Sunday Song Line-Up Suggestions for Easter Sunday

SONG LINE UP SUGGESTIONS (courtesy of bukaspalad)

Apr 24, 2011 (Easter Sunday)

Liturgical color: White; 

In selecting songs for Easter, I do encourage you to choose songs that have the word Alleluia/Aleluya in the lyrics, coz hallelujah is so characteristic of this “solemnity of solemnities.” Hallelujah expresses so much festiveness it should be maximized.

TAGALOG:
Entrance: Magsiawit sa Panginoon (Isidro & Que)

Sequence: Victimae Paschali Laudes (Wipo) You may sing this up to and including May 1, 2011, the 2nd Sunday of Easter.

Today there would be no Profession of the Creed; instead: the Renewal of Baptismal Vows. After the vows, singing is typical.

Renewal of Baptismal vows: Isang Pananampalataya (Santos & Hontiveros)

P of the G:
1. Unang Alay
2. Tinapay ng Buhay for Offertory is justified today.

Acclamation:
1. Sa Krus Mo at Pagkabuhay (Francisco)
2. Si Kristo ay namatay
3. Si Kristo’y namatay (Hontiveros)

Amen: Dakilang Amen (Francisco)

Communion:
1. Pag-ibig Mo, Ama (Macalinao & Hontiveros)
2. Pagsibol (Aquino)
3. Papuri (Arboleda, Salazar & Agatep)
4. Tubig ng Buhay (Valdellon)

Recessional:
1. Humayo’t Ihayag (Francisco, Catalan & Go)
2. E1 if not used as entrance song
3. Ito ang bagong araw (Isidro & Ramirez)
4. E2 if not used as entrance song
5. O Bayan ng Diyos (Aquino)


ENGLISH/LATIN:

Entrance:
1. Let Heaven Rejoice (Dufford) Prioritize stanza 3.
2. Water of Life (Haas)
3. Hallelujah
4. Sing a new song

Sequence: Victimae Paschali Laudes (Wipo) You may sing this up to and including May 1, 2011, the 2nd Sunday of Easter.

Renewal of Baptismal Vows: Vidi Aquam

P of the G: One Bread, One Body (Foley)

Communion: 
1. As Water to the thirsty (Haas)
2. Far Greater Love (Go & Francisco)
3. Here in this Place (Haas)
4. I am the Bread of Life (Toolan)
5. In my heart (Francisco)
6. Without seeing you (Haas). Actually, this is an okay song for the whole of Easter season. However, I do encourage you to reserve it more especially for the Sunday when the Gospel is about doubting Thomas. Maganda toh today, April 24, pero mas maganda ito on the 2nd Sunday of Easter.

Amen: Doxology (Dufford)

Lamb of God/Agnus Dei: Lamb of God litany (Schutte) Refrain, then Stanza 4, then Refrain.

1. I will sing forever (Francisco)
2. E1 if not used as entrance song
3. Life forever more (Ellerton & Francisco)
