or grief, but life eternal, we pray to you, O Lord. Lord, hear our prayer.
Rejoicing in the fellowship of the ever-blessed Virgin Mary, and all the saints, let us commend ourselves, and one another, and all our life to Christ our God. To you, O Lord our God. Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.

Let us pray.
O God of unchangeable power and eternal light: Look favorably on your whole Church, that wonderful and sacred mystery; by the effectual working of your providence, carry out in tranquillity the plan of salvation; let the whole world see and know that things which were cast down are being raised up, and things which had grown old are being made new, and that all things are being brought to their perfection by him through whom all things were made, your Son Jesus Christ our Lord; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Hymn at the Procession
MUNICH German, 1693
[musical staff notation]
O WORD of God incarnate, O Wisdom from on high, O Truth, unchanged, unchanging, O Light of our dark sky: We praise thee for the radiance That from the hallowed page, A lantern to our footsteps, Shines on from age to age.
2 The Church from her dear Master Received the gift divine, And still that light she lifteth O’er all the earth to shine. It is the golden casket Where gems of truth are stored; It is the heaven-drawn picture Of Christ, the living Word.
3 It floateth like a banner Before God’s host unfurled; It shineth like a beacon Above the darkling world; It is the chart and compass That o’er life’s surging sea, 'Mid mists and rocks and quicksands, Still guides, O Christ, to thee.
The Holy Gospel … John 15:9-17 People: Glory be to thee, O Lord.
The Gospel of the Lord. People: Praise be to thee, O Christ.
