Hymns

Sing unto the Lord a new song, 
Sing unto the Lord, all the earth. 
Sing to the Lord, bless his name, 
He is greatly to be praised, 
Sing unto the Lord a new song. 

Tell among the nations the Lord reigns, 
The world shall never be moved. 
Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice, 
Sing unto the Lord a new song.

Then shall all the trees sing for joy 
Before the Lord for he comes, 
He will judge the world with His righteousness, 
Sing unto the Lord a new song.

Sing we now in praise of Mary, sing with joy her praises due, 
Imitate her every virtue as a loyal child and true. 
In her womb she moulded Jesus, to her heart God's Word did stay. 
Into other Christ's she'll change us in a mother's gentle way. 

Sing of Jesus, Son of Mary, in the home at Nazareth. 
Toil and labour cannot weary love enduring unto death. 
Constant was the love he gave her, though he went forth from her side. 
Forth to preach and heal and suffer, till on Calvary he died.

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling for you and for me;
Patiently Jesus is waiting and watching
Watching for you and for me! Come home! come home!

You who are weary, come home!
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!

Why should we delay when Jesus is pleading
Pleading for you and for me?
Why should we linger and heed not His mercies
Mercies for you and for me?

Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing
Passing from you and from me;
Shadows are gathering, death-beds are coming
Coming for you and for me!

Oh, for the wonderful love He has promised
Promised for you and for me!
Though we have sinned, He has mercy and pardon
Pardon for you and for me!

Somewhere far from town and people in a stable poor,
Jesus Christ was born of Mary in a cave obscure.

To seek him don’t trouble to Bethlehem to go,
In silence you’ll find him and in the poor next door.

In the midst of noise and tumult can his voice be heard?
No, we’ll live in peace and silence, eager for his Word.

In the hungry, sick and homeless, Christ himself conceals
To the lowly, meek and humble, he himself reveals.

Did you hear the angels’ tiding? You can hear it still
If you bend his cave to enter, if you’re of good will.

Speak, O Lord: Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, 
Speak, O Lord, for your servant hears, 
Speak, living Word, touch our hearts. 

Spirit of God: Hallelujah, hallelu, hallelujah, hallelu, 
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu, hallelujah. 

The Spirit of God is poured upon us, 
The Spirit of counsel and of might 
Of wisdom and love and fear of the Lord, 
Of knowledge and understanding. 

Spirit of God : (For Weddings) 
The sign of God's love is Jesus the Lord: 
In him is revealed that God is love; 
And now love is seen in husband and wife: 
Through them is our love perfected. 

Spirit of God in the clear running water
Blowing to greatness the trees on the hill.
Spirit of God in the finger of morning:

Fill the earth, bring it to birth,
And blow where you will.
Blow, blow, blow till I be
But the breath of the Spirit blowing in me.

Down in the meadow the willows are moaning
Sheep in the pastureland cannot lie still.
Spirit of God, creation is groaning:

I saw the scar of a year that lay dying
Heard the lament of a lone whippoorwill.
Spirit of God, see that cloud crying:

Spirit of God every man's heart is lonely
Watching and waiting and hungry until
Spirit of God, man longs that you only

Spirit of the Living God, fall fresh on me
Spirit of the Living God, fall fresh on me
Melt me, mould me, fill me, use me (x2)

Spirit of the Living God, cleanse us from our sins…

Spirit of the Living God, fall fresh on me

Spirit of the Living God, fall fresh on me

Stabat Mater dolorosa
Juxta crucem lacrymosa,
Dum pendebat Filius.

Cujus animam gememtem,
Contristatam et dolentem,
Pertransivit gladius.

O quam tristis et afflicta
Fuit illa benedicta
Mater Unigeniti!

Star of the ocean and gateway to heaven, 
Guide of the pilgrim and light of our way, 
Save us from danger and lead us onward: 
Mary, we trust in your care. 

Ave, ave, ave Maria. 
Ave, ave, hail Mary full of grace! 

Show us, O Mary, that you are our Mother, 
Show to the rest of your offspring your Son, 
Who by his dying and rising healed us: 
Pouring new wine at your word. 

Guard us in danger, O blest among women, 
Keep us from sin on our journey through life; 
Till we reach harbour protect us, guide us: 
Mary, bright star in the night!

Stay awake, the Master is coming.
Be not asleep for all may be lost,
Stand ready, the Son of Man is coming
At a time we may least expect!

