Processional Hymn

LORD, WHOSE LOVE IN HUMBLE SERVICE (Sunday 9am)
Lord, whose love in humble service
bore the weight of human need,
who did on the cross, forsaken,
show us mercy’s perfect deed;
we, your servants, bring the worship
not of voice alone, but heart;
consecrating to your purpose
ev’ry gift which you impart.

As we worship, grant us vision,
till your love’s revealing light
till the height and depth and greatness
dawns upon our human sight;
making known the needs and burdens
your compassion bids us bear,
stirring us to faithful service,
your abundant life to share.

Called from worship into service
forth in your great name we go,
to the child, the youth, the aged
love in living deeds to show.
Hope and health, goodwill land comfort
counsel, aid and peace we give,
that your children, Lord, in freedom,
may your mercy know, and live.

CHRIST BE OUR LIGHT (Sunday 5pm)
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 Your hearts.
Shine through the darkness. Christ be our light!
Shine in your Church gathered today.

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.    Refrain

Longing for food, many are hungry.
Longing for water, many still thirst.
Make us Your bread, broken for others,
shared until all are fed.     Refrain

Offertory Hymn

ADORE TE, DEVOTE (Sunday 9am)
Adóro te devóte, látens Déitas,
quae sub his figúris vére látitas;
tíbi se cor méum tótum súbjicit,
quia te contémplans tótum déficit.

Visus, tactus, gustus in te fállitur,
sedauditu solo tuto créditor;
credoquidquid dixit Dei Filius;
nilhoc verbo veritátis véribus.

Incruce. latébat sola Déitas,
athic latet simul et humánitas;
ambotamen credens atque cónfitens,
petoquod petivit latro póenitens.

Plagas,sicut Thomas, non intúeor,
deumtamen meum te confíteor;
facme tibi semper magis crédere,
inte spem habére, te dilígere.

Omemoriále mortis Dómini.
Panisvivus, vitam praestans hómini,
praestameae menti de te vívere,
ette illi semper dulce sápere.

Piepellicáne, Jesu Dómine,
meimmúndum munda tuo sánguine:
cuiusuna stilla salvum fácere,
totummundum quit ab omni scélere.

Jesu,quem velátum nunc aspício,
orofiat illud quod tam sítio;
utte reveláta cernens facie,
visusim beátus tuae glóriae. Amen.

Communion Hymn

JESUS, MY LORD, MY GOD, MY ALL (Sunday 9am)
Jesus, my Lord, my God, my all,
how can I love Thee as I ought?
And how revere this wondrous gift,
so far surpassing hope or thought?

Refrain:
Sweet Sacrament, we Thee adore:
Oh, make us love Thee more and more;
Oh, make us love Thee more and more.

Had I but Mary’s sinless heart
to love Thee with, my dearest King,
oh, with what bursts of fervent praise,
Thy goodness Jesus, would I sing!   Refrain

HOLY SPIRIT, LIVING BREATH OF GOD (Sunday 5pm)
Holy Spirit, living breath of God,
breathe new life into my willing soul.
Let the presence of the risen Lord,
come renew my heart and make me whole.
Cause Your Word to come alive in me;
give me faith for what I cannot see,
give me passion for Your purity:
Holy Spirit, breathe new life in me.

Holy Spirit, come abide within,
may Your joy be seen in all I do.
Love enough to cover ev’ry sin,
in each thought and deed and attitude.
Kindness to the greatest and the least,
gentleness that sows the path of peace.
Turn my strivings into works of grace;
Breath of God, show Christ in all I do.

Holy Spirit, from creation's birth,
giving life to all that God has made,
show Your power once again on earth,
cause Your church to hunger for your ways.
Let the fragrance of our pray’rs arise;
lead us on the road of sacrifice,
that in unity the face of Christ
will be clear for all the world to see.

Recessional Hymn

NOW THANK WE ALL OUR GOD (Sunday 9am)
Now thank we all our God, with heart and mind and voices,
who wondrous things hath done, in whom this world rejoices;
who from our mother’s arms hath blessed us on our way
with countless gifts of love, and still is ours today.

Oh, may this bounteous God through all our life be near us,
with ever joyful hearts and blessed peace to cheer us;
and keep us in His grace, and guide us when perplexed,
and free us from all ills in this world and the next.

All praise and thanks to God the Father now be given;
the Son, and Him who reigns with them in highest heaven;
eternal Three in One whom earth and heav’n adore;
for thus it was, is now, and shall be evermore.
