1. O let all who thirst, let them come to the water.

And let all who have nothing, let them come to the Lord:

without money, without price. 

Why should you pay the price, except for the Lord?

2. And let all who seek, let them come to the water.

And let all who have nothing, let them come to the Lord:

without money, without strife. 

Why should you spend your life, except for the Lord?

3. And let all who toil, let them come to the water.

And let all who are weary, let them come to the Lord:

all who labor, without rest. How can your soul find rest,

except for the Lord?

4. And let all the poor, let them come to the water.

Bring the ones who are laden,

bring them all to the Lord:

bring the children without might. Easy the load and light:

Come to the Lord. Come to the Lord.

Come to the Lord. Come to the Lord.

Gospel Acclamation  261 alleluia (plainchant)

Offertory 607 Let all mortal flesh keep silence 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywVMxW3BUW8

Let all mortal flesh keep silence,

And with fear and trembling stand;

Ponder nothing worldly minded,

For with blessing in His hand

Christ our God to Earth descendeth,

Our full homage to demand.

King of Kings, yet born of Mary,

As of old on Earth He stood,

Lord of Lords in human vesture,

in the Body and the Blood.

He will give to all the faithful

his own self for heav’nly food.

Rank on rank the host of heaven

preads its vanguard on the way,

as the Light of Light descendeth

from the realms of endless day,

that the pow’rs of hell may vanish

as the darkness clears away.

At His feet the six-winged Seraph,

Cherubim with sleepless eye,

veil their faces to the Presence,

as with ceaseless voice they cry,

‘Alleluia, alleluia,

Alleluia, Lord, most High!’

Holy, Holy plainchant

Mem. Acc  plainchant (we proclaim)

Lamb of God plainchant

Wait for the Lord, whose day is near

Wait for the Lord, keep watch, take heart.

Final  986 In the Day of the Lord

Refrain

In the day of the Lord, the sun will shine

like the dawn of eternal day.

All creation will rise to dance and sing

the glory of the Lord!

1. And on that day will justice triumph,

on that day will all be free:

free from want, free from fear, free to live!

2. Then shall the nations throng together

to the mountain of the Lord:

they shall walk in the light of the Lord!

3. And they shall beat their swords to plowshares;

there will be an end to war:

one in peace, one in love, one in God!

4. For Israel shall be delivered,

and the desert lands will bloom.

Say to all, “Do not fear. Here is your God!”

5. And on that day of Christ in glory,

God will wipe away our tears,

and the dead shall rise up from their graves!

6. O give us eyes to see your glory,

give us hearts to understand.

Let our ears hear your voice ‘til you come!
