LYRICS

Chorus

In the house of God,
The house of our Father,
We have gathered for the Holy Sacrifice
Where Christ is the Priest and Victim.

Verse 1

Calvary is here,
This is the same sacrifice.
But this, not bloody like on Calvary,
Yet the same Sacrifice.

Chorus

In the house of God,
The house of our Father,
We have gathered for the Holy Sacrifice
Where Christ is the Priest and Victim.

Verse 2

On single sacrifice:
That of Christ and of the Eucharist.
One and the same Victim, Christ,
Offered now through the priest.

Chorus

In the house of God,
The house of our Father,
We have gathered for the Holy Sacrifice
Where Christ is the Priest and Victim.

Verse 3

Holy Sacrifice of the Church
Sharing in the offering of her Head,
In the Eucharist the Sacrifice of Christ becomes
That of the members of his Body

Chorus

In the house of God,
The house of our Father,
We have gathered for the Holy Sacrifice
Where Christ is the Priest and Victim.

Verse 4

Thanksgiving, it is thanksgiving
For the whole of creation;
All that we are, all that we have
A sacrifice of praise to God the Father.

Chorus

In the house of God,
The house of our Father,
We have gathered for the Holy Sacrifice
Where Christ is the Priest and Victim.

Verse 5

This Holy Sacrifice,
A communion with the Virgin Mary and the Saints,
For the souls in Purgatory,
That they may enter into endless bliss.

Chorus

In the house of God,
The house of our Father,
We have gathered for the Holy Sacrifice
Where Christ is the Priest and Victim.

Christ is the Victim,
Christ is the Priest,
Christ is the Altar;
So, it is a perfect Sacrifice.

Chorus

In the house of God,
The house of our Father,
We have gathered for the Holy Sacrifice
Where Christ is the Priest and Victim.

Verse 7

We are offering this Sacrifice
With Christ and through Christ,
In union with the Holy Spirit,
Giving glory to the Father Almighty.

Chorus

In the house of God,
The house of our Father,
We have gathered for the Holy Sacrifice
Where Christ is the Priest and Victim.
