Entrance Hymn: Alleluia, Alleluia, Give Thanks #462
Alleluia, alleluia, give thanks to the risen Lord.
Alleluia, alleluia, give praise to his Name.
Jesus is Lord of all the earth.
He is the King of creation.
Spread the good news o’er all the earth:
Jesus has died and has risen.
We have been crucified with Christ.
Now we shall live for ever.
God has proclaimed his gracious gift:
Life eternal for all who believe.
Come, let us praise the living God,
Joyfully sing to our Savior.

Preparation Hymn: Salve Regina #780
Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiæ,
vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve.
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Hevæ,
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
in hac lacrimarum valle.
Eia, ergo, advocata nostra, illos tuos
misericordes oculos ad nos converte;
Et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui,
nobis post hoc exsilium ostende.
O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria.
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy,
Hail our life, our sweetness and our hope.
To thee do we cry,
Poor banished children of Eve;
To thee do we send up our sighs,
Mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn then, most gracious advocate,
Thine eyes of mercy toward us;
And after this our exile,
Show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving,
O sweet Virgin Mary.

Communion Hymn: I Received the Living God #809
I received the living God, and my heart is full of joy.
I received the living God, and my heart is full of joy.
Jesus said: “I am the Bread
Kneaded long to give you life;
You who will partake of me
Need not ever fear to die.”
Jesus said: “I am the Vine,
And my branches you shall be;
Come and drink the saving cup,
Till the Kingdom you shall see.”
Jesus said: “I am the Way,
And my Father longs for you;
So I come to bring you home
To be one with him anew.”
Jesus said: “I am the Truth;
If you follow close to me,
You will know me in your heart,
And my word shall make you free.”
Jesus said: “I am the Life
Far from whom no thing can grow,
But receive this living bread,
And my Spirit you shall know.”

Be joyful, Mary, heav’nly Queen,
be joyful, Mary!
Your grief is changed to joy serene,
Alleluia!
Rejoice, rejoice, O Mary!
The Son you bore by heaven’s grace,

Did by his death our guilt erase,
Alleluia!
Rejoice, rejoice, O Mary!
The Lord has risen from the dead,
be joyful, Mary!
He rose in glory as he said,
Alleluia!
Rejoice, rejoice, O Mary!
Then pray to God, O Virgin fair,

That he our souls to heaven bear,
Alleluia!
Rejoice, rejoice, O Mary!
