Gospel Response

Presentation of the Gifts Choral Motet: Processional to Calvary (J. Stainer, 1840-1901) Fling wide the gates, for the Savior waits

To tread in his royal way!

He has come from above, in his power and love,

To die on this Passion day.

His cross is the sign of a love divine,

His crown is the thorn wreath of woe,

He bears his load on the sorrowful road

And bends ‘neath the burden low.

Holy

Mystery of Faith

Amen

Lamb of God
