Entrance Hymn Alleluia! Sing to Jesus, His the sceptre, his the throne Alleluia! His the triumph, His the victory alone Hark! The songs of peaceful Zion thunder like a mighty flood Jesus out of every nation hath redeemed us by his blood. Alleluia! Not as orphans are we left in sorrow now Alleluia! He is near us, faith believes nor questions how Though the cloud from sight received him when the forty days were o'er Shall our hearts forget his promise, I am with you evermore? Alleluia! Bread of heaven, here on earth our food and stay Alleluia! Here the sinful flee to thee from day to day Thou within the veil hast entered, robed in flesh, our great High Priest Thou on earth both Priest and Victim in the Eucharistic Feast.

Communion Hymn Soul of my Saviour, sanctify my breast Body of Christ, be thou my saving guest Blood of my Saviour, bathe me in thy tide Wash me with water flowing from they side. Strength and protection may they Passion be O Blessed Jesus hear and answer me Deep in thy wounds Lord, hide and shelter me So shall I never, never part from thee. Guard and defend me from the foe malign In death’s dread moments make me only thine Call me and bid me come to thee on high When I may praise thee with thy saints for aye.

Recessional Hymn Now thank we all our God With hearts and hands and voices Who wondrous things hath done In whom this world rejoices. Who from our mother’s arms Hath blessed us on our way With countless gifts of love And still is ours today O may this bounteous God Through all our lives be near us With ever joyful hearts And blessed peace to cheer us. And keep us in his grace And guide us when perplexed And free us from all ills In this world and the next.
