Sixth Sunday of Easter 


6th Sunday of Easter ~ 14th May 2023

Entrance Song


To God be the glory, great things he has done;

so loved he the world that he gave us his Son,

who yielded his life in atonement for sin,

and opened the life-gate that all may go in.


REFRAIN:

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord;

let the earth hear his voice!

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord;

let the people rejoice!

O come to the Father through Jesus the Son,

and give him the glory; great things he has done.


O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,

to every believer the promise of God;

the vilest offender who truly believes,

that moment from Jesus a pardon receives.


REFRAIN:

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord;

let the earth hear his voice!

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord;

let the people rejoice!

O come to the Father through Jesus the Son,

and give him the glory; great things he has done.



Great things he has taught us,
great things he has done,

and great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;

but purer and higher and greater will be

our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.


REFRAIN:

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord;

let the earth hear his voice!

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord;

let the people rejoice!

O come to the Father through Jesus the Son,

and give him the glory; great things he has done.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalm  65:1-7, 16. 20 R/. 1


RESPONSE: (Cantor, then all)

Cry out with joy to God, all the earth, cry out with joy to God, all the earth.


Cry out with joy to God all the earth,

 O sing to the glory of his name.

O render him glorious praise.

 Say to God: ‘How tremendous your deeds!


R/: Cry out with joy to God, all the earth (2)



‘Before you all the earth shall bow;

 shall sing to you, sing to your name!’

Come and see the works of God,

 tremendous his deeds among men.


R/: Cry out with joy to God, all the earth (2)


He turned the sea into dry land,

 they passed through the river dry-shod.

Let our joy then be in him;

 he rules for ever by his might.


R/: Cry out with joy to God, all the earth (2)


Come and hear, all who fear God.

 I will tell what he did for my soul:

Blessed be God who did not reject my prayer

 nor withhold his love from me.


R/: Cry out with joy to God, all the earth (2)

Offertory Song


Be still, and know I am with you,

   Be still, I am the Lord.

   I will not leave you orphans.

   I leave with you my world. Be one.


  You fear the light may be fading,

   You fear to lose your way.

   Be still, and know I am near you.

   I'll lead you to the day and the sun.


   Be glad the day you have sorrow.

   Be glad, for then you live.

   The stars shine only in darkness,

   and in your need I give my peace.

Words & Music: Anne Conway

Heaven and earth are full of your glory.

Hosanna in the highest.


Blessed is he who comes in

the name of the Lord.

Hosanna, hosanna in the highest.

Hosanna in the highest.

grant us peace.

Prayer of Spiritual Communion

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

Old things have passed away

Your love has stayed the same

Your constant grace remains the cornerstone

Things that we thought were dead

Are breathing in life again

You cause Your Son to shine on darkest nights

For all that You’ve done

We will pour out our love

This will be our anthem song

You are the One our, our hearts adore

  

VERSE 2:

The hopeless have found their hope

The orphans now have a home

All that was lost has found its place in You

You make us strong instead

You took these rags and made us beautiful

For all that You’ve done

We will pour out our love

This will be our anthem song
