Entrance Song

I, the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard my people cry.

All who dwell in dark and sin, my hand will save

I who made the stars of night,

I will make their darkness bright,

Who will bear my light to them?

Whom shall I send?

CHORUS:

Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?

I have heard You calling in the night.

I will go Lord, if you lead me.

I will hold Your people in my heart.

I, the Lord of snow and rain,

I have borne my people's pain.

I have wept for love of them,

they turn away.

I will break, their hearts of stone,

give them hearts for love alone.

I will speak my word to them.

Whom shall I send?

CHORUS:

Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?

I have heard You calling in the night.

I will go Lord, if you lead me.

I will hold Your people in my heart.

I, the Lord of wind and flame,

I will tend the poor and lame

I will set a feast for them,

my hand will save.

Finest bread I will provide,

till their hearts be satisfied.

I will give my life to them.

Whom shall I send?

CHORUS:

Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?

I have heard You calling in the night.

I will go Lord, if you lead me.

I will hold Your people in my heart.

Responsorial Psalm

RESPONSE: (Cantor, then all)

O blessed are those who fear the Lord

and walk in his ways!

1. O blessed are those who fear the Lord

and walk in his ways!

By the labour of your hands you shall eat.

You will be happy and prosper.

2. Your wife will be like a fruitful vine

in the heart of your house;

your children like shoots of the olive,

around your table.

the man who fears the Lord.

May the Lord bless you from Zion

all the days of your life!

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

I give myself away

I give myself away so You can use me (x2)

Here I am, here I stand

Lord my life is in Your hands

Lord I’m longing to see

Your desires revealed in me

CHORUS:

I give myself away

I give myself away so You can use me (x2)

2. Take my heart, take my life

As a living sacrifice

All my dreams, all my plans

Lord, I place them in Your hands

BRIDGE:

My life is not my own, To You I belong

I give myself, I give myself to You (repeat)

CHORUS:

I give myself away

I give myself away so You can use me (x2)

Recessional Song

Vs 1,2,4 & 5

Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;

Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art

Thou my best Thought, in the day and the night,

Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my wisdom, and Thou my true word;

I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;

Thou my great Father, and I thy true heir;

Thou in me dwelling, and I in thy care.

Riches I heed not, nor all the world's praise,

Thou mine inheritance, now and always

Thou and Thou on-ly, first in my heart,

High King of heaven, my treasure Thou art.

High King of Heaven, when battle is done,

Grant heaven's joy to me, bright Heaven’s Sun!

Christ of my own heart, whatever befall,

Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

Mary Elizabeth Byrne, Eleanor Henrietta Hull
