Lamb of God

Memorial Acclamation

Amen - during Advent, following the doxology at the end of the Eucharistic Prayer, we will sing

the traditional (plainchant) ‘Amen’, unaccompanied.

Bless - ed is he who comes in the name of the

Lord. Ho - san - na in the high - est.

When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup, we pro -

claim your Death, O Lord un - til you come a-gain.

Lamb of God, you take a - way the sins of the world, have

mer - cy on us, have mer - cy on us. Lamb of...

Lamb of God, you take a - way the sins of the world,

grant us peace, grant us peace.

He comes to us as one unknown, a breath unseen, unheard:

as though within a heart of stone, or shrivelled seed in darkness sown, a pulse of being stirred, a pulse of being stirred.

He comes when souls in silence lie and thoughts of day depart; half-seen upon the inward eye, a falling star across the sky

of night within the heart, of night within the heart.

He comes to us in sound of seas, the ocean’s fume and foam; yet small and still upon the breeze, a wind that stirs the tops of trees,

a voice to call us home, a voice to call us home.

He comes in love as once he came by flesh and blood and birth; to bear within our mortal frame a life, a death, a saving name,

for every child of earth, for every child of earth.

He comes in truth when faith is grown; believed, obeyed, adored: the Christ in all the scriptures shown, as yet unseen, but not unknown,

our Saviour and our Lord, our Saviour and our Lord. Timothy Dudley-Smith

Hail to the Lord's anointed! Great David's greater son! Hail, in the time appointed, his reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, to set the captive free;

to take away transgression, and rule in equity.

He shall come down like showers upon the fruitful earth,

and love, joy, hope, like flowers, spring in his path to birth: before him on the mountains shall peace the herald go; and righteousness in fountains from hill to valley flow.

Kings shall fall down before him, and gold and incense bring;

all nations shall adore him, his praise all people sing; to him shall prayer unceasing and daily vows ascend;

his kingdom still increasing a kingdom without end. James Montgomery (1771-1854)

Wait for the Lord, whose day is near, wait for the Lord, keep watch, take heart.
