Hymns

Thank you for giving me the morning.
Thank you for every day that’s new.
Thank you that I can know my worries
Can be cast on you.

Thank you for all my friends and brothers.
Thank you for all the men that live.
Thank you for even greatest enemies
I can forgive.

Thank you, I have my occupation.
Thank you for every pleasure small.
Thank you for music, light and gladness.
Thank you for them all.

Thank you, I see your Word has meaning.
Thank you, I know your Spirit here.
Thank you because you love all people,
those both far and near.

Thank You, Lord, for all you've done,
Things both great and small,
And for Jesus Christ Your Son,
Thank You most of all.

You forgive us when we falter,
You bring healing when we sin,
You redeem our life from bondage,
And renew us deep within.

As the rain comes down from heaven,
And it makes the earth yield fruits,
So the Word that You once planted
In our hearts has taken root.

You have brought us out of darkness
To the kingdom of Your Son,
In whom all things hold together,
By those cross we are made one.

While the heavens sing Your glory
And the skies proclaim Your work,
Day to day takes up the story,
Night to night declares Your Word.

Lord, we thank You for Your Spirit,
Whom You send to us to stay,
For He helps us in our weakness
When we know not how to pray.

Thank you, Lord, for giving us life, (x3)
Right where we are. 

Alleluia, praise the Lord, (x3)
Right where we are. 

Thank you, Lord, for giving us love... 

Thank you, Lord, for giving us joy...

Thank You, O Lord, Your love is boundless.
Thank You, Your presence is our peace.
Thank You, O Lord, for so much goodness.
Thank You, Your mercies never cease.

Thank You we heard Your word this morning / evening,
Thank You we ate the bread of life.
Thank You for sending us Your Spirit,
Thank You for giving us your peace. (x2)

Thank You, You free the broken-hearted.
Thank You for calming all our fears.
Thank You for bringing us forgiveness.
Thank You for binding up our wounds. (x2)

Thank You for giving us this moment.
Thank You for every joy we share.
Thank You for all our friends and neighbours
Thank You for those who love and care. (x2)

Thanks be to God, thanks be to God, 
For in union with Christ we are led to victory, 
Thanks be to God, thanks be to God, 
Thanks be to God! 

We are Christ's fragrance 
That goes everywhere to save, 
The incense that burns to bring new life. 

We bear his message, 
Not as peddlers of God's Word, 
But armed with sincerity and truth. 

We are Christ's letter 
Written on the human heart, 
Inscribed by the Spirit of the Lord.

That the world may believe, (x3) 
In the power of his love: 
We will walk side by side, we will walk hand in hand. 
We'll change the world through the power of our love!

My prayer, says the Lord, for these my own 
Is that they be of one heart and mind, 
Just as You are in me and I in You, 
May they be one in us that the world may believe. 

Wherever you go, there I shall go, 
And wherever you live, there shall I live 
I will love you and serve you for ever, 
For love is my decision today and every day. 

To dream our dream, to fight our foe 
And to bear unbearable woes, 
To forgive unforgivable hurts and wrongs, 
To love one another "as I have loved you".

The Bells of the Angelus, Calleth to pray,
In sweet tones announcing the Sacred Ave (2)

Ave, Ave, Ave Maria

Immaculate Mary, thy praises we sing,
Who reignest with Christ, our Reedemer and King. 
Chorus.

Immaculate Mary, your praises we sing,
You reign how with Jesus Our Saviour and King. 
Chorus.
The cup of blessing that we raise,
Is a communion with Christ’s own blood.

Tell me how can I repay the Lord
For all the goodness He has shown to me
I will life up the cup of salvation
The name of God I will call.

O how precious in the sight of God
The death of those so faithful and so true
I’m your servant, the child of your handmaid
Yes, you have loosened my bonds.

I will bring a sacrifice of praise
And I will call upon the name of God
Before all I’ll fulfill my promise
The vows I made to the Lord.

The First Noel, the Angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel! (x2)

They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night.

