Entrance Song
[Tune: Belmont - My God Accept My Heart This Day]
The King shall come when morning dawns,
And light triumphant breaks;
When beauty gilds the eastern hills,
And life to joy awakes.
Not as of old, a little child
To bear, and fight, and die,
But crowned with glory like the sun,
That lights that morning sky
O, brighter than the rising morn,
When He, victorious rose,
And left the lonesome place of death,
Despite the rage of foes;-
O, brighter than that glorious morn,
Shall this fair morning be,
When Christ, our King, in beauty comes,
And we His face shall see.
The King shall come when morning dawns,
And light and beauty brings;-
Hail! Christ the Lord; Thy people pray
Come quickly, King of kings.

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
Wait for the Lord, whose day is near.
Wait for the Lord: be strong, take heart!
Prepare a way for the Lord
Make a straight path for God
Prepare a way for the Lord
Rejoice in the Lord always, God is at hand
Joy and gladness for all who seek the Lord
The glory of the Lord shall be revealed
All the earth shall see the Lord
I waited for the Lord
God heard my cry
Our eyes are fixed
on the Lord our God
Seek first the kingdom of God
Seek and you shall find
O Lord show us your ways
Guide us in your truth
Words & Music: Jacques Berthier
Recessional Song
1. O come, divine Messi - ah!
The world in silence waits the day
When hope shall sing its tri - umph,
And sadness flee a - way.
CHORUS:
Dear Sa - viour haste;
Come, come to earth,
Dispel the night and show your face,
And bid us hail the dawn of grace.
O come, divine Messi - ah!
The world in silence waits the day
When hope shall sing its tri - umph,
And sadness flee a - way.
2. O Come, desired of nations
whom priest and prophets long foretold,
will break the captive fetters,
redeem the long-lost fold.
3. O come in peace and meekness,
for lowly will your cradle be:
all clothed in human weakness
shall we your Godhead see.
