Top Catholic Songs

The recessional hymn reiterates the mission of Christ that we are all invited to participate. It reminds us of the sending forth message Jesus had for his desciples during his Ascension into heaven.

Like St Carlo Acutis, we are always called to spread the messages of faith, hope and love to our world today, be it physical or digital. Here is a new Catholic song for a good recessional moment. The music sheet is available from Music Sheet Plus or Amazon.com


Go in Peace to Love and Serve the Lord
Lyrics by Erwin Cabucos

1
Go in peace to love and serve the Lord                        
So, we set apart yet proclaim our faith
We are sent to bring God's peace to the world
We bear this peace in the name of Christ
He who lived with us, for our sins He died
Rose from death for us He opens heaven's gates

Chorus:          
Let us go in peace to love and serve the Lord
Live out the love to us Christ bestowed
In our hearts we feel this love overflowed
Unleash this love from the pages into life, for the world

2       
Go forth and act as priests of Christ
Respect and pray for all human life
From the womb to the ward they're sanctified
Go forth and act as prophets of the Word
To the mansions, slums and the digital
We proclaim God's salvation by our work (Chorus)

3
Go forth and act as Kings of Christ
Care and protect the poor and oppressed
Go and serve the needy in the community
We received Him through the bread and wine
He who gives us all everlasting life
May we also receive Him through the vulnerable (Chorus)
