SONGS - FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER

OPENING HYMN: ALLELUJA! SING TO JESUS

Alleluia! Sing to Jesus;
His the sceptre, his the throne;
Alleluia! his the triumph,
His the victory alone!
Hark! The songs of peaceful Zion
Thunder like a mighty flood:
"Jesus out of every nation
Has redeemed us by his blood."

Alleluia! Not as orphans
Are we left in sorrow now;
Alleluia! he is near us;
Faith believes nor questions how.
Though the cloud from sight received him,
When the forty days were o'er,
Shall our hearts forget his promise?
"I am with you evermore."

PSALM:

R. Great are the works of the Lord.

COMMUNION HYMN: RAIN DOWN

Rain down, rain down, rain down your love on your people

Rain down, rain down, rain down your love, God of life

Faithful and true is the Word of our God

All of God′s works are so worthy of trust

God's mercy falls on the just and the right

Full of God′s love is the earth R.

We who revere and find hope in our God

Live in the kindness and joy of God's wing

God will protect us from darkness and death

God will not leave us to starve R.

God of creation, we long for Your truth

You are the water of life that we thirst

Grant that Your love and peace touch our hearts

All of our hope lies in You. R.

CLOSING HYMN: REGINA COELI

Regina coeli, laetare, alleluia:

Quia quem meruisti portare. alleluia,

Resurrexit, sicut dixit, alleluia,

Ora pro nobis Deum, alleluia.