And by the light of that same star
Three Wise men came from country far
To seek for a King was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went.

This star drew nigh to the northwest
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both Pause and stay
Right o'er the place where Jesus lay.

Then entered in those Wise men three
Full reverently upon their knee
And offered there in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.

Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made Heaven and earth of nought
And with his blood mankind has bought.

The King of glory comes, the nation rejoices.
Open the gates before him, lift up your voices.

Who is the King of glory; What shall we call him?
He is Emmanuel, the promised of ages.

In all of Galilee, in city or village,
he goes among his people, curing their illness.

He gave his life for us, the pledge of salvation;
he took upon himself the sin of the nations.

He conquered sin and death; he truly has risen.
And he will share with us his heavenly kingdom.

Chorus:
The light of Christ
Has come into the world (x2)

All men must be born again
To see the kingdom of God
The water and the Spirit
Bring new life in God's love
Chorus

God gave up His only Son
Out of love for the world
So that all men who believe
In Him will live forever
Chorus

The light of God has come to us
So that we might have salvation
From the darkness of our sins
We walk into glory with Christ Jesus
Chorus

The Lord is my salvation, He is my light, my help, 
He is the stronghold of my life: why should I be afraid? 
One thing I seek and ask you, to live within your house, 
To savour of your sweetness, Lord, every moment of my life. 

Though hosts encamp against me, firm in the fight I'll stand. 
What need my heart to shrink in fear, with God at my right hand.

The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want.
Fresh and green are the pastures where He gives me repose.
Near restful waters He leads me to revive my drooping spirit.

The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want.
Yes, the Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want.

He guides me along what He knows to be right.
If I walk in the darkness, no evil would I fear.
I know that He will be there, with His crook and with His staff.

The Lord has prepared, such a banquet for me.
Surely goodness and kindness shall follow after me.
In the Lord’s own house shall I dwell all the days of my life.

The Lord is near to all who call on Him. 
Rest in Him alone, rest in Him alone. 

He will guard your coming and your going, 
He will be the one to guard your life. 
The sun will not harm you in the daylight, 
And the Lord will watch you through the night. 

He has seen a thousand years go past Him, 
Swiftly as the morning fades to night. 
So come, let Him fill you with His wisdom, 
To number all your days aright. 

Lord, in You I come to take my refuge, 
Through the night You ever counsel me. 
O Lord, You have formed me to be holy. 
And to rest within You peacefully.

Trust in Him for ever, O my people, 
Pour out all your hearts before the Lord. 
Your God is a rock of strength, your glory; 
In the Lord is all your hope restored.

The mass is ended, all go in peace,
We must diminish and Christ increase,
We take him with us, Where’er we go,
That through our actions his life may show.

We witness his love to every one,
By our communion with Christ the Son,
We take the Mass to where one may be,
So Christ may shine forth for all to see.

Thanks to the Father who shows the way,
His life within us throughout each day,
Let all our living and loving be,
To praise and honour the Trinity.

The more we hear of the Word of God,
The better we will know Him.

Open our minds and our hearts, O Lord,
Send us your Spirit anew.
Open our minds and our hearts, O Father,
We want to learn more about you.

The more we hear of the Word of God,
The better we will love Him.

The more we hear of the Word of God,
The better we will serve Him.

The people of God who had fled 
From the tyrant's cruel command, 
By God had been faithfully led, 
Safe across the dry, arid sand, 
With eyes that were constantly turned 
To the distant land of God's Word 
The land for which every tribe yearned, 
Where no cry of pain would be heard. 

We come land of our hope 
Though hard be the journey and long 
We come land of our hope, 
We know that to you we belong 
We come land of our hope, 
Our hearts over flowing with song 
We come land of our hope, we come! 

Weighed down by the sorrows of earth, 
See the nations look for the light, 
A thirst for the joys of true worth, 
For unending peace and delight, 
O where is the land that can fill 
The desires that burn in the heart? 
The true Church of God is the home 
That alone this joy can impart. 

