Gathering | Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind, but now I see

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

My chains are gone, I’ve been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love
Amazing grace

Responsorial Psalm | Ps. 34 Taste and See

R./ Taste and see the goodness of the Lord.
Taste and see the goodness of the Lord.

I will bless the LORD at all times;
            his praise shall be ever in my mouth.
Let my soul glory in the LORD;
            the lowly will hear me and be glad.

R./ Taste and see the goodness of the Lord.
Taste and see the goodness of the Lord.

Glorify the LORD with me,
            let us together extol his name.
I sought the LORD, and he answered me
            and delivered me from all my fears.

R./ Taste and see the goodness of the Lord.
Taste and see the goodness of the Lord.

Look to him that you may be radiant with joy,
            and your faces may not blush with shame.
When the poor one called out, the LORD heard,
            and from all his distress he saved him.

R./ Taste and see the goodness of the Lord.
Taste and see the goodness of the Lord.
