Entrance Hymn: Immaculate Mary (Gather 783)
Immaculate Mary, your praises we sing;
You reign now in splendor with Jesus our King.
Ave, Ave, Ave, Maria.
Ave, Ave, Maria.
Predestined for Christ by eternal decree,
God willed you both virgin and mother to be.
To you by an angel, the Lord God made known
The grace of the Spirit, the gift of the Son.
Most blest of all women, you heard and believed;
Most blest is the fruit of your womb then conceived.
The angels rejoiced when you brought forth God’s Son;
Your joy is the joy of all ages to come.
Your child is the Savior, all hope lies in him:
He gives us new life and redeems us from sin.
In glory for ever now close to your Son,
All ages will praise you for all God has done.

Communion Hymn: I know that my Redeemer Lives (BB 231)
I know that my Redeemer lives,
the One who calls me home.
I long to see God face to face,
to see with my own eyes.
I know that my Redeemer lives, that I shall rise again.
I know that I shall one day see
the goodness of the Lord,
when God will wipe away our tears,
and death will be no more.
The last day I shall rise again,
shall be remade like God.
My home shall be by God’s own side,
the dying, rising Lord.

Concluding Hymn: Sing of Mary (Gather 778)
Sing of Mary meek and lowly,
Virgin mother pure and mild,
Sing of God’s own Son most holy,
Who became her little child.
Fairest child of fairest mother,
God the Lord who came to earth,
Word made flesh, our very brother,
Takes our nature by his birth.
Sing of Jesus, son of Mary,
In the home at Nazareth.
Toil and labor cannot weary
Love enduring unto death.
Constant was the love he gave her,
Though he went forth from her side,
Forth to preach, and heal, and suffer,
Till on Calvary he died.
Glory be to God the Father;
Glory be to God the Son;
Glory be to God the Spirit;
Glory to the Three in One.
From the heart of blessed Mary,
From all saints the song ascends,
And the church the strain reechoes
Unto earth’s remotest ends.
