Divine Mercy Sunday
April 11, 2021
Entrance
1. Christ
the Lord is ris'n today, Alleluia!
All
on earth with angels say: Alleluia!
Raise
your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
Sing,
O heav'ns; and, earth, reply, Alleluia!
2. Lives
again our glorious King, Alleluia!
Where,
O death, is now your sting? Alleluia!
Once
he died our souls to save, Alleluia!
Where
your victory, O grave? Alleluia!
3. Love's
redeeming work is done, Alleluia!
Fought
the fight, the battle won, Alleluia!
Death
in vain forbids him rise, Alleluia!
Christ
has opened paradise. Alleluia!
Psalm: Give Thanks to the Lord for He is good. His love is everlasting.
Presentation
1. That
Easter day with joy was bright;
The
sun shone out with fairer light
When,
to their longing eyes restored,
The
apostles saw their risen Lord!
2. His
risen flesh with radiance glowed;
His
wounded hands and feet he showed.
Those
scars their solemn witness gave
That
Christ was risen from the grave.
3. O
Jesus, King of gentleness,
With
constant love our hearts possess
That
we may give you all our days
The
tribute of our grateful praise.
4. O
Lord of all, with us abide
In
this our joyful Eastertide;
From
ev'ry weapon death can wield
Your
own redeemed for-ever shield.
5. All
praise, to you, O risen Lord,
Now
both by heav'n and earth adored;
To
God the Father equal praise,
And
God the Spirit, now we raise!
Text: Claro paschali gaudio; Latin 5th C.; tr.
by John M. Neale, 1818-1866, alt.
Communion
Take and eat; take and eat:
this is my body given up for you.
Take and drink; take and drink:
this is my blood given up for you.
1. I
am the Word that spoke and light was made;
I
am the seed that died to be reborn;
I
am the bread that comes from heav'n above;
I
am the vine that fills your cup with joy.
2. I
am the way that leads the exile home;
I
am the truth that sets the captive free;
I
am the life that raises up the dead;
I
am your peace, true peace my gift to you.
3. I
am the Lamb that takes away your sin;
I
am the gate that guards you night and day;
You
are my flock: you know the shepherd's voice;
You
are my own: your ransom is my blood.
4. I
am the cornerstone that God has laid;
A
chosen stone and precious in his eyes;
You
are God's dwelling place, on me you rest;
Like
living stones, a temple for God's praise.
5. I
am the light that came into the world;
I
am the light that darkness cannot hide;
I
am the morning star that never sets;
Lift
up your face, in you my light will shine.
6. I
am the first and last, the Living One;
I
am the Lord who died that you might live;
I
am the bridegroom, this my wedding song;
You
are my bride, come to the marriage feast.

Recessional
1. Jesus
Christ is ris'n today, Alleluia!
Our
triumphant holy day, Alleluia!
Who
did once upon the cross, Alleluia!
Suffer
to redeem our loss. Alleluia!
3. But
the pains which he endured, Alleluia!
Our
salvation have procured; Alleluia!
Now
above the sky he's King, Alleluia!
Where
the angels ever sing. Alleluia!
