OF THE HOLY

SPIRIT

COME HOLY GHOST

Louis Lambillotte,

S.J.

Come, Holy Ghost, Creator Blest, and in our hearts Take up thy rest; come with thy grace and heav'nlv Aid to fill the hearts which thou hast made.

o Comforter,

to thee we cry, thou gift of God sent From on high, thou font of life and fire of love, The soul's anointing from above.

Praise be to thee, Father and Son, and Holy Spirit With them one; and may the Son on us bestow the Gifts that from the Spirit flow.

Kyrie / Mass XVII Responsorial Psalm / Psalm 62

Joseph Gelineau

o God, my God, for you my soul is thirsting; for you I long.

GIFT OF FINEST WHEAT

Robert E. Kreutz

YOU SATISFY THE HUNGRY HEART WITH GIFT OF FINEST WHEAT; COME, GIVE TO US, 0 SAVING LORD, THE BREAD OF LIFE TO EAT. As when the shepherd calls his sheep, they know and heed his voice; So when you call your family, Lord, we follow and rejoice.

With joyful lips we sing to you our praise and gratitude, That you should count us worthy, Lord, to share this heavenly food.

Is not the cup we bless and share the blood of Christ outpoured? Do not one cup, one loaf, declare our oneness in the Lord?

The myst'ry of your presence, Lord, no mortal tongue can tell: Whom all the world cannot contain comes in our hearts to dwell.

You give yourself to us, 0 Lord; then selfless let us be, To serve each other in your name in truth and charity.

SEEK NOW YOUR GOD

NOW THANK WE ALL OUR GOD

Carol Melton

Johann Cruger

thank we all our God, with heart and hands and voices, wondrous things has done, in whom his world rejoices; from our mother's arms has blessed us on our way countless gifts of love, and still is ours today.

o

may this bounteous God, through all our life 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.

All praise and thanks to God, the Father now be given, The Son and Spirit blessed who reign in highest heaven; Eternal, Triune God, Whom earth and heav'n adore; For thus it was, is now, and shall be ever more.
