Gathering | God of Wonders

Lord of all creation
…of water, earth and sky
The heavens are your Tabernacle
Glory to the Lord on high

God of wonders beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
The universe declares Your majesty
You are holy, holy

Lord of heaven and earth
Lord of heaven and earth

Hallelujah! To the Lord of heaven and earth
Hallelujah! To the Lord of heaven and earth
Hallelujah! To the Lord of heaven and earth

And God of wonders beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
The universe declares Your majesty
You are holy, holy

Responsorial Psalm | Ps. 80 The Vineyard of the Lord

The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel.

R./ The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel.

A vine from Egypt you transplanted;
you drove away the nations and planted it.
It put forth its foliage to the Sea,
its shoots as far as the River.

R./ The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel.

Why have you broken down its walls,
so that every passer-by plucks its fruit,
The boar from the forest lays it waste,
and the beasts of the field feed upon it?

R./ The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel.

Once again, O LORD of hosts,
look down from heaven, and see;
take care of this vine,
and protect what your right hand has planted,
the son of man whom you yourself made strong.

R./ The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel.

Then we will no more withdraw from you;
give us new life, and we will call upon your name.
O LORD, God of hosts, restore us;
if your face shine upon us, then we shall be saved.

R./ The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel.

Preparation of the Gifts | We Bring Our Gifts to Your Altar

[Skip to 1:52]

Prepare our hearts to receive You, O Lord God of hosts
Cleanse us and wash away our sins
We sing Your praise with the angels and saints at Your throne
For this is where Heaven enters in
Prepare our hearts to receive You, O Lord

We bring our gifts to Your altar, O Lord God of hosts
May our sacrifice be pleasing in Your sight
Fruit of the earth and work of human hands
Which will become for us the Bread of Life
We bring our gifts to Your altar, O Lord

We bring our gifts to Your altar, O Lord

Let us live our lives so that all might see
that our hearts are restless till they rest in thee
Let us build your kingdom in truth and grace

Shattering the darkness of night

Let us build your kingdom in truth and grace
so that all might know they have a rightful place
