HYMN
Lenten Hymns:PSALMODY
Antiphon 1: The Lord surrounds his people with his strength.
Those who put their trust in the Lord
are like Mount Zion, that cannot be shaken,
that stands for ever.
Jerusalem! The mountains surround her,
so the Lord surrounds his people
both now and for ever.
For the scepter of the wicked shall not rest
over the land of the just
for fear that the hands of the just
should turn to evil.
Do good, Lord, to those who are good,
to the upright of heart;
but the crooked and those who do evil,
drive them away!
On Israel, peace! Glory...
Antiphon 1 The Lord surrounds his people with his strength.
Antiphon 2 Unless you acquire the heart of a child, you cannot enter the kingdom of God.
O Lord, my heart is not proud
nor haughty my eyes.
I have not gone after things too great
nor marvels beyond me.
Truly I have set my soul
in silence and peace.
A weaned child on its mother's breast,
even so is my soul.
O Israel, hope in the Lord
both now and forever. Glory...
Antiphon 2 Unless you acquire the heart of a child, you cannot enter the kingdom of God.
Antiphon 3 Lord, you have made us a kingdom and priests for God our Father.
Worthy are you, Lord our God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
For you created all things;
by your will they came to be and were created.
Worthy are you, O Lord,
to receive the scroll and to break open its seals.
For you were slain;
with your blood you purchased for God
those from every tribe and tongue,
of every people and nation.
You made them a kingdom
and priests to serve our God,
and they shall reign on earth.
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
to receive power and riches,
wisdom and strength,
honor and glory and blessing. Glory...
Antiphon 3
Lord, you have made us a kingdom and priests for God our Father.
READING
Turn to us, Lord, and have mercy.
Jesus, our Christ, you promised to be with those who pray in your name,
- help us always to pray with you to the Father in the Holy Spirit.
Bridegroom of the Church, cleanse her from every stain,
- teach her to walk in hope and in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Friend of the human race, teach us concern for our neighbor as you have commanded,
- that all may see you more clearly as the light of the world.
King of peace, give your peace to the world,
- that your presence may reveal your saving power in every place.
Open the door of eternal happiness to all the dead,
- welcome them into the glory of unending life.
Our Father...
COLLECT
May your grace not forsake us, O Lord, we pray,
but make us dedicated to your holy service
and at all times obtain for us your help.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
May the Lord bless us, protect us from all evil and bring us to everlasting life. Amen.
