1. Praise to the Lord, the Almighty,
the King of creation!
O my soul, praise him,
for he is your health and salvation.
All you who hear, now to his altar draw near,
join in profound adoration.
2. Praise to the Lord, above all things
so mightily reigning.
Keeping us safe at his side,
and so genty sustaining.
Have you not seen all you have needed has been
met by his gracious ordaining.
3. Praise to the Lord, who will
prosper our work and defend us;
surely his goodness and mercy
here daily attend us;
ponder anew all the Almighty can do,
he who with love will befriend us.
4. Praise to the Lord, oh, let all that
is in us adore him!
All that has life and breath,
come now in praises before him.
Let the Amen sound from his people again,
now as we worship before him.

Mass of St Bernadette | Music by Mike Stanley © CJM MUSIC
1 My God accept my heart this day,
and make it wholly thine,
that I from thee no more may stray,
no more from thee decline.
2 Before the cross of him who died,
behold, I prostrate fall;
let every sin be crucified,
and Christ be all in all.
3 Anoint me with thy heavenly grace,
and seal me for thine own,
that I may see thy glorious face,
and worship at thy throne.
4 Let every thought, and work and word
to thee be ever given,
then life shall be thy service, Lord,
and Death the gate of heaven.
5 All glory to the Father be,
all glory to the Son,
all glory, Holy Ghost, to thee,
while endless ages run.

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:
O God, you search me and you know me
All my thoughts lie open to your gaze
When I walk or lie down you are before me
Ever the maker and keeper of my days
Verse 2:
You know my resting and my rising
You discern my purpose from afar
And with love everlasting you besiege me
In every moment of life or death, you are
Verse 3:
Before a word is on my tongue, Lord
You have known its meaning through and through
You are with me beyond my understanding
God of my present, my past and future, too
Verse 4:
Although your Spirit is upon me
Still I search for shelter from your light
There is nowhere on earth I can escape you
Even the darkness is radiant in your sight
Verse 5:
For you created me and shaped me
Gave me life within my mother’s womb
For the wonder of who I am, I praise you
Safe in your hands, all creation is made new
Words & Music: David Ball and Bernadette Farrell
VERSE 1:
I watch the sunrise lighting the sky,
casting its shadows near.
And on this morning bright though it be,
I feel those shadows near me.
CHORUS 1:
But you are always close to me
following all my ways.
May I be always close to you
following all your ways, Lord.
VERSE 2:
I watch the sunlight shine through the clouds,
warming the earth below.
And at the mid-day life seems to say:
‘I feel your brightness near me.’
CHORUS 2:
For you are always… (etc)
VERSE 3:
I watch the sunset fading away,
lighting the clouds with sleep.
And as the evening closes its eyes
I feel your presence near me.
CHORUS 3:
For you are always close to me
following all my ways.
May I be always close to you
following all your ways, Lord.
VERSE 4:
I watch the moonlight guarding the night,
waiting till morning comes.
The air is silent, earth is at rest
only your peace is near me.
CHORUS 4:
Yes, you are always…
