Preface

Ten years after the publication of the second edition of Journeysongs, it became evident that a new edition of this popular and well-received hymnal was necessary. The most compelling reason for a third edition was the introduction of the new English translation of The Roman Missal in November 2011. With the new text for the Order of Mass, along with the need for new musical settings of the Mass, plus the growing number of new songs published in these last ten years, the older edition of Journeysongs clearly needed a thorough revision.

As a result, we are proud to offer Journey-songs: 3rd Edition as our response to this need, especially for those parishes that have come to expect and rely upon OCP’s long-established tradition of a perfect balance between new music and a well-known, stable repertoire. The Order of Mass is shown, as required, with the newly-translated chants from The Roman Missal. In addition, OCP offers nine Mass settings in a variety of musi-cal styles and designed to meet various parish needs: Latin and English chant, traditional, multicultural and bilingual, and contempo-rary. Following these, a section of additional service music provides more possibilities for various moments during Mass.

Similar to the second edition, the Rites of Christian Initiation, the Order of Christian Funerals, Eucharistic Exposition and Benedic-tion, as well as Morning and Evening Prayer are given here. The Psalms and Canticles section was also thoroughly analyzed and updated to give a good selection of psalms for all the most important Sundays and feasts. Bilingual English/Spanish psalmody was chosen for those occasions when the entire parish com-munity might gather to worship, such as dur-ing Holy Week, or for weddings, funerals, and the RCIA.

In deciding which hymns and songs to carry over from OCP’s current hymnals, the hymnal committee looked at both previous editions of Journeysongs and Glory & Praise: 2nd Edition to make sure that important repertoire from these hymnals was not omitted. Therefore, the best-known music of the St. Louis Jesuits, the Dameans, Michael Joncas, Carey Landry, Bernadette Farrell, Christopher Walker, Bob Hurd, and many others, which has formed the basis for numerous parish music programs

over the last thirty years, has been retained. To supplement this, a large number of hymns and songs new to Journeysongs was drawn from music that has become known and loved in OCP’s missal programs over the last ten years, including a substantial number of songs from the popular Spirit & Song repertoire.

As in past editions of Journeysongs, a sturdy plastic pocket is attached to the inside back cover of the third edition to allow for custom-made parish music supplements, if desired, or for a variety of music supplements published by OCP for several specialized genres: Latin-language chants, Mass settings and hymns, Spanish-language songs and service music, and youth-oriented contemporary songs. The usual accompaniment editions are also pro-vided: keyboard/vocal, guitar/vocal, assorted C and B-flat instrument parts for those hymns and songs that have them, a CD and digital recording library, and a hardbound Choir/Cantor book. For liturgy preparation, in addi-tion to the complete set of indexes provided in the back and in the accompaniments, OCP now provides song suggestions for this edi-tion in its popular Today’s Liturgy magazine as well as on liturgy.com.

Journeysongs: 3rd Edition is also available in an edition with the complete three-year cycle of Lectionary readings. Music for the respon-sorial psalms and gospel acclamations in that edition is taken from OCP’s popular resource Respond & Acclaim, which may be purchased each year as needed or may be ordered as a standing subscription.

We must express our gratitude to the music advisory committee for Journeysongs: 3rd Edi-tion, whose recommendations were essential to the final content of this book: Mr. Frank Brownstead, Sr. Jeremy Gallet, SP, Dr. Jennifer Pascual, Sr. Mary Jo Quinn, SCL, and Dr. Elaine Rendler-McQueeney. Additional recognition is once again given to Amanda Weller and her editorial team, without whose assistance and hard work this hymnal would not have been possible.

SEASON OF LENT

Fourth Sunday oF Lent — C 894When celebrating the Scrutinies, the readings given for Year A, #892, may be used in place of these.

First reading Joshua 5:9a, 10–12

The Lord said to Joshua, “Today I have removed the reproach of Egypt from you.” While the Israelites were encamped at Gilgal on the plains of Jericho, they celebrated the Passover on the evening of the fourteenth of the month. On the day after the Passover,

they ate of the produce of the land in the form of unleavened cakes and parched grain. On that same day after the Passover, on which they ate of the produce of the land, the manna ceased. No longer was there manna for the Israelites, who that year ate of the yield of the land of Canaan.

u I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall be ever in

my mouth.Let my soul glory in the Lord; the lowly will hear me and

be glad. R

u Glorify the Lord with me, let us together extol his name.I sought the Lord, and he

answered me

and delivered me from all my fears. R

u Look to him that you may be radiant with joy,

and your faces may not blush with shame.

When the poor one called out, the Lord heard,

and from all his distress he saved him. R

second reading 2 Corinthians 5:17–21

Brothers and sisters: Whoever is in Christ is a new creation: the old things have passed away; behold, new things have come. And all this is from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ and given us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting their

trespasses against them and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. So we are ambassadors for Christ, as if God were appealing through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who did not know sin, so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

ORDINARY TIME

Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,

for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven.”

938 Fourth Sunday in ordinary time — B First reading Deuteronomy 18:15–20

Moses spoke to all the people, saying: “A prophet like me will the Lord, your God, raise up for you from among your own kin; to him you shall listen. This is exactly what you requested of the Lord, your God, at Horeb on the day of the assembly, when you said, ‘Let us not again hear the voice of the Lord, our God, nor see this great fire any more, lest we die.’ And the Lord said to me, ‘This was well

said. I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their kin, and will put my words into his mouth; he shall tell them all that I command him. Whoever will not listen to my words which he speaks in my name, I myself will make him answer for it. But if a prophet presumes to speak in my name an oracle that I have not commanded him to speak, or speaks in the name of other gods, he shall die.’”

as in the day of Massah in the desert,

where your fathers tempted me; they tested me though they had

seen my works.” R

second reading 1 Corinthians 7:32–35

Brothers and sisters: I should like you to be free of anxieties. An unmarried man is anxious about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord. But a married man is anxious about the things of the world, how he may please his wife, and he is divided. An unmarried woman or a virgin is anxious about the things of

the Lord, so that she may be holy in both body and spirit. A married woman, on the other hand, is anxious about the things of the world, how she may please her husband. I am telling you this for your own benefit, not to impose a restraint upon you, but for the sake of propriety and adherence to the Lord without distraction.

SOLEMNITIES AND FEASTS OF THE LORD AND THE SAINTS

doing this?” Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up.” The Jews said, “This temple has been under construction for forty-six years, and you will raise it up in three days?” But

he was speaking about the temple of his Body. Therefore, when he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they came to believe the Scripture and the word Jesus had spoken.

First reading Genesis 3:9–15, 20

After the man, Adam, had eaten of the tree, the Lord God called to the man and asked him, “Where are you?” He answered, “I heard you in the garden; but I was afraid, because I was naked, so I hid myself.” Then he asked, “Who told you that you were naked? You have eaten, then, from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat!” The man replied, “The woman whom you put here with me—she gave me fruit from the tree, and so I ate it.” The Lord God then asked the woman, “Why did you do such a thing?” The woman answered, “The serpent tricked me into it, so I ate it.”

Then the Lord God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, you

shall be banned from all the animals and from all the wild creatures; on your belly shall you crawl, and dirt shall you eat all the days of your life. I will put enmity between you and

the woman, and between your offspring

and hers; he will strike at your head, while you strike at his heel.” The man called his wife Eve, because she became the mother of all the living.