Released from the bondage of sin, 
We now freely join in the march, 
Our Saviour shall help us to win 
What has been the goal of our search. 
Our home is God's heaven above 
To which every soul he will send 
If honest in faith and in love, 
We have followed Christ to the end.

The Savior is waiting to enter your heart
Why don’t you let Him come in?
There’s nothing in this world to keep you apart
What is your answer to Him?

Time after time He has waited before
And now He is waiting again
To see if you’re willing to open the door
Oh, how He wants to come in

If you’ll take one step toward the Savior, my friend
You’ll find His arms open wide
Receive Him, and all of your darkness will end
Within your heart He’ll abide

The spotless Robe of Christ was mine
The day I was baptised.
The spotless Robe of Christ was mine
The day I was baptised.

And at his feet I took the place
Of those who his call had despised
The spotless Robe of Christ was mine
The day I was baptised.

His loving hand was placed on em
And he did call me friend
The spotless Robe of Christ was mine
The day I was baptised.

And claiming me as his own child
Did royal favours extend
The spotless Robe of Christ was mine
The day I was baptised.

The light of Christ now shines through me
His Paschal joy on my brow
The spotless Robe of Christ was mine
The day I was baptised.

With lamp alight the bridegroom shall find
Me always awaiting Him now
The spotless Robe of Christ was mine
The day I was baptised.

What joy to be in Paradise
And share God’s heavenly bliss!
The spotless Robe of Christ was mine
The day I was baptised.

And we ourselves shall godlike be
Our faces resplendent like his.
The spotless Robe of Christ was mine
The day I was baptised.

Chorus: 
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases.
Your mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning,
new every morning:
great is your faithfulness, O Lord,
great is your faithfulness!

You, Lord, is good to those who wait for him,
to the soul that seeks him;
it is good that we should wait quietly
for the salvation of the Lord.
Chorus

So let us test and examine all our ways,
and return to the Lord;
let us lift up our hearts and not our hands alone
unto the lord who is in heaven.
Chorus

The world stands in need of liberation, my Lord, 
It still has to feel your power. 
The blind and the deaf, the dumb and the maimed, 
All need to feel your healing touch. 
The world stands in need of liberation my Lord, 
It still has to learn to love. 

There are those who have eyes but refuse to see
The inhumanity around.
There are those who have ears but refuse to hear
The cries of those in agony.

There are those who have mouths but refuse to speak
Against the injustice done to some.
There are those who have hands
But refuse to reach them out in love and charity.

There are those who have talents they do not use
To build a true community.
And we know that we all have the talent to love
But leave it buried in ourselves.

There are numerous strings in your lute, 
Let me add my own among them.

Then when you smite your chords 
My heart will break its silence 
And my life will be one with your song.

Amidst your numberless stars 
Let me place my own little lamp.

In the dance of your festival of lights 
My heart will throb 
And my life will be one with your smile.

Therefore the redeemed 
Of the Lord shall return,
And come with singing unto Zion;
And everlasting joy shall be upon their head (x2)

They shall obtain gladness and joy;
And sorrow and mourning shall flee away.

Therefore we, before him bending,
This great Sacrament revere;
Types and shadows have their ending,
For the newer rite is here;
Faith, our outward sense befriending,
Makes our inward vision clear.

Glory let us give, and blessing
To the Father and the Son,
Honour, might and praise addressing,
While eternal ages run;
Ever too his love confessing,
who, from Both, with Both is One.
Amen.

These forty days O Lord we spend
In fast and prayer with You;
Correct our faults and curb our pride,
Our minds and heart renew.

This time of grace employ,
Prepare your hearts with joy,
To celebrate the Paschal feast.

Our Lenten gift we bring to you:
A humbled contrite heart
O teach us in this world to live
As people set apart.

May we each day deny ourselves
To raise our minds to you;
And show to those who are in need,
Your goodness and your love.

You help us grow in holiness
And from our sins to rise.
Lord, through Your passion and Your death,
May Easter be our prize.
