St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic Community Celebrates The Fourth Sunday of Easter April 24 & 25, 2021
1 THIS IS THE DAY(Fisher, OCP) Breaking Bread #571 R.\ This is the day, this is the day, this is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice, let us rejoice, let us rejoice and be glad!
This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad! R.\
Give thanks to the Lord! Our God is good. Whose love endures forever. Let all the children of Israel say: “God’s love endures forever!” R.\
Alleluia! Alleluia! Hearts to heav’n and voices raise. Sing to God a hymn of gladness, sing to God a hymn of praise. He Who on the cross as Savior for the world’s salvation bled, Jesus Christ, the King of Glory, now is risen from the dead.
Now the iron bars are broken, Christ from death to life is born, glorious life, and life immortal, on this resurrection morn; Christ is triumphed, and we conquer by His mighty enterprise, we with Him to life eternal by His resurrection rise.
4. IN CHRIST ALONE(Getty & Townsend, CCLI) Breaking Bread #412
In Christ alone my hope is found, He is my light, my strength, my song; this Cornerstone, this solid ground, firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What height of love, what depths of peace, when fears are stilled, when strivings cease. My Comforter, my All in All, here in the love of Christ I stand.
In Christ alone, Who took on flesh, fullness of God in helpless babe! This gift of love and righteousness, scorned by the ones He came to save. Till on that Cross as Jesus died, the wrath of God was satisfied. For ev’ry sin on Him was laid; Here in the death of Christ I live.
There in the ground His body lay, Light of the world by darkness slain; then, bursting forth in glorious Day, up from the grave He rose again! And as He stands in victory, sin’s curse has lost its grip on me; for I am His and He is mine, bought with the precious blood of Christ.
Let Your people rejoice; You are risen from death. Now we are Your voice,
Your hands and Your breath. Not for You the tomb, not for You death’s decay, risen Lord. We are You, we are Yours, Yours today.
You shall be My hands, you shall be My feet. You must feed my lambs,
pasture My sheep. You are light to the world, form to the clay, and you must be rising with Me, dying and rising with Me. You are My flesh and blood today. (Repeat both verses at the same time) Rory Cooney, Copyright @ 1984 by OCP. All Rights Reserved. Used with permission OneLicense.net #A-706000
7. LIKE A SHEPHERD (Dufford SJ, OCP)Breaking Bread #606 R.\ Like a shepherd He feeds His flock and gathers the lambs in His arms. Holding them carefully, close to His heart, leading them home.
Say to the cities of Judah: Prepare the way of the Lord. Go to the mountaintop, lift your voice: Jerusalem, here is your God. R.\
I myself will shepherd them, for others have led them astray. The lost I will rescue and heal their wounds and pasture them, giving them rest. R.\
Come unto Me if you are heavily burdened, and take my yoke upon your shoulders. I will give you rest. R.\
9. HOW CAN I KEEP FROM SINGING(PD)Breaking Bread #442
My life flows on in endless song above earth’s lamentation.
I hear the real though far-off hymn that hails a new creation. R.\ No storm can shake my inmost calm, while to that rock I’m clinging. Since love is Lord of heaven and earth. How can I keep from singing?
Through all the tumult and the strife, I hear that music ringing;
it sounds and echoes in my soul; how can I keep from singing? R.\ 3. What though the tempest round me roar, I hear the truth – it liveth. What though the darkness ‘round me close, songs in the night it giveth. R.\
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SINGING AND YOUR PARTICIPATION!!!
