1 REMEMBRANCE MASS 11 NOVEMBER 2016 Celebrant: Fr. Sean Molloy (Chaplain & Old Boy) WE WILL REMEMBER THEM

2 Processional Hymn 1. O valiant hearts who to your glory came through dust of conflict and through battle flame; tranquil you lie, your knightly virtue proved, your memory hallowed in the land you loved. 2. Proudly you gathered, rank on rank, to war as who had heard God s message from afar; all you had hoped for, all you had, you gave, to save mankind yourselves you scorned to save. 3. Long years ago, as earth lay dark and still, rose a loud cry upon a lonely hill, while in the frailty of our human clay, Christ, our Redeemer, passed the self - same way. 4. O risen Lord, O Shepherd of our dead, whose cross has bought them and whose staff has led, in glorious hope their proud and sorrowing land commits her children to thy gracious hand. Procession to the war memorial for the laying of wreaths (Those who wish to remain in chapel are welcome to do so)

4 Remembrance Mass 1. Abide with me, fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens, Lord with me abide! When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me. 2. Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; Change and decay is all around I see; O thou who changeth not, abide with me. 3. I need thy presence every passing hour, What but thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like thyself my guide and stay shall be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me. 4. I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where grave thy victory? I triumph still if thou abide with me. Liturgy of the Word 5. Hold thou thy Cross before my closing eyes; shine through the gloom and point me to the skies heaven's morning breaks and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me First Reading: Responsorial Psalm: The response is: Reading from the prophet Isaiah read by the Head Girl and Head Boy The Lord is my Light and my help Gospel Acclamation: The Holy Gospel: Homily (All Sing) (All Say) (All Sing) Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia I give you a new commandment: love one another, just as I have loved you, says the Lord Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia Reading from St Matthew

Hosanna in the highest Priest: All say: Let us proclaim the mystery of faith We proclaim your Death, O Lord, and profess your Resurrection until you come again. Holy Communion Post Communion Hymn: I vow to thee my country I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above, Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love: The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test, That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best; The love that never falters, the love that pays the price, The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice. And there's another country, I've heard of long ago, Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know; We may not count her armies, we may not see her King; Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering; And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase, And her ways are ways of gentleness and all her paths are peace.

8 All sing: Baeda Baeda on this great day, we greet thee on thy throne; and beg thy presence where we meet in this thy home; Thou who didst plant the tiny seed whence sprang the tree: attend us in our present need and hear our plea. Grant that our school like thine may grow strong with the years. Hold thou the torch that we may know when danger nears. We are thy children and our school bears thy great name. We are most proud to learn thy rule and spread thy fame. Under thy banner and thy shield, clad in thy mail; we shall not shrink, we shall not yield, we shall not fail!
