Communion Hymns:

As during Lent, most of the Communion Antiphons on the Sundays of Easter are drawn from the corresponding Gospel readings, and like the Entrance antiphons, each ends with an Alleluia.

For Ascension Thursday/Sunday

However exalted Sundays are, save something for the next pinnacle after the Second Sunday of Easter: the Ascension. If it’s on Thursday, you won’t have your festive sprinkling song that you may have been using on Sundays, so you may want to look at how you can keep your entrance rite special without it. Your music can say, “This is a special solemnity, but it’s also another stage of Easter” – the more subliminally, the better. For example, if you’ve been singing “Christ the Lord is Ris’n Today” to LLANFAIR, you might now sing “Hail the Day that Sees Him Rise” (by the same poet) to the same tune. There’s also a more recent Ascension Hymn to that tune, “Let the Earth Rejoice and Sing”. Fortunately, many hymns for Christ the King are appropriate for Ascension as well.

Pentecost Sunday

The Music for the last day of the Easter should be especially festive, and the use of several languages to echo the coming together of many peoples and nations is very appropriate.

When choosing an opening song, use the text of the Entrance antiphon as a a guide: “The Spirit of the Lord fills the whole world … and knows every word spoken by man.”

When it comes to Pentecost, we echoe the Easter Octave by singing a sequence and the double Alleluia at the dismissal. Be on the look out for other ways of marking the time. Psalm 104 was the first psalm for the Easter Vigil, following the story of creation. It returns on this last da of Easter, but notice that different verse are chosen to give more emphasis to the Holy Spirit. For example, the very first psalm we sang in Eastertime was probably the “Lord, send out Your Spirit” option that followed the creation story at the Easter Vigil. Now it reappears as our last responsorial psalm for Easter, on Pentecost. Again don’t let the Sequence fall flat through a laudable aim to use the traditional tune. The Taize “Veni Sancte Spiritus” can be allowed to build wonderfully and provides text options for multi-lingual assemblies.

In choosing music for the communion procession, consult the communion antiphon:

Good choices include:
