| Entrance | Longing, trusting (mtgf) |
| Penitential Rite | Kyrie Orbis Factor |
| Psalm 84 | Let us see, O Lord (mtgf) |
| Gospel Acclamation | Salisbury (Christopher Walker) |
| Preparation of Gifts | Rorate Caeli (chant) |
| Eucharistic Acclamations | Creation (Marty Haugen) |
| Lamb of God | Advent (mtgf) |
| Communion | Bread of Life (Bernadette Farrell) |
| Final | Come, thou long expected Jesus |
Being unaccompanied does shape the musical choices. Longing, trusting came back and the congregation seemed to remember it and it sound fine with accompaniment. I was considering a setting of the Benedictus for the end but was less sure that this would be sung with confidence - it may appear next week. Rorate caeli, of course works well unaccompanied as pure melody. Bread of Life sounds effective enough with the refrain in harmony and the verses sung by cantor.
