Praise to the Lord, the almighty, the King of creation;
O my soul, praise him, for he is your health and salvation;
All you who hear, now to his altar draw near,
Join in profound adoration.

Praise to the Lord, let us offer our gifts at his altar;
let not our sins and transgressions now cause us to falter.
Christ, the High Priest, bids us all join in his feast.
Gathered with him at the altar.

Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in us adore him!
All that has life and breath, come now in praises before him!
Let the Amen sound from his people again:
now as we worship before him.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGmlaAbH9Vs


Blest be the Lord, the God of Israel,
the ever living Lord
who comes in pow'r to save his own,
His people Israel
For Israel he raises up
Salvation's bow'r on high
In David's house, who reigned as king
And servant of the Lord.

Through holy prophets did he speak
His Word in ages past
That he would save us from our foes
And all who bear us ill.
So to our lineage did he give his covenant of love
So with his people, he keeps his troth
In love that knows no end.

Of old he swore his solemn oath
To father Abraham.
His seed a mighty race should be
And bless'd for evermore.
He swore to set his people free
From fear of ev'ry foe
That we might serve him all our days
In goodness, love and peace.

O tiny child, your name shall be
the prophet of the Lord.
The way of god you shall prepare
To make his coming known.
You shall proclaim to Israel
Salvation's dawning day.
When God shall wipe away all sin
In his redeeming love.

The rising Sun shall shine on us
To bring the light of day
To all who sit in darkest night
And shadow of the grave.
Our footsteps God shall safely guide
To walk the ways of peace.
His name for evermore be bless'd
Who lives and loves and saves.

779 O God, you search me
http://www.spiritandsong.com/compositions/10409   
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3czLPaU6cU

(intro 8 bars)
1. O God, you search me and you know me.
All my thoughts lie open to your gaze.
When I walk or lie down you are before me:
Ever the maker and keeper of my days.

2. You know my resting and my rising.
You discern my purpose from afar,
And with love everlasting you besiege me:
In ev’ry moment of life or death, you are.

3. Before a word is on my tongue, Lord,
You have known its meaning through and through.
You are with me beyond my understanding:
God of my present, my past and future, too.

4. Although your Spirit is upon me,
Still I search for shelter from your light.
There is nowhere on earth I can escape you:
Even the darkness is radiant in your sight.
(violin interlude)

5. For you created me and shaped me,
Gave me life within my mother’s womb.
For the wonder of who I am, I praise you:
Safe in your hands, all creation is made new.

my version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgT4wnHCXF0
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aHneNl38fM

Refrain: (keyboard and flute first time)
No longer I, but Christ who lives within me:
this poverty; a treasure rich beyond compare.

(enter guitar)
The life we live is not our own.
Christ lives within us, the seed that must be sown.
Formed in the pattern of God's love.
We die to rise with the Lord.

(enter violin)
We have been clothed in Christ,
children of freedom, of justice and new life.
To him whose dying set us free,
we give our lives, our liberty.


Then may we bear the cross of Christ
and wear the brand-marks of Jesus in our flesh;
as wounded healers we become,
images of the risen one.

Bob Hurd, from Galatians 2:19-20;6:17.

in all whose cry is unheard.

Lord of creation, to you be all praise!
Most mighty your working, most wondrous your ways!
You reign in a glory no tongue e'er can tell;
you deign in the heart of the humble to dwell.

Lord of all power, I give you my will,
in joyful obedience your tasks to fulfill.
Your bondage is freedom, your service is song;
and, held in your keeping, my weakness is strong.

Lord of all wisdom, I give you my mind,
rich truth that surpasses our knowledge to find.
What eye has not seen and what ear never heard
is taught by your Spirit and shines from your Word.

Lord of all bounty, I give you my heart;
I praise and adore you for all you impart;
your love to inspire me, your counsel to guide,
your presence to cheer me whatever betide.

Gifts of bread and wine, gifts we’ve offered
Fruits of labour, fruits of love.
Taken offered, sanctified.
Blessed and broken, words of one who died.

Take my body, take my saving blood
Gifts of bread and wine, Christ our Lord.
                       
Christ our saviour, living presence here,
As he promised while on earth.
I am with you for all time,
I am with you in this bread and wine.
                         
Take my body, take my saving blood
Gifts of bread and wine, Christ our Lord.

