Responsorial Psalm | Ps. 85 Lord, Let Us See Your Kindness
Lord, let us see Your kindness
and grant us Your salvation
R./ Lord, let us see Your kindness
and grant us Your salvation
I will hear what God proclaim
the Lord for He proclaims peace
Near indeed is His salvation
to those who fear Him
glory dwelling in our Land
R./ Lord, let us see Your kindness
and grant us Your salvation
Kindness and truth shall meet
justice and peace shall kiss
Truth shall spring out of the earth
and justice shall look down from Heaven
R./ Lord, let us see Your kindness
and grant us Your salvation
The Lord Himself will give His benefits
Our land shall yield its increase
Justice shall walk, shall walk before Him
and prepare the way of His steps
R./ Lord, let us see Your kindness
and grant us Your salvation

Preparation of the Gifts | Awake, O Sleeper
In the darkest times of life
when our lights refuse to shine
You are there
You are there
When our hearts become like stone
when we live without hope
You are there
You are there
Don’t let your hearts be troubled
Don’t let your hearts be troubled
Refrain
Awake, O sleeper
Arise from slumber
Christ is calling your name
In the midst of life’s decay
when our lives become like graves
rescue us
rescue us
Don’t let your hearts be troubled
Don’t let your hearts be troubled
Refrain (x2)
