The Celebration of the Eucharist: Music

Introductory Rites

O Spirit All-Embracing

1. O Spirit all-embracing and counselor all-wise,
   Unbounded splendor gracing a shoreless sea of skies:
   Unfailing is your treasure, unfading your reward;
   Surpassing worldly pleasure, the riches you afford.
   Come, stream of endless flowing, and rescue us from death;
   Come, wind of springtime blowing, and warm us by your breath.
   
   
2. O Beauty ever blazing in flower, field, and face,
   You show yourself amazing in unexpected place
   We see you and remember what once our dreams had been;
   You fan the glowing ember and kindle hope within.
   Come, fire of glory gracious, bless all who trust in you;
   Undying flame tenacious, burn in your Church anew.
   
   
3. Come, passion’s power holy, your insight here impart,
   And give your servants lowly an understanding heart
   To know your care more clearly when faith and love are tried,
   To seek you more sincerely when false ideals have died:
   For vision we implore you, for wisdom’s pure delight;
   In prayer we come before you to wait upon your light.

Pan de Vida

Refrain

Pan de Vida, cuerpo del Señor,¹
cup of blessing, blood of Christ the Lord.
At this table the last shall be first,
poder es servir, porque Dios es amor.²

Verses

1. We are the dwelling of God,
   fragile and wounded and weak.
   We are the body of Christ,
   called to be the compassion of God.
   
   (To Refrain)
   
   
2. Ustedes me llaman “Señor”,
   Me incline a lavarles los pies.
   Hagan lo mismo, humildes, sirviéndose unos a otros.³
   
   (To Refrain)
   
   
3. There is no Jew or Greek,
   there is no slave or free;
   there is no woman or man;
   only heirs of the promise of God.

English Translation

1. Bread of Life, body of the Lord
2. power is for service, because God is Love.
3. You call me “Lord,” and I bow to wash your feet:
   you must do the same, humbly serving each other.
