Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
Entrance:
1. The
King of love my shepherd is,
Whose
goodness fails me never;
I
nothing lack if I am his,
And
he is mine forever.
2. And
so, through all the length of days
Your
goodness fails me never;
Good
Shepherd, may I sing your praise
Within
your house forever.
Text: Psalm 23; Henry W. Baker, 1821-1877, alt.
Presentation:
1. Where
charity and love prevail,
There
God is ever found;
Brought
here together by Christ’s love,
By
love are we thus bound.
2. With
grateful joy and holy fear
God’s
charity we learn;
Let
us with heart and mind and soul
Now
love God in return.
3. Forgive
we now each other’s faults
As
we our faults confess;
And
let us love each other well
In
Christian holiness.
4. Let
strife among us be unknown,
Let
all contention cease;
Be
God’s the glory that we seek,
Be
ours God’s holy peace.
5. Let
us recall that in our midst
Dwells
Gods begotten Son;
As
members of his body joined,
We
are in Christ made one.
6. No
race nor creed can love exclude
If
honored be God’s name;
Our
family embraces all
Whose
Father is the same.

Recessional:
Verse 1. Love
divine, all loves excelling,
Joy
of heav'n to earth come down!
Fix
in us your humble dwelling,
All
your faithful mercies crown.
Jesus,
source of all compassion,
Love
unbounded, love all pure;
Visit
us with your salvation,
Let
your love in us endure.
Verse 3. Finish
then your new creation,
Pure
and spotless, gracious Lord.
Let
us see your great salvation
Perfectly
in you restored.
Changed
from glory into glory,
Till
in heav'n we take our place,
Till
we sing before the_Almighty
Lost
in wonder, love and praise.

and take charge of our salvation. Watch over us day and night and preserve us
from all occasions of sin. Obtain for us purity of body and soul, and the
spirit of prayer, through your intercession with Jesus. Grant us a spirit of
sacrifice, humility, and self-denial. Obtain for us a burning love for Jesus in
the Most Blessed Sacrament, and a tender love for Mary, our Mother. Saint
Joseph, be with us in life, be with us in death, and obtain for us a favorable judgement
from Jesus, our merciful Savior. Amen.
