Liturgy of the eucharist

Preparation of the Gifts: Sing with All the Saints in Glory (Tune: HYMN TO JOY)

1. Sing with all the saints in glory, Sing the resurrection song!

Death and sorrow, earth’s dark story, to the former days belong.

All around the clouds are breaking, soon the storms of time shall cease;

In God’s likeness we awaken, knowing everlasting peace.

2. O what glory, far exceeding all that eye has yet perceived!

Holiest hearts, for ages pleading, Never that full joy conceived.

God has promised, Christ prepares it, There on high our welcome waits.

Ev’ry humble spirit share it; Christ has passed the eternal gates.

SPIRITUAL COMMUNION PRAYER

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to

receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into

my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be

separated from You. Amen.

Communion Hymn: On Eagle’s Wings

Verse 1: You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord,

Who abide in his shadow for life,

Say to the Lord, “My refuge, my rock in whom I trust!”

Verse 2: The snare of the fowler will never capture you,

and famine will bring you no fear;

Under his wings your refuge, his faithfulness your shield. REFRAIN above.

5

Verse 3: You need not fear the terror of the night,

Nor the arrow that flies by day;

Though thousands fall about you, near you it shall not come. REFRAIN

Verse 4: For to his angels he’s given a command to guard you in all of your ways.

Upon their hands, they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. REFRAIN
