Blessed Be Your Name

Blessed Be Your Name
In the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name

Blessed Be Your name
When I’m found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed Be Your name

Every blessing You pour out, I’ll
turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be Your name
When the sun’s shining down on me
When the world’s ‘all as it should be’

Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there’s pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name

Every blessing You pour out I’ll
turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name

That came crashing over me

The hope of all the earth
Is rest assured in Your great love

You are magnificent
Eternally wonderful, glorious

You call forth songs of joy
As the morning wakes
We, Your children give You praise

Gathering | The Cry of the Poor

The Lord hears the cry of the poor
Blessed be the Lord

I will bless the Lord at all times
with praise ever in my mouth
Let my soul glory in the Lord
who will hear the cry of the poor

The Lord hears the cry of the poor
Blessed be the Lord

Let the lowly hear and be glad
the Lord listens to their pleas
and to hearts broken, God is near
who will hear the cry of the poor

The Lord hears the cry of the poor
Blessed be the Lord

Ev’ry spirit crushed, God will save
will be ransom for their lives
will be safe shelter for their fears
and will hear the cry of the poor

The Lord hears the cry of the poor
Blessed be the Lord

Responsorial Psalm | Ps. 1 Blessed Are They Who Hope in the Lord

R./ Blessed are they who hope in the Lord
Blessed are they who hope in the Lord

Repeat

Blessed the man who follows not the counsel of the wicked
nor walks in the way of sinners
nor sits in the company of the insolent
but delights in the law of the Lord
and meditates on His law day and night

R./ Blessed are they who hope in the Lord
Blessed are they who hope in the Lord

He is like a tree planted near running water
that yields its fruit in due season
and whose leaves never fade
Whatever he does, prospers

R./ Blessed are they who hope in the Lord
Blessed are they who hope in the Lord

Not so the wicked, not so
they are like chaff which the wind drives away
For the Lord watches over the way of the just
but the way of the wicked vanishes

R./ Blessed are they who hope in the Lord
Blessed are they who hope in the Lord

Preparation of the Gifts | Altar of Hope

Quiet your spirit
Open your heart
Draw close and enter
just as you are

All are invited
together with Heaven
and witness the myst’ry
at the altar of hope

Be still, be still and know that He is God
Be still, be still and know that He is God

Though earth be shaken
though mountains quake
God is our refuge
where fear fades away

Rest in the silence
and be filled with His peace
as grace overtakes us
at the altar of hope

Be still, be still and know that He is God
Be still, be still and know that He is God

We place at the altar
the gifts of ourselves
Our prayers of thanksgiving
together are blessed

With anticipation
in the stillness we wait
Our off’ring returns to
us at the altar of hope

Be still, be still and know that He is God
Be still, be still and know that He is God
Be still, be still and know that He is God
Be still, be still and know that He is God
