COMMUNION John 4:13–14

Qui biberit aquam, quam ego dabo ei, dicit Dominus, fiet in eo fons aquæ salientis in vitam æternam.

For anyone who drinks it, says the Lord, the water I shall give will become in him a spring welling up to eternal life.

CHOIR Leo Nestor (b. 1948)

What wondrous love is this O my soul! What wondrous love is this that caused the Lord of bliss To bear the dreadful curse for my soul.

When I was sinking down, sinking down. When I was sinking down beneath God’s righteous frown, Christ laid aside his crown for my soul.

To God and to the Lamb I will sing. To God and to the Lamb who is the great I AM, While millions join the theme, I will sing.

And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on. And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing and joyful be, And through eternity I’ll sing on.
