Entrance  821  The Kingdom of God 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ol0vIgrdN5s

The kingdom of God is justice and joy;
For Jesus restores what sin would destroy
God's power and glory in Jesus we know
And here and hereafter the kingdom shall grow

The kingdom of God is mercy and grace
The captives are freed, the sinners find place
The outcast are welcomed God's banquet to share
And hope is awakened in place of despair

The kingdom of God is challenge and choice:
Believe the good news, repent and rejoice!
His love for us sinners brought Christ to his cross:
Our crisis of judgement for gain or for loss

God's kingdom is come, the gift and the goal;
In Jesus begun, in heaven made whole,
The heirs of the kingdom shall answer his call;
And all things cry 'Glory!' to God all in all.

Peace to God's people, all people on earth

Praise and thanksgiving to you, Lamb of God.

3. You take away the sin of the world
Have mercy on us, receive our prayer

4. Seated in pow'r at the right of the Father,
Jesus alone is the Lord, the Most High.

5. And with the Spirit of love everlasting.
Reigning in glory for ever Amen.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46FDDHsQUIY


Lord accept the gifts we offer
at this Eucharistic feast,
bread and wine to be transformed now
through the action of thy priest.
Take us, too, Lord, and transform us,
be thy grace in us increased.

May our soul be pure and spotless
as the host of wheat so fine;
may all stain of sin be crushed out,
like the grape that forms the wine,
as we, too, become partakers
in this sacrifice divine.

Take our gifts, almighty Father,
living God, eternal, true,
which we give through Christ, our Saviour,
pleading here for us anew.
Grant salvation to all present,
and our faith and love renew.

Tune: St. Thomas (Tantum Ergo) from S. Webbe's Motetts or Antiphons
Sister M. Teresine Fonder (1897-1988)

Communion    735 We plough the fields and scatter
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5etE4tISGK8

We plough the fields and scatter
The good seed on the land,
But it is fed and watered
By God's almighty hand:
He sends the snow in winter,
The warmth to swell the grain,
The breezes and the sunshine,
And soft, refreshing rain.

Refrain:
All good gifts around us
Are sent from heaven above;
Then thank the Lord,
O thank the Lord,
For all his love.

He only is the maker
Of all things near and far;
He paints the wayside flower,
He lights the evening star;
The winds and waves obey him,
By him the birds are fed;
Much more to us, his children,
He gives our daily bread.

We thank thee then, O Father,
For all things bright and good,
The seed time and the harvest,
Our life, our health, our food.
Accept the gifts we offer
For all thy love imparts,
And what thou most desirest,
Our humble, thankful hearts.

fall afresh on me.

Love Divine, all loves excelling,
Joy of heaven, to earth come down,
Fix in us thy humble dwelling,
All thy faithful mercies crown.
Jesus, thou art all compassion,
Pure unbounded love thou art;
Visit us with thy salvation,
Enter every trembling heart.

Come, almighty to deliver,
Let us all thy grace receive;
Suddenly return, and never,
Never more thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing,
Serve thee as thy hosts above,
Pray, and praise thee, without ceasing,
Glory in thy perfect love.

Finish then thy new creation,
Pure and sinless let us be;
Let us see thy great salvation,
Perfectly restored in thee,
Changed from glory into glory,
Till in heaven we take our place,
Till we cast our crowns before thee,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise!

Lord, You have come to the seashore
Neither searching for the rich nor the wise
desiring only that I should follow.

Refrain:
O Lord, with Your eyes set upon me,
gently smiling, You have spoken my name;
All I longed for I have found by the water.
At your side, I will seek other shores.

Lord, see my goods, my possessions;
in my boat you find no power, no wealth
Will you accept then my nets and labour?
(Refrain)

Lord, take my hands and direct them
Help me spend myself in seeking the lost
returning love for the love you gave me.
(Refrain)

Lord, as I drift on the waters
be the resting place of my restful heart
my life's companion, my friend and refuge
(Refrain)

Refrain:
        Seed, scattered and sown,
        wheat, gathered and grown,
        bread, broken and shared as one,
        the living Bread of God. 
        Vine, fruit of the land,
        wine, work of our hands,
        one cup that is shared by all,
        the living Cup, the living Bread of God.

Is not the bread we break,
a sharing in our Lord? 
Is not the cup we bless,
the blood of Christ outpoured?

The seed which falls on rock
will wither and will die. 
The seed within good ground
will flower and have life

As wheat upon the hills
was gathered and was grown,
so may the church of God
be gathered into one

Communion 2     976 In the Land there is a hungerhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKr-B9K9Ozs

Refrain:
In the Land there is a hunger,
in the land there is a need,
not for the taste of water,
not for the taste of bread.
In the Land there is a hunger,
in the land there is a need,
for the sound of the word of God
upon ev'ry word we feed

Hear, O Lord, my cry.
Day and night I call.
My soul is thirsting
for you my God. (refrain)

Your word, O Lord,
is spirit and life.
You have the words, Lord,
of everlasting life. (refrain)

Only in God
is my soul at rest.
He is my rock and my salvation. (refrain)

731  For the fruits of all creation
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMOaEI0bJmU

For the fruit of all creation, thanks be to God;
for these gifts to every nation, thanks be to God;
for the ploughing, sowing, reaping,
silent growth while we are sleeping,
future needs in earth's safekeeping, thanks be to God.

In the just reward of labour, God's will is done;
In the help we give our neighbour, God's will is done;
In our world-wide task of caring,
for the hungry and despairing,
in the harvests we are sharing, God's will is done.

For the harvests of the Spirit, thanks be to God;
For the good we all inherit, thanks be to God;
For the wonders that astound us,
for the truths that still confound us,
most of all that love has found us, thanks be to God.
