Hymns for Sunday Mass Welcome, all ye noble saints of old As now before your very eyes unfold The wonders all so long ago foretold. God and man at table are sat down.

Elders, martyrs, all are falling down; Prophets, patriarchs are gath'ring round. What angels longed to see now man has found: God and man at table are sat down.

Who is this who spreads the vic'try feast? Who is this who makes our warring cease? Jesus, Risen Savior, Prince of Peace. God and man at table are sat down.

Beggars, lame, and harlots also here; Repentant publicans are drawing near. Wayward sons come home without a fear. God and man at table are sat down.

Worship in the presence of the Lord With joyful songs and hearts in one accord. And let our Host at table be adored. God and man at table are sat down.

When at last this earth shall pass away, When Jesus and his Bride are one to stay, The feast of love is just begun that day. God and man at table are sat down. This is my body, broken for you, bringing you wholeness, making you free, take it and eat it and when you do, do it in love for me. This is my blood poured out for you, bringing forgiveness making you free. Take it and drink it, and when you do, do it in love for me. Back to my Father soon I shall go Do not forget me, then you will see I am still with you, and you will know you’re very close to me. Filled with my Spirit, how you will grow You are my branches, I am the tree If you are faithful, others will know you are alive in me. Love one another, I have loved you and I have shown you how to be free serve one another, and when you do do it in love for me.

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord, holy is the Lord God almighty who was and is and is to come; holy, holy, holy is the Lord.

Jesus… Worthy… Glory…

I will sing, I will sing a song unto the Lord. (3x)

Alleluia, glory to the Lord.

Allelu, alleluia, glory to the Lord.

Allelu, alleluia, glory to the Lord.

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy (3x)

Alleluia, glory to the Lord.

that Jesus Christ is Lord.

In his name, in his name we have the victory (3x) Alleluia, glory to the Lord
