;
A blare of trumpets for the Lord

For King of all the earth is God
Sing hymns of praise
God reigns over the nations
God sits upon His holy throne

R./ God mounts His throne to shouts of joy;
A blare of trumpets for the Lord

Offertory | One Sacrifice of Christ

One sacrifice of Christ
One throne above the Heavens
Christ has risen as He said
And will come to wake the dead
Christ will return to set us free
One sacrifice of love
One message for the nations
Jesus suffered, died and rose
And ascended to the throne
Christ will return to save the world

One gaze we lift above,
where Love was drawn to Heaven
We stand watchful through the night
for our King to come in light
Heirs to the glory of the Lamb
One mighty Word of truth
Christ did arise in triumph
Now He sits upon the throne
God’s right hand is He alone
Christ reigns in splendor over all

One banquet richly set
for all God’s holy people
We will dine in joy and peace
And our song will never cease
Praise the Lamb upon the throne
One shout of joy we raise
One voice in exaltation
for in glory Christ has gone
And in hope we now are drawn to
one sacrifice of Christ
One sacrifice of Christ

Communion | Here I Am

Refrain
Here I am, standing right beside you
Here I am; do not be afraid
Here I am, waiting like a lover
I am here; here I am

Verses
Do not fear when the tempter calls you
Do not fear even though you fall
Do not fear; I have conquered evil
Do not fear; never be afraid

I am here in the face of ev’ry child
I am here in ev’ry warm embrace
I am here with tenderness and mercy
Here I am; I am here

I am here in the midst of ev’ry trial
I am here in the face of despair
I am here when pardoning your brother
Here I am; I am here

Recessional | I Send You Out

I baptize you in the name of the Father
I baptize you in the name of the Son
I baptize you with the Holy Spirit
Go out and spread Good News!

I send you out on a mission of love
I send you out on a mission of love
I send you out on a mission of love
And know that I am with you always
Until the end of the world

Well, it’s time for us to become people with Spirit
It’s time for us to become people of love
It’s time for us to know that Jesus Christ is risen
Forgives our sins, and brings us new life

I send you out on a mission of love
I send you out on a mission of love
I send you out on a mission of love
And know that I am with you always
Until the end of the world
