Psalm 118 - His Love Is Everlasting
Give thanks to the Lord
for He is good,
His love is everlasting,
His love is everlasting.

Presentation - With the Lord
With the Lord there is mercy,
and fullness of redemption.
With the Lord there is mercy,
and fullness of redemption.
Out of the depths I cry;
O Lord, hear my voice.
Hear my pleading voice.
I cry to You,
I plead with You, O God.
With the Lord there is mercy,
and fullness of redemption.
With the Lord there is mercy,
and fullness of redemption.
I place all my trust in You;
my hope is in Your word.
My soul longs for You.
My spirit longs
to be with You, O God.
With the Lord there is mercy,
and fullness of redemption.
With the Lord there is mercy,
and fullness of redemption.

My Jesus,
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.
Communion - O Come to the Altar
Are you hurting and broken within?
Overwhelmed by the weight of your sin?
Jesus is calling.
Have you come to the end of yourself?
Do you thirst for a drink from the well?
Jesus is calling.
O come to the altar,
the Father’s arms are open wide.
Forgiveness was bought with
the precious Blood of Jesus Christ.
Leave behind your regrets and mistakes.
Come today, there’s no reason to wait.
Jesus is calling.
Bring your sorrows and trade them for joy.
From the ashes, a new life is born.
Jesus is calling.
O come to the altar,
the Father’s arms are open wide.
Forgiveness was bought with
the precious Blood of Jesus Christ.
Oh, what a Savior, isn’t He wonderful.
Sing alleluia, Christ is risen.
Bow down before Him, for He is Lord of all.
Sing alleluia, Christ is risen.
O come to the altar,
the Father’s arms are open wide.
Forgiveness was bought with
the precious Blood of Jesus Christ.
Bear your cross as you wait for the crown.
Tell the world of the treasure you’ve found.

Sending - Alleluia! Alleluia! Let the Holy Anthem Rise
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Let the holy anthem rise,
And the choirs of heaven chant it
In the temple of the skies;
Let the mountains skip with gladness,
And the joyful valleys ring
With hosannas in the highest
To our Savior and our King!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Like the sun from out the wave,
He has risen up in triumph
From the darkness of the grave.
He’s the splendor of the nations,
He’s the lamp of endless day;
He’s the very Lord of glory
Who is risen up today!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Blessed Jesus, make us rise
From the life of this corruption
To the life that never dies.
May your glory be our portion,
When the days of time are past,
And the dead shall be awakened
By the trumpet’s mighty blast!

LA SALETTE HYMNS
Ave of La Salette
1. A beautiful Lady appeared in such light,
That two little shepherds were awed by the sight.
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
Ave, Ave Maria
2. “Come near, little children, do not be afraid.
I bring you such good news,” she lovingly said.
3. “To all of my people God’s mercy I speak,
If they in their own hearts, God’s pardon will seek.”
4. “Pray well, then, my children, at morn and at night.
And open your hearts to be changed in God’s sight.”
5. “My people must honor My Son and His Name.
Each week as they gather, His glory they claim.”
6. “O take, then, this message and go make it known
To all of my people that God’s love be shown.”
Lyrics © 1989, Ronald Gagne, M.S.
Hail, Tearful Queen of La Salette
1. Hail, tearful Queen of La Salette, O Maria!
Hail, Woman whom the children met, O Maria!
Pray with us to your loving Son,
That God’s will on this earth be done,
Hear our voices raised as one:
Salve, Salve, Salve Regina!
2. O Reconciler, we draw near, O Maria!
To hear your message “Do not fear,” O Maria!
3. Your words of love are mixed with pain, O Maria!
You call us to your Son again, O Maria!
4. Now change our hearts, O Virgin mild, O Maria!
Make us the image of your Child, O Maria!
5. As part of God’s own chosen race, O Maria!
Our saving hope is in God’s grace, O Maria!
6. Teach us to share your words of life, O Maria!
With all who live in sin or strife, O Maria!
7. As pilgrims on our way we go, O Maria!
That your great message all will know, O Maria!
Lyrics © 1989, Ronald Gagne, M.S.
Mary, Mother of the Lord
Mary Mother of the Lord,
Hear the pray’r we sing to you.
Let your tears seep in our minds and hearts
As once they fell at La Salette.
1. Tell your people how to live again,
Tell your people how to sing again.
Tell your people how to dance again,
Tell your people how to pray again.
2. Teach your people how to love Him,
Teach your people how to serve Him.
Teach your people how to find Him,
Teach your people how to follow Him.
3. Send your people to a Mission Land,
Send your people to a desert land.
Send your people to refresh the land,
Send your people with the Word in hand.
Music & Lyrics © 1983, André A. Patenaude, M.S.
O Mary, Queen of La Salette
1. O Mary, Queen of La Salette,
draw close my heart to thee.
That near to God forevermore
I may thy beauty see.
I long to dry thy tears,
to make thy message known,
of penance, pray’r and zeal,
until God calls me home.
2. O tearful Virgin of the Alps,
why are you weeping so?
I would that I had never sinned
and made those tears to flow.
3. O weeping Mother, say to me:
“My little child come near.”
Then lead me safely by the hand
through all temptations here.
Lyrics © 1963, Missionaries of Our Lady of La Salette Corp., Ipswich, MA.
O Mary, Queen of La Salette
1. At La Salette Our Lady came
To leave a message of love:
To pray, to do penance and to live
The Gospel of her Son.
O Mary, Queen of La Salette
Your tears fall down on us.
May we return with grateful hearts
To your Son, Jesus Christ, the Lord.
2. As Queen of heaven and of earth
She wears a diadem
And a heavy chain around her neck
With the One Who died for us.
3. O well, my children, pray you must
In the morning and at night
In the Name of the Father and the Son
And the Spirit Who dwell on high.
4. You will make this message known to all,
O make this message known
To all my people who have lost
Their faith in the Risen Lord.
Lyrics © 1984, André A. Patenaude, M.S.
Sing of Mary, Reconciler
1. Sing of Mary, Reconciler,
Radiant Queen of La Salette.
Take your place as heav’nly Mother,
Interceding for us yet.
Grant that we may find forgiveness
In the heart of Christ, your Son.
Free our hearts from sin and sadness;
May His Spirit make us one.
2. Gentle Light, O Weeping Mother,
You invite us, “Now, draw near.”
We’ve forgotten Christ, our Brother,
But you bid us “Do not fear.
If you are converted, children,
Famine will be at an end.
Pray each day in morn and ev’ning,
Let your prayers with mine ascend.”
3. From that Holy Mountain, sounding,
Came the universal call:
“Well, my children,” you were pleading,
“Make this message known to all.”
Change our hearts and fill our being
With the hope of Christ above.
May we never tire of living
Lives of reconciling love.
Lyrics © 1989, Ronald Gagne, M.S.
The Weeping Mother, Our Lady of La Salette
1. In tears Our Lady showed herself
That day at La Salette
And begged that mortals make amends
With penance and regret.
2. She spoke to him, a shepherd boy,
And her, a shepherdess,
To spread her word to all the world
For hope and happiness.
3. She warned of famine and of death
And even greater pain
For those who disrespect her Son
And use His Name in vain.
4. Dear Weeping Mother, let us pray
To your beloved Son
And ask His great forgiveness for
The wrongs that we have done.
5. Help us to follow in His path
And never once forget
The kindly warning that you spoke
In tears at La Salette.
Lyrics © 1953, James J. Metcalfe