Prepare the way and clear the bye lanes
For our Lord and Master yet to come,
With open minds and grateful hearts
Let’s now repent our sinful past.

The Master’s work proclaims his glory,
He has given sight to the blind,
The deafened ears have been unsealed,
The lame have leapt and sung for joy.

“Forgive,” he says, “all those who hurt you,
Love instead as god’s good children should,
Don’t be their judge lest you be judged,
As God alone can judge us all.”

Let’s love them all who are around us,
Most of all the poorest of the poor,
By this we’ll bring a ray of hope
And joy into their saddened hearts.

1. Sweet heart of Jesus, fount of love and mercy,
today we come, thy blessing to implore;
O touch our hearts, so cold and so ungrateful,
and make them, Lord, thine own for evermore.

Chorus:
Sweet heart of Jesus, we implore,
O make us love thee more and more.

2. Sweet heart of Jesus, make us know and love thee,
unfold to us the treasures of thy grace;
that so our hearts, from things of earth uplifted,
may long alone to gaze upon thy face.

3. Sweet heart of Jesus, make us pure and gentle,
and teach us how to do thy blessed will;
to follow close the print of thy dear footsteps,
and when we fall – sweet heart, oh, love us still.

4. Sweet heart of Jesus, bless all hearts that love thee,
and may thine own heart ever blessed be,
bless us, dear Lord, and bless the friends we cherish,
and keep us true to Mary and to thee.
Sweet Sacrament divine,
hid in thine earthly home;
lo! round thy lowly shrine,
with suppliant hearts we come;
Jesus, to thee our voice we raise
In songs of love and heartfelt praise
sweet Sacrament divine.

Sweet Sacrament of peace,
dear home of every heart,
where restless yearnings cease,
and sorrows all depart.
there in thine ear, all trustfully,
we tell our tale of misery,
sweet Sacrament of peace.

Sweet Sacrament of rest,
ark from the ocean's roar,
within thy shelter blest
soon may we reach the shore;
save us, for still the tempest raves,
save, lest we sink beneath the waves:
sweet Sacrament of rest.

Sweet Sacrament divine,
earth's light and jubilee,
in thy far depths doth shine
the Godhead's majesty;
sweet light, so shine on us, we pray
that earthly joys may fade away:
sweet Sacrament divine.

Take and eat; this is my body. 
Take and drink for this is my blood. 

Gather at the altar, share the holy bread,
 Join in celebration of the words He said: 

We are all invited to the sacred meal; 
Food and drink he offers all our sins to heal. 

By the bread I give you, life will be restored. 
You will be my people, I will be your Lord. 

By the cup I offer, know that you are mine, 
Know that I am with you to the end of time. 

We must now pass over from the land of sin, 
Let the Holy Spirit write his law within. 

When you share this supper, when you drink this wine, 
You proclaim my dying till the end of time.

Take and receive O Lord my liberty
Take all my will my mind my memory.
Do Thou direct, and govern all and sway,
Do what Thou wilt, command and I obey.
Only Thy grace and love on me bestow
Possessing these all riches I forgo.

Only Thy grace and love on me bestow
Possessing these all riches I forgo. (2)

All things I hold, and all I won are Thine,
Thine was the gift, to Thee I all resign
Do Thou direct, and govern all and sway,
Do what Thou wilt, command and I obey.
Only Thy grace and love on me bestow
Possessing these all riches I forgo.

Take my life, O Lord, and ever let it stay
Consecrated to your care.
Take my life and give me your  life abundantly.
Make it beautiful in service, beautiful and free.

Lord, make my hands the channels of your love.
And may my feet walk in your way,
Take my voice and let it sing a song of praise.
From my lips may your word overflow. 
Chorus

To you I bring my intellect and will.
Lord, take my heart, make it your own,
Take my energy, my silver and my gold.
In exchange I will treasure your word. 
Chorus

Lord, make my body a living sacrifice.
Take and anoint it with your love.
Let me worship you in spirit and in truth.
By your touch my life be renewed. 
Chorus

Take our bread, we ask you,
Take our hearts, we love you,
Take our lives, oh Father,
We are yours, we are yours.

Yours as we stand at the table you set,
Yours as we eat the bread our hearts can't forget.
We are the signs of your life with us yet;
We are yours, we are yours.

