Communion:
Stay Awake – Chris O’Hara



There will be signs upon the sun
The moon and stars will share Earth's agony.
And ev'ry nation will be fearful of the sound:
the ocean's roar, the raging sea

then they will see the Son of Man
riding the clouds with pow'r and glory;
hold up your heads, your liberation is at hand:
your destiny, your destiny...

Refrain:
O stay awake, do not fear the night
The dawn will break with the Saviour's light
Your liberation is at hand:
O stay awake!  O stay awake!

The time is near, we must arise,
no longer living in the dark of night.
So arm yourselves as people living in the way
of truthfulness, integrity,

and hold a dream of days to come
when we will reach God's holy mountain
and change all weapons into instruments of peace
to sow the seed of justice.


111 My soul in stillness waits   
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPpSZI1mpi0

Refrain:
For you, O lord,
my soul in stillness waits.
Truly my hope is in you.

1. O Lord of Light, our only hope of glory,
your radiance shines in all who look to you.
Come light the hearts of all in dark and shadow.

2. O Spring of Joy, rain down upon our spirits.
Our thirsty hearts are yearning for your Word.
Come, make us whole; be comfort to our hearts.

3. O Root of Life, implant your seed within us,
and in your advent draw us all to you,
our hope reborn in dying and in rising.

4. O Key of Knowledge, guide us in our pilgrimage,
We ever seek, yet unfulfilled remain.
Open to us the pathway of your peace.

5. Come, let us bow before the God who made us.
Let every heart be opened to the Lord,
for we are all the people of his hand.

6. Here we shall meet the makers of the heavens,
creator of the mountains and the seas,
Lord of the stars and present to us now.

End  84 Like a sea without a shore (Maranatha)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdPIt2GOf1s

Like a sea without a shore,
love divine is boundless.
Time is now and evermore,
and his love surrounds us.

(CHORUS)
Maranatha! Maranatha! Maranatha!
Come lord Jesus, come!

So that we could all be free,
He appeared among us,
Blest are those who have not seen,
Yet believe his promise.

All our visions all our dreams,
Are but ghostly shadows
of the Radiant clarity
waiting at life's close.

Death, where is your victory?
Death, where is your sting?
Closer than the air we breath
is our risen King.



TO LEARN FOR NEXT WEEK:

2nd Sunday...
console my people, a voice cries out in the wilderness,
prepare the way, shepherd gathering lambs, John the baptist... Live Holy Lives...

Suggestions..  
94  On Jordan's bank, 

96 A voice cries out
(Note to parents: the video images can be disturbing - I suggest you minimize the YouTube window so you can just listen and not watch. note to singers: if the verses are too difficult, just learn the refrain and I can sing the verses as Cantor. - May)

1. Console my people, the ones dear to me:
speak to the heart of Jerusalem:
the time of your mourning is ended now, 
the Lord of life will come.

Refrain:
A voice cries out in the wilderness: 
Prepare a way for the Lord!
A voice cries out in the wilderness: 
Make straight a high-way for God!

2. Ev'ry valley is made a plain, 
ev'ry mountain is leveled,
the glory of God shall then be revealed, 
and the nations will sing in praise. (refrain)

3. A voice shouts: 'Cry!' O what shall I cry? 
'All flesh is like grass and its flowers:
the grass may wither, the flower may fade,
but the word of the Lord is forever.' (refrain)

(same melody as verse 2)
4. Zion, shout from the mountain top, 
lift up your voice O Jerusalem,
and say to the people of God's own land,
'Behold, behold your God!' (refrain)

(same melody as verse 1)
5. The Lord will appear as a shepherd,
holding his lambs in his arms,
keeping his flock so close to his heart
leading them all, old and young. (refrain)
