Hymn for the Entrance Procession
Holy God, We Praise Thy Name
Verse 1
Holy God, we praise thy name,
Lord of all, we bow before Thee;
All on earth thy sceptre claim,
All in heav'n above adore Thee;
Infinite thy vast domain,
Everlasting is thy reign.
Infinite thy vast domain,
Everlasting is thy reign.Verse 2
Hark! the loud celestial hymn,
Angel choirs above are raising;
Cherubim and Seraphim,
In unceasing chorus praising,
Fill the heav'ns with sweet accord;
Holy, holy, holy, Lord
Fill the heav'ns with sweet accord;
Holy, holy, holy, LordVerse 3
Holy Father, Holy Son,
Holy Spirit, three we name Thee;
While in essence only one
Undivided God, we claim Thee;
And adoring bend the knee,
While we own the mystery.
And adoring bend the knee,
While we own the mystery.
Responsorial Psalm
Response
The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel.You brought a vine out of Egypt;
to plant it you drove out the nations.
It stretched out its branches to the sea,
to the Great River it stretched out its shoots.Response
The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel.Then why have you broken down its walls?
It is plucked by all who pass by.
It is ravaged by the boar of the forest,
devoured by the beasts of the field.Response
The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel.God of hosts, turn again, we implore,
look down from heaven and see.
Visit this vine and protect it,
the vine your right hand has planted.Response
The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel.And we shall never forsake you again;
give us life that we may call upon your name.
God of hosts, bring us back;
let your face shine on us and we shall be saved.Response
The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel.
