1. Bless the Lord, O my soul, O Lord, my God, you are great indeed!
How manifold are your work, O Lord! The earth is full of your creatures!
2. If you take away their breath, they die and they return to their dust.
When you send forth your Spirit of life, they are created in your sight!
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION: Mass of Remembrance (Haugen)
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
PREPARATION: Song Over the Waters (Haugen)
GOD, YOU HAVE MOVED UPON THE WATERS,
YOU HAVE SUNG IN THE RUSH OF WIND AND FLAME;
AND IN YOUR LOVE, YOU HAVE CALLED US
SONS AND DAUGHTERS,
MAKE US PEOPLE OF THE WATER AND YOUR NAME.
1. Come fill our waiting hearts with the spirit of Jesus,
Let us shine with your light and peace.
2. Give us a thirst for love, give us a hunger for justice,
Make us one with the mind of Christ.
3. You are the breath of life, you are the hope of the hopeless,
Come and fill us with light and peace.
2. Love that sends the rivers dancing, love that waters all that lives,
Love that heals and holds and rouses and forgives;
You are food for all your creatures, You are hunger in the soul,
In your hands the brokenhearted are made whole.
All the creatures you have fashioned, all that live and breathe in you,
Find their hope in your compassion, strong and true;
You, O Spirit of salvation, You alone, beneath, above,
Come, renew your whole creation in your love.
