Responsorial: Psalm 4
R: Lord, let your face shine on us.
Preparation Hymn: In the Breaking of the Bread (BB 272)
In the breaking of the bread,
we knew him, Lord Jesus.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Were not our hearts burning as he spoke?
Were not our hearts yearning for the Word of God?
Put your hand here, see the place of nails.
Blessed are those who have not seen, but believe.
Risen is Christ, he who died for us.
Risen is Christ, shepherd who died for his flock.
Sing to the Lord, all you nations, praise.
Great is our God, worthy to be praised.
Taste and see, see and behold God.
Taste and see, see your God and believe.
I am the vine, you, the branches.
Live in me, I in you, and bear much fruit.
Is not the cup, Christ outpoured, our God?
One bread, one cup show our oneness in God.

Communion Hymn: Draw Near (Gather 829)
Draw near, draw near!
Take the body of your Lord.
Draw near, draw near!
Drink the blood for you outpoured.
Draw near and take the body of your Lord,
And drink the holy blood for you outpoured:
Saved by his body and his holy blood,
With souls refreshed we give our thanks to God.
Christ our redeemer, God’s eternal Son,
Has by his cross and blood the victory won:
He gave his life for greatest and for least,
Himself the of’fring and Himself the Priest.
Let us approach with faithful hearts sincere,
And take the pledges of salvation here:
Christ who in this life all the saints defends,
Gives all believers life that never ends.
With heav’nly bread makes those who hunger whole,
Gives living waters to the thirsting soul:
Judge of the nations, to whom all must bow,
In this great feast of love is with us now.

Concluding Hymn: Sing to the Mountains (Gather 452)
Sing to the mountains, sing to the sea.
Raise your voices, lift your hearts.
This is the day the Lord has made.
Let all the earth rejoice.
I will give thanks to you, my Lord.
You have answered my plea.
You have saved my soul from death.
You are my strength and my song.
Holy, holy, holy Lord.
Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
This is the day the Lord has made.
Let us be glad and rejoice.
Death has lost and all is life.
Sing of the glory of God.
