Here proclaim the glorious mystery

Author: Alan Gaunt (b. 1935); St Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225-1274) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Mark 14:12-26 Lyrics: 1 Here proclaim the glorious mystery of the body and the blood; formed within the womb, made human, he the earth's transcendent Lord; offered for the world's redemption, promise of eternal good. 2 On the night of that last supper, there reclining with his friends, met to celebrate Passover, eating as the law demands: he, as food for his disciples, gives himself from his own hands. 3 Word made flesh, by word is making simple bread his flesh, and we here discern Christ's blood, though senses nothing more than wine can see: faith alone, true hearts sustaining, can perceive the mystery. 4 Therefore we, with deepest reverence, celebrate this sacrament; finding all the ancient scriptures sealed in his new covenant; what the senses fail to fathom, faith receives as nourishment. 5 Praise and worship to the Father, power and blessing to the Son, honour to the Holy Spirit, glory to the Three in One; let the Church proclaim for ever what eternal Love has done.

Joseph, your love of life brought an engagement

Author: Patrick George Michaels, 1954- Meter: 11.11.11.5 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Mark 14:22-31 Lyrics: 1 Joseph, your love of life brought an engagement - promise to love and share your life with Mary; thus did great Love come from the love between you: God with us, Jesus. 2 Joseph, you stayed with Mary, strangely pregnant; fears fled when in a dream God's holy angel told you to cherish Wisdom born of Marry, naming him Jesus. 3 Joseph, your son's birth, hidden in a cow-shed, left only you as midwife for the birthing. You helped and guarded Mary as she laboured, bringing us Jesus. 4 Joseph, your anxious caring set you dreaming, dreams full of warning, dreams of death and danger. Trusting your spirit, you were quick and acted, saving your Jesus. 5 Joseph, your loving presence and protection prompted your son to share with his disciples his name for love most freeing, deep and faithful: 'Abba, dear father'. 6 Joseph, your spirit gives us hope and vision when life is crisis, chaos, or destruction: may we, like you, find, growing up among us, Christ's loving presence.
