Holy, Holy, Holy Lord (Cullinan)

Holy

ho­ly

ho­ly Lord

God in Heav’n—on earth ad­ored;

Holy Fa­ther

Ho­ly Son

Holy Spir­it

with Them One.

Lord

Cre­at­or of all things

God of pro­phets

priests and kings:

When th’ap­point­ed time had come

You sent us Your on­ly Son.

Send up­on our gifts this day

Blessings from Your throne

we pray.

May Your Spir­it be out­poured

At this en­trance of the Lord.

Let this bread and wine be­come

Flesh and Blood of Your dear Son

That we may unit­ed be

With our Lord eter­nal­ly.

On the night He was be­trayed

As the ev­en­ing sun did fade

Our Lord Je­sus Christ took bread

Giving thanks

blessed it and said:

This

My bo­dy

is for you

And My blood—the cov’nant new.

Eat and drink this sac­ra­ment;

My gift is your nour­ish­ment.

Jesus Christ

in­car­nate One

Son of God and Ma­ry’s son

We re­call Your hum­ble birth:

King of Heav’n and Lord of earth!

We re­call Your pain and grief

Endless ang­uish

no re­lief

When up­on that tree You died

For the Church

Your chos­en Bride.

But no grave

the Lord

could hold;

Hence the stone away was rolled

When the re­sur­rect­ed Lord

Rose so that He might award

Victory ov­er death and grave

To those whom He came to save.

Now in heav­en He shall reign

’Til we see Him come again.

Send to us Your Spir­it

Lord;

By His pre­sence be out­poured

Grace on grace and love on love—

Every bless­ing from ab­ove.

Bless Your Church on earth; pre­serve

All her lead­ers as they serve.

Be with all for whom we pray

As we in­ter­cede this day.

Our hearts

long­ing from with­in

Ache for free­dom from our sin.

In Your mer­cy

hear our cry

To be with Your saints on high.

God our Fa­ther and the Son

And the Spir­it

with Them One:

You we hon­or and ad­ore

With our prais­es ev­er­more.
