Gospel Acclamation: 261 Alleluia for Easter

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

Offertory: 627 This is my body

This is My body, broken for you,
bringing you wholeness, making you free.
Take it and eat it, and when you do,
do it in love for Me.

This is my blood poured out for you,
bringing forgiveness, making you free.
Take it and drink it, and when you do
do it in love for Me.

Back to my Father soon I shall go.
Do not forget me; then you will see
I am still with you, and you will know
you're very close to me.

Filled with my Spirit, how you will grow!
You are my branches; I am the tree.
If you are faithful, others will know
you are alive in me.

Love one another - I have loved you,
and I have shown you how to be free;
serve one another, and when you do,
do it in love for me.


Holy: 570 Gathering Mass
Holy, Holy, Holy Lord,
Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts.
Heaven and earth, Heaven and earth
are full of your glory, Lord God of hosts.
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest.
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest.

Blessed, blessed is he who comes,
Blessed, blessed is he who comes,
Blessed is he, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest


Memorial Acclamation: 571 Save us, Saviour of the world (Gathering Mass)

Save us, Saviour of the world,
Save us, Saviour of the world,

you have set us free.

Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest

Amen, Amen.

972 - Do not be afraid

Refrain:
Do not be afraid for I have redeemed you
I have called you by your name - you are mine

1. When you walk through the waters I'll be with you
You will never sink beneath the waves.

2. When the fire is burning all around you
You will never be consumed by the flames.

3. When the fear of loneliness is looming
then remember I am at your side.

4. When you dwell in the shelter of the stranger
remember you are precious sin my eyes

5. You are mine, O my child, I am your Father
and I love you with a perfect love.


Final hymn: 969 Lord of all hopefulness

Lord of all hopefulness, Lord of all joy,
Whose trust, ever childlike, no cares could destroy,
Be there at our waking, and give us, we pray,
Your bliss in our hearts, Lord,
At the break of the day.

Lord of all eagerness, Lord of all faith,
Whose strong hands were skilled at the plane and the lathe,
Be there at our labours and give us, we pray,
Your strength in our hearts, Lord,
At the noon of the day.

Lord of all kindliness, Lord of all grace,
Your hands swift to welcome, Your arms to embrace.
Be there at our homing, and give us, we pray,
Your love in our hearts, Lord,
At the eve of the day.

Lord of all gentleness, Lord of all calm,
Whose voice is contentment, whose presence is balm,
Be there at our sleeping, and give us, we pray,
Your peace in our hearts, Lord,
At the end of the day.
