I HEARD THE VOICE OF JESUS SAY (Saturday 5pm)
I heard the voice ofJesus say, “Come unto me, and rest;
lay down, thou weary one, lay down
thy head upon my breast.”
I came to Jesus as I was, weary, worn and sad;
I found in Him a resting-place and He has made me glad.
I heard the voice of Jesus say, “Behold, I freely give
the living water: thirsty one, stoop down, and drink, and live.”
I came to Jesus, and I drank of that life-giving stream;
my thirst was quenched,
my soul revived and now I live in Him.
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“I am this dark world’s light.
Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise and all thy day be bright.”
I looked to Jesus and I found in Him my star, my sun:
and in that light of life I’ll walk till trav’lling days are done.

Rejoice, the Lord is King!
Your Lord and King adore;
mortals, give thanks
and sing and triumph ever more.

Lift up your hearts,
lift up your voice!
Rejoice! Again, I say, Rejoice!
Jesus the Saviour, reigns
the God of truth and love;
when He had purged our stains
He took His seat above. Refrain
His kingdom cannot fail;
He rules o’er earth and heav’n;
the keys of death and hell
are to our Jesus giv’n. Refrain

COME AS YOU ARE (Sunday 5pm)
Come as you are, that’s how I want you.
Come as you are, feel quite at home.
Close to my heart, loved and forgiven;
come as you are, why stand alone?
No need to fear, love sets no limits.
No need to fear, love never ends.
Don’t run away shamed and dishearten’d.
Rest in my love, trust me again.
I came to call sinners, not just the virtuous.
I came to bring peace, not to condemn.
Each time you fail to live by my promise,
Why do you think I’d love you the less?
Come as you are, that’s how I love you.
Come as you are, trust me again.
Nothing can change the love that I bear you.
All will be well, just come as you are.

IN BREAD WE BRING YOU LORD (Sunday 9am)
In bread we bring you Lord, our bodies’ labour.
In wine we offer you our spirits’ grief.
We do not ask you, Lord, who is my neighbour?
But stand united now, in one belief.
O we have gladly heard your word, your holy word,
and now in answer, Lord, our gifts we bring.
Our selfish hearts make true, our failing faithrenew,
Our lives belong to you, our Lord and King.
The bread we offer you is blessed and broken,
and it becomes for us our spirit’s food.
Over the cup we bring, your word is spoken;
make it your gift to us, your healing blood.
Take all that daily toil, plant in our heart’spoor soil,
take all we start and spoil, each hopeful dream,
the chances we have missed, the graces we resist,
Lord, in thy Eucharist, take and redeem.
Lord, in thy Eucharist, take and redeem.

where he gives me rest. Refrain

LOVE IS HIS WORD (Sunday 9am)
Love is His Word, love is His way,
feasting with men, fasting alone,
living and dying, rising again,
love, only love, is His way.
Refrain:
Richer than gold is the love of my Lord;
Better than splendour and wealth.
Love is His way, love is His mark,
Sharing his last Passover feast,
Christ at His table, host to the twelve,
love, only love, is His way. Refrain
Love is His mark, love is His sign,
Bread for our strength, wine for our joy,
“this is my body, this is my blood”,
love, only love, is His way. Refrain

“Do this,” He said, “lest you forget
all my deep sorrow, all my dear blood”.
Love, only love, is His name. Refrain

THE POWER OF YOUR LOVE (Sunday 5pm)
Lord I come to You.
Let my heart be changed, renewed,
flowing from the grace
that I found in You.
Lord I've come to know,
the weaknesses I see in me
will be stripped away
by the power of Your love.
Refrain
Hold me close,
let Your love surround me.
Bring me near,
draw me to Your side.
And as I wait,
I'll rise up like the eagle
and I will soar with You;
Your Spirit leads me on
in the power of Your love.
Lord unveil my eyes.
Let me see You face to face,
the knowledge of Your love
as You live in me.
Lord renew my mind
as Your will unfolds in my life,
in living every day
by the power of Your love.

His healing’s flowing like a river,
flowing out of you and me,
flowing out into the desert,
setting all the captives free.
Hispeace is flowing like a river,
flowing out of you and me,
flowing out into the desert,
setting all the captives free.

HAIL, QUEEN OF HEAVEN (Saturday 5pm)
Hail, queen ofheav’n, the ocean star,
guide of the wand’rer here below;
thrown on life’s surge, we claim thy care:
save us from peril and from woe.
Mother of Christ, star of the sea,
pray for the wand’rer, pray for me.
O gentle, chaste and spotless maid,
we sinners make our prayers through thee;
remind thy Son that He has paid
the price of our iniquity.
Virgin most pure, star of the sea,
pray for the sinner, pray for me.
And while to Him who reigns above,
in Godhead one, in Persons three,
the source of life, of grace, of love,
homage we pay on bended knee;
do thou, bright Queen, star of the sea,
pray for thy children, pray for me.

JOYFUL, JOYFUL, WE ADORE YOU (Sunday 9am)
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee,
God of glory, Lord of love!
Hearts unfold like flow’rs before Thee,
opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness,
drive the dark of doubt away;
giver of immortal gladness,
fill us with the light of day.
All Thy works with joy surround Thee,
earth and heaven reflect Thy rays,
stars and angels sing around Thee,
centre of unbroken praise.
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
flowery meadow, flashing sea,
chanting bird and flowing fountain,
call us to rejoice in Thee.

THOUGH THE MOUNTAINS MAY FALL (Sunday 5pm)
Refrain:
Though the mountains may fall
and the hills turn to dust,
yet the love of the Lord will stand
as a shelter for all
who will call on his name.
Sing the praise and the glory of God.
Could the Lord ever leave you?
Could the Lord forget his love?
Though a mother forsake her child,
He will not abandon you. Refrain
Should you turn and forsake Him,
He will gently call your name.
Should you wander away from Him,
He will always take you back. Refrain
Go to him when you’re weary;
He will give you eagles’ wings.
You will run, never tire,
For your God will be your strength. Refrain
