1. Praise to the holiest in the height,
And in the depth be praise,
In all his words most wonderful,
Most sure in all his ways.
2. O loving wisdom of our God!
When all was sin and shame,
A second Adam to the fight
And to the rescue came
3. O wisest love! That flesh and blood
Which did in Adam fail,
Should strive afresh against the foe,
Should strive and should prevail;
4. And that a higher gift than grace
Should flesh and blood refine,
God's presence and his very self
And Essence all divine.
5. O gen'rous love! that he who smote
In man for man the foe,
The double agony in man
For man should undergo;
6. And in the garden secretly,
And on the Cross on high,
Should teach his brethren, and inspire
To suffer and to die.
7. Praise to the Holiest in the height,
And in the depth be praise,
In all his words most wonderful,
Most sure in all his ways.

Psalm 79(80):9,12-16,19-20
RESPONSE: (Cantor, then all)
R:/ The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel;
The vineyard of the Lord.
1. You brought a vine out of Egypt;
to plant it you drove out the nations.
It stretched out its branches to the sea,
to the Great River it stretched out its shoots.
R:/ The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel;
The vineyard of the Lord.
2. Then why have you broken down its walls?
It is plucked by all who pass by.
It is ravaged by the boar of the forest,
devoured by the beasts of the field.
R:/ The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel;
The vineyard of the Lord.
3. God of hosts, turn again, we implore,
look down from heaven and see.
Visit this vine and protect it,
the vine your right hand has planted.
R:/ The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel;
The vineyard of the Lord.
4. And we shall never forsake you again;
give us life that we may call upon your name.
God of hosts, bring us back;
let your face shine on us and we shall be saved.
The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel.
R:/ The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel;
The vineyard of the Lord.

Alleluia (x5)
I call you friends, says the Lord,
because I have made known to you
everything I have learnt from my Father.
Celtic Alleluia by Christopher Walker
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee;
blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners, now
and at the hour of our death.

In bread we bring You Lord, our body's labour
In wine we offer You our spirit's grief
We do not ask you, Lord, who is my neighbour?
But stand united now, one in belief
Oh we have gladly heard
Your Word, Your holy Word
And now in answer, Lord, our gifts we bring
Our selfish hearts make true
Our failing faith renew
Our lives belongs to You, our Lord and King.
The bread we offer You is blessed and broken
And it becomes for us our spirit's food
Over the cup we bring your Word is spoken
Make it Your gift to us, your healing Blood
Take all that daily toil
Plants in our heart's poor soil
Take all we start and spoil, each hopeful dream
The chances we have missed
The graces we resist
Lord, in Thy Eucharist, take and redeem.

have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away
the sins of the world,
have mercy on us.

Mass of The Holy Trinity | Music by Mike Stanley & Andy Ross © CJM MUSIC
My Jesus,
I believe that You are present
in this Holy Sacrament of the altar.
I love You above all things
and I passionately desire
to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,
come spiritually into my soul
so that I may unite myself wholly to You
now and forever. Amen.
Based on a prayer of St Alphonsus Liguorit
1. Love divine, all loves excelling,
Joy of heaven to earth come down:
Fix in us your humble dwelling,
All your faithful mercies crown.
Jesus, you are all compassion,
boundless love that makes us whole
Visit us with your salvation,
Enter every trembling soul.
2. Come, Almighty, to deliver,
Let us all Thy grace receive;
Suddenly return and never,
Nevermore Thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing,
Serve Thee as Thy hosts above,
Pray and praise Thee without ceasing,
Glory in Thy perfect love.
3. Finish then Thy new creation,
Pure and spotless let us be;
Let us see Thy great salvation,
Perfectly restored in Thee!
Changed from glory into glory,
Till in heaven we take our place;
Till we cast our crowns before Thee,
Lost in wonder, love and praise.
Words: Charles Wesley
Music: Linda Jones | Jubilate Hymns

For the fruits of all creation,
thanks be to God;
for these gifts to every nation,
thanks be to God;
for the ploughing, sowing, reaping,
silent growth while we are sleeping,
future needs in earth's safe keeping,
thanks be to God.
2. In the just reward of labour,
God's will is done;
in the help we give our neighbour,
God's will is done;
in our world-wide task of caring
for the hungry and despairing
in the harvests we are sharing,
God's will is done.
3. For the harvests of the Spirit,
thanks be to God;
for the good we all inherit,
thanks be to God;
for the wonders that astound us,
for the truths that still confound us,
most of all, that love has found us,
thanks be to God.
