To Christ, our King, we sing this hymn,
our grateful hearts we raise
for Anthony, before his throne,
exult in joy and grace.

He followed close the Father’s word,
from him he never turned.
His miracles, a light to all,
to faith the lost recall.

O gentle saint, tell him our needs,
His children too are we;
O ask him now to grant our prayers,
and we at peace shall be.

This grace we beg of God on high,
The Father with the Son;
The Holy Spirit of his love,
Now and forever more.

Refrain:
O Anthony, God's chosen one,
With mortal eyes you saw your Lord.
A solemn pledge of glorious life,
A foretaste of your own reward. 

1. Sing joyful praises to the King,
A loyal soldier's recompense.
To Anthony, he grants this grace,
His miracles through human world. 

2. From Padua first, to east and west,
Arose a hymn of praise and fame,
Through heaven's grace, we still affirm
Unending honour to your name. 

3. May glory to the Father be,
And to the Son eternally,
The Spirit too, in essence one,
In Persons three, be Honour done.

1. If miracles you wish to see,
Lo, error, death, calamity,
The leprous stain, the demon flies,
From beds of pain the sick arise.

2. See perils perish, plenty's hoard,
Is heaped on hunger's famished board.
Let those relate who know it well,
Let Padua her patron tell.

3. The hunger sees forego their prey,
The prisoner's cruel chains give way,
While palsied limbs and chattels tossed,
Both young and old find all things lost.

4. May glory to the Father be,
And to the Son eternally,
And to the Spirit, Three in One,
In Perfect Love, be Honour done.

O most high and glorious God,

cast your light into the darkness of my heart.

Give me right faith, and certain hope,

and perfect, perfect charity.

Give me true insight, Lord, and wisdom,

that I may always live within your ever holy will.

Lord. may your light within me burn,

shining out in perfect charity.

Then most high and thankful praise

I will sing unto the glory of your name;

To Father, Son, and Spirit bright;

Living presence, Perfect Charity;

Praise to the Love that shine in splendour,

that light the pathways of my heart,

and bring me close to you. O Holy One

Invite me in, where you live in perfect charity.

Refrain:

The heavens are telling the glory of God,
And all creation is shouting for joy!
Come, dance in the forest, Come, play in the field,
And sing, sing to the glory of the Lord!

1. Praise for the sun, the bringer of day,
He carries the light of the Lord in his rays;
The moon and the stars who light up the way
Unto your throne!

2. Praise for the wind that blows through the trees,
The seas' mighty storms, the gentlest breeze;
They blow where they will, They blow where they please,
To please the Lord!

3. Praise for the rain that waters our fields,
And blesses our crops so all the earth yields;
From death unto life her mystery revealed
Springs forth in joy!

4. Praise for the fire who gives us his light,
The warmth of the sun to brighten our night.
He dances with joy, his spirit so bright,
He sings of you!

5. Praise for the earth who makes life to grow,
The creatures you made to let your life show;
The flowers and trees that help us to know
The heart of love.

6. Praise for our death that makes our life real,
The knowledge of loss that helps us to feel;
The gift of yourself, your presence revealed
To bring us home.

Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me bring your love.
Where there is injury, your pardon, Lord,
And where there's doubt, true faith in you.

Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there's despair in life, let me bring hope.
Where there is darkness, only light,
And where there's sadness, ever joy.

Oh, Master, grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console.
To be understood as to understand.
To be loved as to love with all my soul.

Make me a channel of your peace.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
It is in giving to all men that we receive,
and in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Refrain:

Sacred the land, sacred the water,
Sacred the sky, holy and true.
Sacred all life, sacred each other,
all reflect God who is good.

1. All praise be yours through Brother Sun,
bearing a likeness of you, Most High One.
Sister Moon and Stars who are precious,
splendid, ride your glorious sky.

2. Brother Wind and Air that pervades,
vary their moods to sustain all you've made.
Sister Water, useful and pure,
lowly, freely sharing her life.

3. Through Brother Fire you brighten the night,
strong and robust yet playful and bright.
Sister Earth, our mother who nurtures,
feeding, yielding flower and herb.

Final Refrain:

Sacred the land, sacred the water,
Sacred the sky, holy and true.
Sacred all life, sacred each other,
all reflect God, all reflect God.

Jesus, my only desire.

Jesus, my only desire.
Jesus, my love; Jesus, my beauty.
Jesus, my God and my all!

Refrain:

We are companions on the journey,
breaking bread and sharing life;

And in the love we bear
is the hope we share,

For we believe in the love of our God,
We believe in the love of our God.

1. No longer strangers to each other,
No longer strangers in God's house;

We are fed and we are nourished
by the strength of those who care,
By the strength of those who care.

2. We have been gifted with each other,
And we are called by the Word of the Lord:

To act with justice, to love tenderly,
And to walk humbly with our God,
To walk humbly with our God.

3. We will seek and we shall find;

We will knock and the door will be opened;

We will ask and it shall be given,
For we believe in the love of our God,
We believe in the love of our God.

4. We are made for the glory of our God,
For service in the name of Jesus;

To walk side by side with hope in our hearts,
For we believe in the love of our God,
We believe in the love of our God.

O Lord, you are the centre of my life:
I will always praise you,
I will always serve you,
I will always keep you in my sight.

Keep me safe, O God, I take refuge in you.
I say to the Lord, "You are my God.
My happiness lies in you alone;
my happiness lies in you alone."

O Lord, you are the centre of my life:
I will always praise you,
I will always serve you,
I will always keep you in my sight.
