The Ascension of the Lord

Psalm text (Ps 46:2-3,6-9)

God mounts his throne to shouts of joy: a blare of trumpets for the Lord.

All peoples, clap your hands,
cry to God with shouts of joy!
For the Lord, the Most High, we must fear,
great king over all the earth.

God goes up with shouts of joy;
the Lord goes up with trumpet blast.
Sing praise for God, sing praise,
sing praise to our king, sing praise.

God is king of all the earth.
Sing praise with all your skill.
God is king over the nations;
God reigns on his holy throne.

Gospel Verse

Go, make disciples of all the nations; I am with you always, yes, to the end of time.

Psalm text (Ps 103:1-2, 11-12, 19-20)

The Lord has set His throne in heaven.

Bless the Lord, O my soul;
and all my being, bless His holy name.
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all His benefits.

For as the heavens are high above the earth,
so surpassing is His kindness toward those who fear Him.
As far as the east is from the west,
so far has He put our transgressions from us.

The Lord has established His throne in heaven,
and His kngdom rules over all.
Bless the Lord, all you His angels,
you mighty in strength, who do His bidding.

Gospel Verse (cf Jn 14:18)

I will not leave you orphans, says the Lord. I will come back to you, and your hearts will rejoice.
