Mass for World Communion by Todd Jolly

We gather to learn how to follow Jesus

We gather to practice the love of Christ

We gather to pray for the poor and the hungry

We gather to usher in God's day of peace

Kyrie

Wellspring of Life have mercy on us

Bread of Heaven have mercy on us

Wellspring of Life have mercy on us

Gloria

Glory to God in the highest!  And peace to all

We praise you, we bless you, we worship you, we glorify you,

We give thanks to you for your great glory

Glory to God in the highest!  And peace to all

Heavenly Ruler, Creator of all, Holy Redeemer, Jesus the Christ

 Lamb of God, Child of God

Glory to God in the highest!  And peace to all

You who take away the sin of the world, have mercy on us

You who take away the sin of the world, hear our prayer

You who sit at the right hand of God, have mercy on us

Glory to God in the highest!  And peace to all

For you are holy, Blessed Redeemer

For you are holy, Hallowed Sustainer

For you are holy, Sacred Creator

To the Holy Trinity we sing glory!  Glory!

Glory to God in the highest!  And peace to all

Alleluia

Holy Spirit open our hearts to the Love of God

Holy Spirit open our souls to the Will of God

Holy Spirit open our minds to the Word of God

Alleluia.  Thank you for bringing your Word of Grace

Alleluia.  Thank you for bringing your Word of Truth

Alleluia.  Thank you for bringing your Word of Peace

Credo (John Muir)

No synonym for God is so perfect as Beauty

Whether as seen carving the lines of the mountains with glaciers

Or gathering matter into stars

Or planning the movements of water

Or gardening

Still all is Beauty

Offertory (instrumental)

Sanctus

Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest

Holy, holy, holy God of power and majesty

Heaven and earth are full of your glory

Blessed is the One who comes in the name of God

Memorial Acclamation

The mystery of faith:  

Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again

Amen Amen

Agnus Dei

Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world

 Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world

Prince of Peace, you take away the sin of the world

Lamb of God, grant us peace

Communion Song (instrumental)

Benediction Response (Isaiah 41:10)

Do not fear, do not fear, for I'm always with you

 For I am your God:  I will strengthen and help you

My right hand upholding you now and forever

Do not be afraid:  I am your God

Do not fear

Postlude (instrumental)
