Gathering Song: 884 For All the Saints

For all the saints, who from their labors rest, All who by faith before the world confessed, Your name, O Jesus, be forever blest. Alleluia! Alleluia! You were their rock, their fortress and their might; You, Lord, their Captain in the well-fought fight; You, in the darkness drear, their one true light. Alleluia! Allleluia!

Gloria: (Recite) Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of good will. We praise you, we bless you, we adore you, we glorify you, we give you thanks for your great glory, Lord God, heavenly King, O God, almighty Father. Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son, Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, You take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us; You take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer; You are seated at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us. For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen.

Resp. Psalm: Psalm 24 Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.

Second Reading: 1 John 3:1-3

Gospel Acclamation: Alleluia

Gospel: Matthew 5:1-12a 4

Profession of Faith: Apostles’ Creed (Recite) I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, (bow) who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascend-ed into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the for-giveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Preparation of Gifts: 539 Sing with All the Saints in Glory Sing with all the saints in glory, Sing the resurrection song! Death and sorrow, earth’s dark story, To the for-mer days belong. All around the clouds are breaking, Soon the storms of time shall cease; In God’s likeness we awaken, Knowing everlasting peace. O what glory, far exceeding All that eye has yet perceived! Holiest hearts, for ages pleading, Never that full joy conceived. God has promised, Christ prepares it, There on high our welcome waits, Ev’ry humble spirit shares it; Christ has passed the eternal gates.
