Opening Song

1. Sing of one who walks beside us

And this day is living still,

One who now is closer to us

Than the thoughts our hearts distill,

One who once upon a hilltop

Raised against the power of sin,

Died in love as his own creatures

Crucified their God and King.

2. Stay with us, dear Lord, and raise us,

Once again the night is near.

Dine with us and share your wisdom.

Free our hearts from every fear.

In the calm of each new evening,

In the freshness of each dawn,

If you hold us fast in friendship

We will never be alone.

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

1. In Christ alone my hope is found

He is my light, my strength, my song

This Cornerstone, this solid ground

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace

When fears are stilled, when strivings cease

My Comforter, my All in All

Here in the love of Christ I stand

2. In Christ alone, who took on flesh

Fullness of God in helpless babe

This gift of love and righteousness

Scorned by the ones He came to save

'Til on that cross as Jesus died

The wrath of God was satisfied

For every sin on Him was laid

Here in the death of Christ I live

3. There in the ground His body lay

Light of the world by darkness slain

Then bursting forth in glorious day!

Up from the grave He rose again

And as He stands in victory

Sin's curse has lost its grip on me

For I am His and He is mine

Bought with the precious blood of Christ

4. No guilt in life, no fear in death

This is the power of Christ in me

From life's first cry to final breath

Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man

Can ever pluck me from His hand

Till He returns or calls me home

Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

No power of hell, no scheme of man

Can ever pluck me from His hand

Till He returns or calls me home

Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

Till He returns or calls me home

Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
