So weary, worn...

1. The kingdom of God is justice and joy;
For Jesus restores what sin would destroy.
God's power and glory in Jesus we know;
And here and hereafter the kingdom shall grow.
2. The kingdom of God is mercy and grace;
The captives are freed, the sinners find place,
The outcast are welcomed God's banquet to share;
And hope is awakened in place of despair.
3. The kingdom of God is...

Refrain:
There is a balm in Gilead
To make the wounded whole,
There is a balm in Gilead
To heal the sin-sick soul.
1. Sometimes I feel discouraged
And think my work's in vain,
But then the Holy Spirit
Revives my soul again.
2. If you cannot preach like Peter,
If you cannot pray like Paul,
You can tell the love of Jesus,
And say, 'He died for all!'

Within the Reign of God. Text and tune by Marty Haugen. (c) 1999, GIA Publications, Inc.
1. Come now, the feast is spread; in Jesus' name we break the bread.
Here shall we all be fed within the reign of God.
Come, take this holy food; receive the body and the blood.
Grace is a mighty flood within the reign of God.
REFRAIN
Blessed are they who will feast in the reign of God.
Blessed are they who will share the bread of life.
Blessed are they who are least in the reign of God;
they shall rejoice at the feast of life.
2. Stand up and do not fear, for Christ is truly present here,
Heaven is truly...

Dead became living,

1. All who hunger, gather gladly; holy manna is our bread.
Come from wilderness and wand'ring. Here, in truth, we will be fed.
You that yearn for days of fullness, all around us is our food.
Taste and see the grace eternal. Taste and see that God is good.
Taste and see the grace eternal. Taste and see that God is good.
2. All who hunger, never strangers, seeker, be a welcome guest.
Come from restlessness and roaming. Here, in joy, we keep the feast. ...

Salmo Responsorial La Santísima Trinidad 2018
Key D
Dichoso el pueblo escogido por Dios (2x)
Sincera la palabra del Señor
y todas sus acciones son leales.
El ama la justicia y el derecho,
la tierra llena esta de sus bondades.
Dichoso el pueblo escogido por Dios.
La palabra del Señor hizo los cielos
y su aliento los astros;
pues el Señor hablo y fue hecho todo;
lo mando con su voz y surgió el orbe.
Dichoso el pueblo escogido por Dios....

Envía Señor Tu Espíritu Y renueva la tierra, Aleluya (2x)
Bendice al Señor, alma mía,

La tierra está llena de tus criaturas

expiran y vuelvan al polvo.

On Eagle's Wings
by Michael Joncas
1. You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord
Who abide in His shadow for life
Say to the Lord
"My refuge, my rock in whom I trust!"
Author: Alexander John
1st Verse:
I try not to judge
But still cry when I love...
Even when it hurts I know GOD cares
For better or worse I try and give you my soul laid bare...
In these words and rhymes
In order for us to change the world it's gotta take time...
Because we are men and women only
I try and use my pen to love and defend not so lonely...
When GOD is with us
Tears become less than dust
With fears we can adjust...
To love and glory
I'm still trying to get my head around the whole story...
But the picture
Is in Biblical literature
And in return our spiritual is richer.

A new collaboration of Anthony Moran and Richard Schletty. Tony's daughter, Tara Moran (a Broadway stage singer), will sing the song soon, replacing my voice in this demo. Please listen to more "Songs of Faith for Liturgies and Devotions" sung by Tara. Please visit www.catholicliturgyinsong.org – or use the insong.org shortcut.
Which arrangement do you like – v5, v6 or v7? Please comment below.
We will be adding a chorus of voices singing the Alleluias.
"Queen of Heaven, Rejoice - Regina Coeli" is recited during the Easter season instead of the "Angelus."
