"May the light of Christ, rising in glory
dispel the darkness of our hearts and minds."
Lumen Christi: Deo Gratias
1. Longing for light, we wait in darkness.
Longing for truth, we turn to you.
Make us your own, your holy people,
light for the world to see.
REFRAIN:
Christ, be our light! Shine in our hearts.
Shine through the darkness.
Christ, be our light!
Shine in your church gathered today.
2. Longing for peace, our world is troubled.
Longing for hope, many despair.
Your word alone has pow’r to save us.
Make us your living voice.
3. Longing for food, many are hungry.
Longing for water, many still thirst.
Make us your bread, broken for others,
shared until all are fed.
4. Longing for shelter, many are homeless.
Longing for warmth, many are cold.
Make us your building, sheltering others,
walls made of living stone.
5. Many the gifts, many the people,
many the hearts that yearn to belong.
Let us be servants to one another,
making your kingdom come.

R/ Like the deer that yearns for running streams
so my soul is yearning for you my God
Spoken verses:
1 My soul is thirsting for God.
The God of my life;
When can I enter and see
The face of God?
R/ Like the deer that yearns for running streams
so my soul is yearning for you my God

As I pour out my soul:
How I would lead the rejoicing crowd
Into the house of God,
Amid cries of gladness and thanksgiving,
The throng wild with joy.
R/ Like the deer that yearns for running streams
so my soul is yearning for you my God
3 O send forth your light and your truth;
Let these be my guide.
Let them bring me to your holy mountain
To the place where you dwell.

The God of my joy.
My redeemer, I will thank you on the harp,
O God, my God.
R/ Like the deer that yearns for running streams

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
VERSE 1:
In the darkness we were waiting
Without hope without light
Till from heaven You came running
There was mercy in Your eyes
To fulfill the law and prophets
To a virgin came the Word
From a throne of endless glory
To a cradle in the dirt
CHORUS
Praise the Father Praise the Son
Praise the Spirit three in one
God of glory, Majesty
Praise forever to the King of Kings
VERSE 2:
To reveal the kingdom coming
And to reconcile the lost
To redeem the whole creation
You did not despise the cross
For even in Your suffering
You saw to the other side
Knowing this was our salvation
Jesus for our sake You died
EXTENDED VERSE:
And the morning that You rose
All of heaven held it’s breath
Till that stone was moved for good
For the Lamb had conquered death
And the dead rose from their tombs
And the angels stood in awe
For the souls of all who’d come
To the Father are restored
And the Church of Christ was born
Then the Spirit lit the flame
Now this gospel truth of old
Shall not kneel, shall not fade
By His blood and in His name
And in His freedom I am free
For the love of Jesus Christ
Who has resurrected me
FINAL CHORUS:
Praise the Father Praise the Son
Praise the Spirit three in one
God of glory, Majesty
Praise forever to the King of Kings
Words & Music: Jason Ingram, Brooke Ligertwood, Scott Ligertwood (Hillsong)
Alleluia! sing to Jesus!
His the sceptre, His the throne.
Alleluia! His the triumph,
His the victory alone.
Hark! the songs of peaceful Sion
thunder like a mighty flood.
Jesus out of every nation
has redeemed us by His blood.
Alleluia! not as orphans
are we left in sorrow now;
Alleluia! He is near us,
faith believes, nor questions how;
Though the cloud from sight received Him
when the forty days were o’er
Shall our hearts forget His promise,
“I am with you evermore”?
Alleluia! Bread of Angels,
Thou on earth our food, our stay;
Alleluia! here the sinful
flee to Thee from day to day:
Intercessor, Friend of sinners,
Earth’s Redeemer, plead for me,
Where the songs of all the sinless
sweep across the crystal sea.
Alleluia! King eternal,
Thee the Lord of lords we own;
Alleluia! born of Mary,
Earth Thy footstool, Heav’n Thy throne:
Thou within the veil hast entered,
robed in flesh our great High Priest;
Thou on earth both priest and victim
in the Eucharistic feast.
Words & Music: W Chatterton Dix
1. Thine be the glory,
Risen, conquering Son;
Endless is the victory
Thou o’er death hast won!
Angels in bright raiment
Rolled the stone a - way,
Kept the folded grave-clothes
Where thy body lay.
REFRAIN:
Thine be the glory,
Risen, conquering Son;
Endless is the victory
Thou o’er death hast won!
2. Lo, Jesus meets us,
Risen from the tomb!
Lovingly He greets us,
Scatters fear and gloom.
Let the church with gladness
Hymns of triumph sing,
For her Lord is living,
Death hath lost its sting.
3. No more we doubt Thee,
Glorious Prince of life;
Life is naught without Thee:
Aid us in our strife;
Make us more than conquerors,
Through Thy deathless love;
Lead us in Thy triumph
To Thy home above.
REFRAIN:
Thine be the glory,
Risen, conquering Son;
Endless is the victory
Thou o’er death hast won!
