ALL CREATURES OF OUR GOD AND KING (Sunday 9am)
All creatures of our God and King,
lift up your voice and with us sing; alleluia, alleluia!
O burning sun with golden beam, and silver moon with softer gleam:
O praise Him, O praise Him, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Swift rushing wind, you are so strong,
white clouds that glide in heaven along, O praise Him, alleluia!
O rising dawn, in praise rejoice, and lights of evening, find your voice:
O praise Him, O praise Him, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Pure flowing water, cold and clear,
make music for your Lord to hear: alleluia, alleluia!
and fire so masterful and bright, you give us both your warmth and light:
O praise Him, O praise Him, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Let all things their Creator bless, and worship Him in humbleness;
O praise Him, alleluia!
Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son,
And praise the Spirit, Three in One:
O praise Him, O praise Him, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

O GOD BEYOND ALL PRAISING (Sunday 9am)
O God beyond all praising,
we worship you today
and sing the love amazing
that songs cannot repay;
for we can only wonder
at ev’ry gift you send,
at blessings without number
and mercies without end:
we lift our hearts before you
and wait upon your word,
we honour and adore you,
our great and mighty Lord.
Then year, O gracious Saviour,
accept the love we bring,
that we who know your favour
may serve you as our king;
and whether our tomorrows
be filled with good or ill,
we’ll triumph through our sorrows
and rise to bless you still:
to marvel at your beauty
and glory in your ways,
and make a joyful duty
our sacrifice of praise.

I GIVE TO YOU A NEW COMMANDMENT (Sunday 9am)
I give to you a new commandment,
a new commandment I give to you,
that you love one another, love one another,
as I have loved you, as I have loved you.
Ubi caritas est vera, Deus ibi est.
Congregavit nos in unum Christi amor.
Exsultemus et in ipso jucundemur.
Timeamus et amemus Deum vivum.
Et ex corde diligamus nos sincero.
Where charity is true, God is there.
The love of Christ has gathered us into one.
Let us rejoice and be glad in him.
Let us fear and love the living God.
And from a sincere heart let us love one another.
I give to you a new commandment,
a new commandment I give to you,
that you love one another, love one another,
as I have loved you, as I have loved you.

FIRMLY I BELIEVE AND TRULY (Sunday 9am)
Firmly I believe and truly
God is Three, and God is One:
and I next acknowledge duly
manhood taken by the Son.
And I trust and hope most fully
in that manhood crucified;
and each thought and deed unruly
do to death, as He has died.
Simply to His Grace and wholly
light and life and strength belong,
and I love supremely, solely,
Him the holy, Him the strong.
And I hold in veneration,
for the love of Him alone,
Holy Church, as His creation,
and her teachings, as His own.

HAIL, QUEEN OF HEAVEN (Sunday 9am)
Hail, queen of heav’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.
