Opening Song


Verse 1:

Lord of all hopefulness, Lord of all joy,

Whose trust, ever childlike, no cares can destroy,

Be there at our waking, and give us, we pray,

Your bliss in our hearts, Lord, at the break of the day.


Lord of all eagerness, Lord of all faith,

Whose strong hands were skilled at the plane and the lathe,

Be there at our labors, and give us, we pray,

Your strength in our hearts, Lord at the noon of the day.


Lord of all kindliness, Lord of all grace,

Your hands swift to welcome, your arms to embrace,

Be there at our homing, and give us, we pray,

Your love in our hearts, Lord, at the eve of the day.

Responsorial Psalms

Psalm 114(116):1-6, 8-9


R/: I will walk in the presence of the Lord

in the land, the land of the living.

I will walk in the presence of the Lord in the land... of the living.


1. I love the Lord for he has heard

the cry... of my appeal;

for he turned his ear to me

on the day when I called him.


(R/)


2. They surrounded me, the snares of death,

with the anguish of the tomb;

they caught me, sorrow and distress.

I called on the Lord’s name.

O Lord, my God, de - liver me!


(R/)


3. How gracious is the Lord, and just;

our God... has compassion.

The Lord protects the simple hearts;

I was helpless so he saved me.


(R/)


4. He has kept my soul from death,

my eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling.

I will walk in the presence of the Lord

in the land of the living.


(R/)

Offertory Song


VERSE 1:

Take my hands and make them as your own,

And use them for your kingdom here on earth.

Consecrate them to your care

Anoint them for your service were

You may need your gospel to be sown.


VERSE 2:

Take my hands they speak now for my heart,

And by their actions they will show their love.

Guard them on their daily course.

Be their strenght and guiding force.

To ever serve the Trinity above.


VERSE 3:

Take my hands I give them to you Lord,

Prepare them for the service of your name.

Open them to human need

And by their love they'll sow your seed

So all may know the love and hope you gave

Prayer of Spiritual Communion

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

Communion Song


VERSE 1:

Be still, for the presence of the Lord,

the Holy One is here.

Come, bow before Him now,

with reverence and fear.


In Him no sin is found,

we stand on holy ground.

Be still, for the presence of the Lord,

the Holy One is here.


VERSE 2

Be still, for the glory of the Lord,

is shining all around.

He burns with holy fire,

with splendour He is crowned.


How awesome is the sight,

our radiant King of Light!

Be still, for the glory of the Lord,

is shining all around.


VERSE 3

Be still, for the power of the Lord,

is moving in this place.

He comes to cleanse and heal,

to minister His grace.


No work too hard for Him,

in faith receive from Him.

Be still, for the power of the Lord,

is moving in this place.
