Feast of the Ascension



It seems odd to be celebrating the Feast of the Ascension on a Sunday instead of a Thursday but that is what happened this Sunday. Some cynics (some people might describe choirboy as cynical) would suggest that this is a desparate ploy by the Church to plug the gaps of failing attendances at mass on feasts such as the Ascension - I couldn't possibly say that. Nevertheless, our music liturgy was centred around the Ascension and it was particularly joyous with many people saying how much they had enjoyed the music, so a big thank you to all members of the choir and musicians for your continuing dedication and effort. We are also on the countdown to Father Stephen's departure and his largess knows no bounds as we prepare for new hymn books and an augmented system of amplification.

Entry: - Alleluia, sing to Jesus

Gloria: - Gloria

Gospel Acclamation: - Seek ye first (verse 1)

Offertory: - Blessed be God

Sanctus:- Celtic Liturgy – Holy Holy

Mem Accl: -
Dying you destroyed our death, rising you restored our life
Come Lord Jesus come, come again in glory (repeat)

Come Lord Jesus come, come again in glory (repeat)

Amen: - Amen, Amen, Amen
We will sing of Your love forever. We will sing Your praise forever Amen
Amen, Amen, Amen

Agnus Dei: - Mass of Peace

Communion: - Bless the Lord my soul

Hail Holy Queen

Recessional: - Lord for tomorrow
