The King shall come when morning dawns,
And light triumphant breaks;
When beauty gilds the eastern hills,
And life to joy awakes.
Not as of old, a little child
To bear, and fight, and die,
But crowned with glory like the sun,
That lights that morning sky
O, brighter than the rising morn,
When He, victorious rose,
And left the lonesome place of death,
Despite the rage of foes;-
O, brighter than that glorious morn,
Shall this fair morning be,
When Christ, our King, in beauty comes,
And we His face shall see.
The King shall come when morning dawns,
And light and beauty brings;-
Hail! Christ the Lord; Thy people pray
Come quickly, King of kings.

REFRAIN:
There is a longing in our hearts, O Lord,
for you to reveal yourself to us.
There is a longing in our hearts for love
we only find in you, our God
For justice, for freedom, for mercy
Hear our prayer.
In sorrow, in grief:
Be near hear our prayer, O God
For wisdom, for courage, for comfort
Hear our prayer.
In weakness, in fear:
Be near hear our prayer, O God
For healing, for wholeness, for new life
Hear our prayer.
In sickness, in death:
Be near hear our prayer, O God
Lord save us, take pity
Light in our darkness
We call you, we wait:
Be near hear our prayer, O God.

Mass of Creation | Music by Marty Haugen
Lamb of God, you take away
the sins of the world,
have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away
the sins of the world,
have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away
the sins of the world,
grant us peace; grant us peace.
Mass of The Creation - Marty Haugen
My Jesus,
I believe that You are present
in this Holy Sacrament of the altar.
I love You above all things
and I passionately desire
to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,
come spiritually into my soul
so that I may unite myself wholly to You
now and forever. Amen.
Based on a prayer of St Alphonsus Liguorit
1. O come, divine Messiah!
The world in silence waits the day
When hope shall sing its tri umph,
And sadness flee away.
CHORUS:
Dear Saviour haste;
Come, come to earth,
Dispel the night and show your face,
And bid us hail the dawn of grace.
O come, divine Messiah!
The world in silence waits the day
When hope shall sing its tri - umph,
And sadness flee a - way.
2. O Come, desired of nations
whom priest and prophets long foretold,
will break the captive fetters,
redeem the long-lost fold.
3. O come in peace and meekness,
for lowly will your cradle be:
all clothed in human weakness
shall we your Godhead see.
