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 YOU SEARCH ME (Sunday 9am)
Instrumental
I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE (Sunday 9am)
I am the Bread of Life.
You who come to me shall not hunger;
you who believe in me shall not thirst.
No one can come to me unless the Father beckons.
Refrain
And I will raise you up, and I will raise you up
and I will raise you up on the last day.
The bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world;
and you who eat of this bread,
you shall live forever; you shall live forever. Refrain
Unless you eat of the flesh of the Son of Man
and drink of his blood, and drink of his blood,
you shall not have life within you. Refrain
I am the resurrection, I am the life,
If you believe in me, even if you die,
you shall live for ever. Refrain

BE NOT AFRAID (Sunday 9am)
You shall cross the barren desert,
but you shall not die of thirst.
You shall wander far in safety
though you do not know the way.
You shall speak your words
in foreign lands and all will understand.
You shall see the face of God and live.
Refrain
Be not afraid.
I go before you always.
Come, follow me,
and I will give you rest.
If you pass through raging waters
in the sea, you shall not drown.
If you walk amid the burning flames,
you shall not be harmed.
If you stand before the pow’r of hell
and death is at your side,
know that I am with you through it all. Refrain
Blessed are your poor,
for the Kingdom shall be theirs.
Blest are you that weep and mourn,
for one day you shall laugh.
And if wicked tongues insult and
hate you all because of me,
blessed, blessed, are you! Refrain

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.
