Refrain Alleluia, alleluia. Alleluia, alleluia. 1. Speak, Lord, your servant is list’ning. Speak your words of wisdom, for the words you speak are everlasting life. 2. The Word of the Lord lasts forever. What is the word that is living? It is brought to us through God’s son: Jesus Christ. 3. “Father, of all you are blessed, creator of earth and heaven, for the mysteries of the kingdom shown to children.” 4. “I call you friends,” says the Lord, “you who are my disciples. I make known to you all I’ve learned from my Father.” 5. “The sheep of my flock,” says the Lord, “hearing my voice, will listen. They will follow me, for I know them; they are mine.” 6. The Word of the Lord is alive. The Word of the Lord is active. It can judge our thoughts, bring us closer to the Father. 7. “Even if you have to die, close to my Word keep faithful: for your faithfulness I will give you the crown of life.” Alternate Verses Te Deum 1. Father we praise you as Lord, all of the earth gives you worship, for your majesty fills the heavens, fills the earth. 2. Blessed apostles sing praise; prophets and martyrs give glory: “For your majesty praise the Spirit, praise the Son!” 3. You are the Christ everlasting, born for us all of a Virgin, you have conquered death, opened heaven to all believers. 4. Help those you saved by your blood, raise them to life with your martyrs. Save your people, Lord, as their ruler raise them up. Feasts of Mary Hail: full of grace, Mary, most blessed among women; who believe that it would be as God promised. Advent Stay awake, pray at all times, praying that you may be strengthened, that with confidence you can meet the Son of Man. Christmas Day “I bring you news of great joy, joy for all nations, for today is born our savior, Christ the Lord.” Holy Family The Word of God became flesh and came to dwell among us. All accepting him will become children of God. Epiphany A holy day has dawned. Adore the Lord, you nations, for today a light has come on the earth. Easter 1. Give thanks to the Lord, who is good. The love of the Lord knows no ending. All in Israel say, “God’s love has no end.” 2. The Right Hand of God raised me up. The hand of the Lord has triumphed. I shall never die, I shall live, telling God’s deeds. 3. The stone which the builders rejected, becomes the cornerstone chosen. Praise the work of God for the marvel in our eyes. Pentecost Come, Holy Spirit. Fill the hearts of your faithful and enlighten them with the fire of your love. Wedding 1. If we love one another, if we love one another, God will live in us, and that love will be strong. 2. All those who live in love with God are united, for they live with God and God lives in them. 3. Dear friends, God is love. So let us love one another. Being one with God, as God loves us, let us love.
