https://youtu.be/NQWcTjA8e90?si=MTVwFDNqpy_bf-OJ

Love is His word, Love is His way,
Feasting with kin, fasting alone,
Living and dying, rising again
Love only love is His way.

Refrain:
Richer than gold
Is the love of my Lord.
Better than splendour and wealth.

Love is His way, love is His mark,
Sharing His last Passover feast.
Christ at the table, host to the Twelve
Love, only love, is His mark.

Love is his mark, love is His sign,
Bread for our strength,
wine for our joy,
This is my body, this is my blood
Love, only love is His sign.

Love is His sign, love is His news,
Do this He said Lest you forget
All my deep sorrow, all my dear blood,
Love, only love, is His news.

Love is His news, Love is His name,
We are His own, chosen and called,
Family, brethren, cousins and kin.
Love, only love is His name.

Love is His name, love is His law,
Hear His command, all who are His,
Love one another, I have loved you
Love, only love, is His law.

Love is His law, Love is His word,
Love of the Lord, Father, and Word,
Love of the Spirit, God ever one,
Love, only love, is His word.

Gloria: Psallite Gloria

Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to people
of good will.
We praise you,
we bless you,
we adore you,
we glorify you,
we give you thanks for your great glory,
Lord God, heavenly King,
O God, almighty Father.

Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son,
Lord God, Lamb of God,
Son of the Father,
you take away the sins of the world,
have mercy on us;
you take away the sins of the world,
receive our prayer;
you are seated at the right hand
of the Father,
have mercy on us.

For you alone are the Holy One,
you alone are the Lord,
you alone are the Most High,
Jesus Christ,
with the Holy Spirit,
in the glory of God the Father.
Amen.


Alleluia 710 Celtic Alleluia

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

Offertory: 609 In bread we bring you

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.

O 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 life 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.


Sanctus: 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 When we eat this Bread (Gathering Mass)
When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup,
we proclaim your Death, O Lord,
we proclaim your Death, O Lord,
until you come again.

(optional)
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest


Amen: 572 Amen (Gathering Mass)

Amen, Amen.


Lamb of God: 590 Storrington Mass

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

Lamb of God, you take away
the sins of the world:
grant us peace, grant us peace.


Communion:

631 Bread of life, truth eternal

Refrain:
Bread of Life, Truth Eternal,
Broken now to set us free,
The risen Christ, his saving power,
is here in bread and wine for me.

Lord, I know I am not worthy to receive you.
You speak the words, and I am healed.
Here at your table, love’s mystery,
One bread, one cup, one family, (Refrain)

Lord, by your cross you reconciled us to the Father.
We have only to believe.
Your sacrifice, our victory
Now by your blood we are redeemed. (Refrain)

Lord, you gave your people Manna in the desert.
Still, you fulfil our every need.
Lord, when we hunger, Lord, when we thirst,
We come to you, and we receive. (Refrain)


55 Our Blessing Cup (Bob Hurd)

Refrain:
Our blessing cup is a communion
with the Blood of Christ.
And the bread we break it is a sharing
with the Body of the Lord.

1. How can we make a return 
for all the goodness God has shown?
We will take the cup of life,
and call upon God's name. (refrain)

2. Precious indeed in your sight
the life and death of those you love.
We are your servants
for you have set us free

3. Gracious and merciful God,
we give you thanks and bless your name
with all your people,
praise and glory to your name.

4. For you have heard my voice
for you have heard my pleading
Though death surrounded me,
you heard and answered me.


Final: #629 I am the Bread of Life (up to Verse 4)

I am the Bread of Life.
You who come to Me shall not hunger;
and who believe in Me shall not thirst
No one can come to Me
Unless the Father draw him

Refrain:
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up on the last day

The bread that I will give
is My flesh for the life of the world
and if you eat of this bread
you shall live for ever
you shall live for ever (refrain)

Unless you eat
Of the flesh of the Son of Man
And drink of His blood
And drink of His blood
You shall not have life within you                  
(refrain)

I am the resurrection
I am the life
If you believe in Me
Even though you die,
You shall live for ever (refrain)

Yes, Lord, I believe
That You are the Christ
The Son of God
Who has come 
Into the world (refrain)
