Passion Sunday & Holy Week Family Services


UPDATES: (15/4) A huge Thank You for those who attended rehearsals last Monday and Thursday.  Our last rehearsal for Holy Week Family services will be:  April 17  SUNDAY    1:30pm-3:30pm  -   Parish Centre - final rehearsal for Holy Week services
Please note that I have updated all the songs and lists for Passion Sunday, Holy Thursday and Good Friday.  Since this post is too long, I have a separate entry for Easter Sunday here: http://may-i-g.blogspot.com/2011/04/easter-sunday-24-april-2011-1030-mass.html. Thanks!

PASSION SUNDAY:
Could everyone please arrive at 10 am and be aware there will be some parking restrictions.  In fact, if you can walk to church, that might be better because the Palm procession will start outside and parking won't be allowed in the church's driveway and parking lot. We will have a quick rehearsal in the church and then go outside for the Palm procession.

Hosanna, hosanna,
Hosanna in the highest!
Hosanna, hosanna,
Hosanna in the highest!

  (Chorus 1)
     Lord we lift up Your name

Blessed is he who comes
In the name of the Lord!

Entrance :  230  Ride on, ride on in majesty (Tune: Winchester, same as On Jordan's Bank)
by Henry H. Milman, 1791-1868
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-qDQSjnzH8

Ride on, ride on in majesty!
Hark all the tribes 'hosanna' cry
Thine humble beast pursues his road
With palms and scattered garments strowed

Ride on, ride on in majesty!
In lowly pomp ride on to die!
O Christ, Thy triumphs now begin
O'er captive death and conquered sin

Ride on, ride on, in majesty!
The winged squadrons of the sky
Look down with sad and wondering eyes
To see the approaching Sacrifice.

Ride on, ride on in majesty!
Thy last and fiercest strife is nigh
The Father on His sapphire throne
Expects His own anointed Son.

Ride on, ride on in majesty!
In lowly pomp ride on to die!
Bow Thy meek head to mortal pain
Then take, O God, Thy power, and reign.

Responsorial Psalm (not sung)

Gospel Acclamation: 185 Gospel Acclamation for Lent

Holy, holy, holy Lord
God of power, God of might
Heaven and earth are full of your glory
Hosanna in the highest
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna in the highest

until you come in glory.

Lamb of God  593 Litany of breaking of the bread (Lenten verses)
sample:  http://www.ocp.org/compositions/10538

Jesus, source of everlasting life;
Jesus, source of reconciling love: (refrain)

Jesus, by whose suffering we are healed:
Jesus, man of sorrows, friend of grief: (refrain)

Jesus, crucified, transcending time:
Jesus, Saviour, by whose death we live: (refrain)

Communion:  249 Stay with me (Taize chant by Jacques Berthier)

Stay with me, remain here with me
watch and pray, watch and pray
(repeat)

752 My Song is love unknown

My song is love unknown,
My Saviour’s love to me;
Love to the loveless shown,
That they might lovely be.
O who am I, that for my sake
My Lord should take, frail flesh and die?

He came from His blest throne
Salvation to bestow;
But men made strange, and none
The longed for Christ would know:
But O! my Friend, my Friend indeed,
Who at my need His life did spend.

Sometimes they strew His way,
and His sweet praises sing;
Resounding all the day
Hosannas to their King:
Then “Crucify!” is all their breath, and for His death they thirst and cry.

Why, what hath my Lord done?
What makes this rage and spite?
He made the lame to run,
He gave the blind their sight,
Sweet injuries! Yet they at these
Themselves displease, and ’gainst Him rise.

They rise and needs will have
My dear Lord made away;
A murderer they saved,
The Prince of life they slay,
Yet cheerful He to suffering goes,
That He His foes from thence might free.

In life, no house, no home
My Lord on earth might have;
In death no friendly tomb
But what a stranger gave.
What may I say? Heav’n was His home;
But mine the tomb wherein He lay.

Here might I stay and sing,
No story so divine;
Never was love, dear King!
Never was grief like Thine.
This is my Friend, in Whose sweet praise
I all my days could gladly spend.

NO FINAL HYMN: Congregation leaves in silence, to indicate that the mass leads on to something greater.
