Liturgy of the Word FIRST READING Job 19:1,23-27 Ted White PSALM 23 Don Whelan PSALM RESPONSE The Lord is my shep-herd; there is no-thing I shall want. The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want. Fresh and green are the pastures where he gives me repose. Near restful waters he leads me, to revive my drooping spirit. He guides me along the right path; he is true to his name. If I should walk in the valley of darkness no evil would I fear. You are there with your crook and your staff; with these you give me comfort. You have prepared a banquet for me in the sight of my foes. My head you have anointed with oil; my cup is overflowing. Surely goodness and kindness shall follow me all the days of my life. In the Lord s own house shall I dwell for ever and ever.

(My Father, into your hands I commend my spirit) THANKSGIVING HYMN Praise to the Holiest in the height, and in the depth be praise; In all His words most wonderful, most sure in all His ways. O loving wisdom of our God! when all was sin and shame, a second Adam to the fight and to the rescue came. O wisest love! that flesh and blood, which did in Adam fail, should strive afresh against the foe, should strive and should prevail. And that a higher gift than grace should flesh and blood refine, God s presence and his very self, and essence all divine. And in the garden secretly, and on the cross on high, should teach his brethren, and inspire to suffer and to die. Praise to the holiest in the height, and in the depth be praise; in all his words most wonderful, most sure in all His ways.
