ENTRANCE HYMN:
LET US GO TO THE ALTAR
REFRAIN: Let us go to the altar of God, the
God of our gladness and joy. Let us enter the
courts of the house of the Lord and sing to the
glory of God.
1. Give praise with blast of trumpet, with noble
sound of the horn. With the clash of the
clanging cymbals, give glory to the Lord!
2. Give praise with lyre and timbrel, with lute and
sound of the harp. With the dance of the flute
and oboe, give glory to the Lord!
3. Give praise with pipe and organ, with rousing
beat of the drum, with the call of the bell and
bagpipe, give glory to the Lord!
4. Give praise, all creatures of heaven, and all that
dwell on the earth. Come to worship the God
who made us, and dance before the Lord.

HOMILY
RITE OF MARRIAGE
GOD IS LOVE
REFRAIN: God is love, and all who live in love
abide in God and God abides in them. (2x)
1. The love of Christ has gathered us as one: In
him let us rejoice: in him let us be glad. Let us
revere and love the living God. With heart and
mind and soul now let us love sincerely.
2. Therefore, as now we gather into one, let
discord find no place, nor hatred rule our
hearts. Let evil deeds and bitter words now
cease, that Christ stay in our midst and dwell
with us forever.
3. Then with the saints let us behold you face, a
light with glory, Christ, our brother and our
God. And may this joy, unbounded and
immense, fulfill our hearts’ desire through ages
without ending.
OFFERTORY HYMN:
THESE ALONE ARE ENOUGH (Dan Schutte)
1. Take my heart, O Lord, take my hopes and
dreams. Take my mind with all its plans and
schemes. Give me nothing more than your love
and grace. These alone, O God are enough for
me.
2. Take my thoughts, O Lord, and my memory.
Take my tears, my joys, my liberty. Give me
nothing more than your love and grace. These
alone, O God are enough for me.
3. I surrender, Lord, all I have and hold. I return to
you your gifts untold. Give me nothing more
 than your love and grace. These alone, O God
are enough for me.
4. When the darkness falls on my final days, take
the very breath that sang your praise. Give me
nothing more than your love and grace. These
alone, O God are enough for me.
EUCHARISTIC ACCLAMATIONS

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts. Heaven and
earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest.

Blessed, blessed is he who comes in the name of
the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. Hosanna,
hosanna, hosanna in the highest.
MYSTERY OF FAITH

COMMUNION RITE
Our Father
*For the kingdom – not to be sung.
LAMB OF GOD
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world,
have mercy on us. (2x)
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world,
grant us peace.
COMMUNION HYMNS:
LOVE NEVER FAILS (David Haas)
1. If I speak with the tongues of the earth, if the
angels fill my mouth, yet do not have love, I am
but a sound. If I prophesy and understand all
things, if mountains shake by my faith, without
love I am nothing at all.
REFRAIN: Love is patient, love is kind, love
rejoices in the truth. It bears all things,
believes all things, it hopes all things, endures
all things. Love never fails.
2. If I give away everything I own, give my body to
be burned, yet do not have love, I gain nothing
more. Prophecies will cease, tongues will be
silent, knowledge will be no more, the partial
will pass away.
3. When I was a child, I talked, thought and lived
as a child. But now that I have grown, I have

put these things aside. My knowledge is
imperfect now, then I know as I am known: that
faith, hope and love remain, but the greatest of
these is love.
NOW IS THE TIME (Ricky Manalo)
REFRAIN: Now is the time, here in this space,
we come to share a meal from ancient days.
Gathered now in Christ, gathered here as one,
we taste the banquet yet to come.
1. From age to age a people gathered in your
name, a story now remembered. So the spirit
you have sent embraces from our past a
promise that will last.
2. Now in the blessing and the breaking of the
bread your presence dwells among us. In the
sharing of this meal, the love that you impart
now dwells within our hearts.
3. And in the blessing and the drinking of the
wine, we come to learn our story. In the
richness of our lives, the blood of Christ
outpoured, unites us with our Lord.
4. There is a myst’ry of the path that lies ahead,
a journey seemed unfathomed. May the
myst’ry we behold, become the light we bear
for all the world to share.
FINAL HYMN:
TELL THE WORLD OF HIS LOVE
(Trina Belamide)
1. For God so loved the world, He gave us His
Only Son, Jesus Christ our Savior, His most
precious One.
2. He has sent us His message of love, and
sends those who hear to bring the message to
everyone in a voice loud and clear.
3. Let us tell the world of His love, the greatest
love the world has known. Search the world for
those who have walked astray and lead them
home. Fill the world’s darkest corners with His
light from up above. Walk every step, every
mile, every road and tell the world, tell the
world of His love.
4. FINALE: Tell the world of His love.
