Can this be done? The lyrics are Halleluia, Hallelulia, recieve the power of the Holy Spirit. It was the theme song for the last WYD.
 
Hi,

GIRM - The Acclamation before the gospel

#62. After the reading that immediately precedes the Gospel, the Alleluia or another chant indicated by the rubrics is sung, as required by the liturgical season. An acclamation of this kind constituttes a rite or act in itself, bu which the assembly of the faithful welcomes and greets the Lord who is about to speak to it in the Gospel and professes its faith by means of the chant. It is sung by … [and it goes on.]

a. The Alleluia is sung in every season other than Lent. THE VERSES ARE TAKEN FROM THE LECTIONARY OR THE GRADUAL.

No it could not be used as the Acclamation before the Gospel. Maybe if they knock out the Receive the Holy Spirit part, and use the verses that are taken from the lectionary or the gradual then yes. But not in its current form.

It would fit somewhere else in the Mass but not as one of the principal chants.

God Bless.

No, before the gospel this is what is to be sung:

Alleluia, alleluia. [may be repeated]
Gospel verse from the lectionary
Alleluia, alleluia. [may be repeated]

Nothing more.

Okay, back to topic…

I will never tell and neither will my little white fox who keeps me company here in the large and esteemed halls of CAF.

Yes back to topic. I am glad that MC posted what he said, I thought I was taking the GIRM way to far. I did not think so.

God Bless.
