Entrance Antiphon

 

Cf. Is 66: 10-11

Rejoice, Jerusalem, and all who love her.

Be joyful, all who were in mourning;

exult and be satisfied at her consoling breast.

 

Responsorial Psalm 136(137):1-6

 

O let my tongue cleave to my mouth if I remember you not!

 

By the rivers of Babylon

 there we sat and wept,

 remembering Zion;

on the poplars that grew there

 we hung up our harps.

 

O let my tongue cleave to my mouth if I remember you not!

 

For it was there that they asked us,

 our captors, for songs,

 our oppressors, for joy.

‘Sing to us,’ they said,

 ‘one of Zion’s songs.’

 

O let my tongue cleave to my mouth if I remember you not!

 

O how could we sing

 the song of the Lord

 on alien soil?

If I forget you, Jerusalem,

 let my right hand wither!

 

O let my tongue cleave to my mouth if I remember you not!

 

O let my tongue

 cleave to my mouth

 if I remember you not,

if I prize not Jerusalem

 above all my joys!

 

O let my tongue cleave to my mouth if I remember you not!
