JESUS CHRIST IS RIS’N TODAY (Saturday 5pm)
Jesus Christ is ris’n today, Alleluia!
our triumphant holy day, Alleluia!
who did once, upon the cross, Alleluia!
suffer to redeem our loss. Alleluia!

Hymns of praise then let us sing, Alleluia!
unto Christ, our heav’nly King, Alleluia!
who endured the cross and grave, Alleluia!
sinners to redeem and save. Alleluia!

But the pain that he endured, Alleluia!
our salvation has procured; Alleluia!
now exalted He is King, Alleluia!
and the angels ever sing. Alleluia!

Sing we to our God above, Alleluia!
praise eternal as His love; Alleluia!
praise Him now His might confess, Alleluia!
Father, Son and Spirit blest. Alleluia!

LOVE DIVINE, ALL LOVES EXCELLING (Sunday 9am)
Love divine, all loves excelling,
joy of heav’n , to earth come down;

Offertory Hymn

HAIL MARY: GENTLE WOMAN (Sunday 9am)
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women,
and blest is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners
now and at the hour of death. Amen.

Refrain
Gentle woman, quiet light,
morning star, so strong and bright,
Gentle mother, peaceful dove,
teach us wisdom, teach us love.

You were chosen by the Father,
You were chosen for the Son.
You were chosen from all women
and for woman, shining one.     Refrain

Blessed are you among women,
blest in turn all women too.
Blessed they with peaceful spirits.
Blessed they with gentle hearts.      Refrain

Communion Hymn

JESUS, MY LORD, MY GOD, MY ALL (Saturday 5pm)
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

SPIRIT SONG (Sunday 9am)
O let the Son of God enfold you
with His spirit and His love.
Let Him fill your heart and satisfy your soul.
O let Him have the things that hold you
and His spirit like a dove
will descend upon your life and make you whole.

Refrain
Jesus, O Jesus come and fill your lambs.
Jesus, O Jesus come and fill your lambs.

O come and sing this song of gladness
as your hearts are filled with joy.
Lift your hands in sweet surrender to His name.
O give Him all your tears and sadness,
give Him all your years of pain.
And you’ll enter into life in Jesus’ name.  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

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

Recessional Hymn

HAIL, QUEEN OF HEAVEN (Saturday 5pm)
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.

BRING, ALL YOU DEAR BOUGHT NATIONS (Sunday 9am)
Bring, all you dear bought nations, bring
your richest praises to your King,
alleluia, alleluia.
That spotless lamb, who more than due,
paid for His sheep, and those sheep you,
alleluia, alleluia, alleluia,
alleluia, alleluia.

That guiltless Son, who bought your peace,
and made His Father’s anger cease,
alleluia, alleluia,
then life and death together fought
each to a strange extreme was bought,
alleluia, alleluia, alleluia,
alleluia, alleluia.

Life died, but soon revived again,
and even death by it was slain,
alleluia, alleluia,
say happy Magdalen, oh say,
what did you see along the way?
alleluia, alleluia, alleluia,
alleluia, alleluia.
