| Entrance | For God so loved the world (mtgf) |
| Penitential Rite | Missa Ubi Caritas (Bob Hurd) |
| Psalm 50 | A pure heart (mtgf) |
| Gospel Acclamation | Lenten (mtgf) |
| Preparation of Gifts | Unless a grain (Bob Hurd) |
| Eucharistic Acclamations | Missa Ubi Caritas (Bob Hurd) |
| Lamb of God | Missa Ubi Caritas (Bob Hurd) |
| Communion | Ave verum Corpus (Byrd) |
| Final | Lift high the Cross |
Lift high the Cross was new to us. I was surprised that none of the other musicians had come across — what sheltered lives they must have lived — it as a strong melody which is easily picked up. And the words were lifted from the Gospel and there was also a sense of moving forward to the end of Lent.
In my experiment with the revised Grail Psalter I gave up with Psalm 50. The setting is melodic but has a flexibility but it could not cope with 2 additional lines in most verses.
