Music for
The Ascension of the Lord

Dear Fellow Parishioners,

Happy Ascension Sunday! This week’s readings tell us about Jesus going up into heaven to sit at the right hand of God after telling the disciples to go out and proclaim the Gospel to the whole world. The only song for Mass that’s truly new is our opening hymn, ‘The Risen Christ’ https://youtu.be/h5LYpJEcyso. We’ll be singing just the first and third verses, so if you listen to the link you’ll notice something missing. I’ve provided the words to those verses and all the other songs in this attachment.

I’ve included some old (some very old) songs and some new in my songs to share this week. I hope you enjoy them!