Your holy people stand washed in your blood,
Spirit-filled, yet hungry, we await your food.
We are poor, but we brought ourselves the best we could.
We are yours, we are yours.


Take this and eat it, for this is my body. 
Take this and drink it, for this is my blood. 

Taste and see that the Lord is all goodness. 
Happy those who take refuge in Him. 

Come to Me, you who are heavy laden; 
Take my yoke, for my burden is light. 

When you eat and you drink at this table,
 Jesus' death you proclaim till he comes. 

Eat, you poor, and be filled, you afflicted. 
Those who seek him, give praise to the Lord. 

Come, be filled as you sit at my table. 
Quench your thirst as you drink of my wine. 

You who eat, break your bread with the hungry. 
You who drink of his Spirit, give praise. 

Beautiful is the place of your dwelling; 
How my soul longs for you, O my God. 

See, how good and delightful that people 
Share this meal to bring unity.

Take thou the offering thy children make, 
All united for Thy name’s sake. 

Heavenly Father, almighty God,
We offer Thee this sacrifice,
Show to us thy mercy, O Lord,
Forgive us the sins of all our life.

To thee, O Lord, our joy we give,
Our weariness, our work and woe,
The anxious moments that we live,
Lighten our burden as we go.

For all the living take thou this gift,
For our brothers and sisters who join in prayer,
For the absent ones, our hearts we lift,
Keep them all in Thy loving care.

Take up my cross, it is the Way, 
Keep my Word, it is the Truth, 
At my Table you'll find Life! 

For the cross of sheer folly to Gentile and Jew, 
But to us who are saved 'tis the power of God, 
So we know and proclaim only Jesus, as Lord. 
Jesus Christ who was nailed to the Tree. 

For the word of the Lord is a double-edged sword, 
So alive and so active, it pierces the heart, 
Not a creature can hide from the truth it declares, 
It exposes, lays bare all our thoughts! 

Lord, to whom shall we go? You're the Bread of Life: 
Living Bread that descends like the heavenly dew, 
Not the manna you gave to our fathers of old, 
But your flesh for the life of the world!

Take, eat, this is my body, broken for you. 
Take this and drink, the blood I have shed 
Eat of my flesh and live, Drink of this covenant blood. 

My blood was shed for many healing your sin. 
And if you live in spirit and truth 
You shall be free indeed, 
You shall be free indeed. 

Though like crimson and scarlet be all your sins, 
They shall be white, white, whiter than snow, 
They shall become as wool, 
They shall become as wool. 

If you wish to be great be the servant of all; 
For if Christ Jesus, Master and Lord, 
Deigned to wash our feet, 
We must serve others too. 

For God so loved the world he gave us his Son 
That whosoever has faith in him 
May gain eternal life, 
May gain eternal life.

Tantum ergo Sacramentum Veneremur cernui:
Et antiquum documentum Novo cedat ritui:
Præstet fides supplementum Sensuum defectui.

Genitori, Genitoque Laus et iubilatio,
Salus, honor, virtus quoque Sit et benedictio:
Procedenti ab utroque Compar sit laudatio.
Amen.

V/- . Panem de cælis[4] præstitisti eis (in Paschaltide and on Corpus Christi, 'Alleluia' is added).[5]
R/-. Omne delectamentum in se habentem[Wis 16:20] (in Paschaltide and on Corpus Christi, 'Alleluia' is added).

V/-. Oremus: Deus, qui nobis sub sacramento mirabili, passionis tuæ memoriam reliquisti: tribue, quæsumus, ita nos corporis et sanguinis tui sacra mysteria venerari, ut redemptionis tuæ fructum in nobis iugiter sentiamus. Qui vivis et regnas in sæcula sæculorum.
R/-. Amen.

Taste and see how good our God can be
O taste and see how good our God can be

I will bless the Lord at all times;
My mouth will proclaim His praise,
My soul makes it boast in the Lord, our God.
Let the humble hear and be glad

Come glorify the Lord with me,
Together let us praise His name.
Look to Him and grow bright in His radiant light
And your face will never be ashamed.

The eyes of the Lord are on the just,
And His ear toward all their cries
The Lord is near to the broken heart
And the crushed in spirit He saves.

O taste and see the Lord is good,
And happy are all who trust in Him.
O fear the Lord, you His holy ones,
Trust in Him and lack no good thing.

Teach Me: Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah 
Teach me to keep your precepts, 
Keep them with all my heart.
