Gospel Acclamation Verses 1. Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth; you have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the kingdom. 2. Come, you whom my Father has blessed, says the Lord; inherit the kingdom prepared for you since the foundation of the world. 3. God loved the world so much, He gave us His only Son, that all who believe in Him might have eternal life. 4. This is the will of my Father, says the Lord, that I should lose nothing of all that He has given to me, and that I should raise it up on the last day. 5. This is the will of my Father, says the Lord, all who believe in the Son will have eternal life and I will raise them to life again on the last day. 6. I am the living bread from heaven, says the Lord; whoever eats this bread will live forever. 7. I am the resurrection and the life, says the Lord; whoever believes in me will live forever. 8. Our true home is in heaven, and Jesus Christ, whose return we long for, will come from heaven to save us. 9. If we die with Christ, we shall live with Him and if we are faithful to the end, we shall reign with Him 10. Jesus Christ is the first born of the dead; glory and kingship be His forever and ever. Amen 11. Happy are those who have died in the Lord; let them rest from their labors for their good deeds go with them.

*When preparing funeral liturgies during Lent, please watch for hymns/songs with an “alleluia” in them. No “alleluias” are permitted during the Lenten season. **Because we have a new hymnal, there are still a few hymns/songs on this list that are new to many people. All of the selections for the Final Commendation are new to the parish in general and we often use Song of Farewell, with the words in the Missalette. It is all right to have a solo at Preparation of Gifts and for the Communion Meditation.