Through the father, with the spirit,
One in union with the Son.
For God's people joined in prayer,
Faith is strengthened by the food we share.

Take my body, take my saving blood
Gifts of bread and wine, Christ our Lord.

Final 821 The Kingdom of God

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ol0vIgrdN5s
The kingdom of God is justice and joy;
For Jesus restores what sin would destroy
God's power and glory in Jesus we know
And here and hereafter the kingdom shall grow

The kingdom of God is mercy and grace
The captives are freed, the sinners find place
The outcasts are welcomed God's banquet to share
And hope is awakened in place of despair

The kingdom of God is challenge and choice:
Believe the good news, repent and rejoice!
His love for us sinners brought Christ to his cross:
Our crisis of judgement for gain or for loss

God's kingdom is come, the gift and the goal;
In Jesus begun, in heaven made whole,
The heirs of the kingdom shall answer his call;
And all things cry 'Glory!' to God all in all.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.


Resp.Psalm 806 The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZJMlbuD5Z

The Lord’s my Shepherd, I’ll not want.
He makes me down to lie (short pause)
in pastures green. He leadeth me
the quiet waters by.

My soul He doth restore again,
and me to walk doth make (short pause)
within the paths of righteousness,
even for His own name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale,
yet will I fear none ill. (short pause)
For Thou art with me, and Thy rod
and staff me comfort still.

My table Thou hast furnishèd
in presence of my foes, (short pause)
my head Thou dost with oil anoint,
and my cup overflows.

Goodness and mercy all my life
shall surely follow me. (short pause)
And in God’s house for evermore
my dwelling-place shall be.

lyrics and chords: http://www.worshiparchive.com/song/in-christ-alone

In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone! who took on flesh
Fulness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save:
'Til on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied -
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave he rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine -
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath.
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.

360 As I Kneel Before You (we are playing in 4/4 time, lead-in by percussion)

take this day, make it yours
and fill me with your love.

Refrain:
Ave Maria, gratia plena,
Dominus tecum,
benedicta tu.

All I have I give you,
Ev'ry dream and wish are yours;
mother of Christ, mother of mine,
present them to my Lord. (refrain)

As I kneel before you,
and I see your smiling face,
ev'ry thought, ev'ry word
is lost in your embrace. (refrain)

End: 365 Immaculate  Mary
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dcs6WPjZi0k

Immaculate, Mary!
Our hearts are on fire.
That title so wondrous
Fills all our desire!

Chorus
Ave, Ave, Ave, Maria!
Ave, Ave, Ave, Maria!

We pray for God's glory,
May His Kingdom come.
We pray for His Vicar,
Our Father, and Rome.

We pray for our Mother,
The Church upon earth.
And bless, sweetest Lady,
The land of our birth.

For poor, sick, afflicted
thy mercy we crave;
and comfort the dying
thou light of the grave.

In grief and temptation,
in joy or in pain,
we'll ask thee, our mother,
nor seek thee in vain.

In death's solemn moment,
our mother, be nigh;
as children of Mary -
help us when we die.

And crown thy sweet mercy
with this special grace,
to behold soon in heaven
God's ravishing face.

To God be all glory
and worship for aye,
and to God's virgin mother
an endless Ave.

All my deep sorrow, all my dear blood,
Love, only love, is His news.

Love is His news, Love is His name,
We are His own, chosen and called,
Family, brethren, cousins and kin.
Love, only love is His name.

Love is His name, love is His law,
Hear His command, all who are His,
Love one another, I have loved you
Love, only love, is His law.

Love is His law, Love is His word,
Love of the Lord, Father, and Word,
Love of the Spirit, God ever one,
Love, only love, is His word.

Offertory: 609 In bread we bring you
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD2XY6SNXwM (1st verse only)

In bread we bring you Lord, our body's' labour
In wine we offer you our spirit's grief.
We do not ask you, Lord, who is my neighbour,
But stand united now, one in belief.

O we have gladly heard your word, your holy word
And now in answer, Lord, our gifts we bring.
Our selfish hearts make true, our failing faith renew,
Our life belongs to you, our Lord and King.

The bread we offer you is blessed and broken,
And it becomes for us our spirit’s food.
Over the cup we bring your Word is spoken;
Make it your gift to us your healing blood.

Take all that daily toil plants in our heart’s poor soil,
Take all we start and spoil, each hopeful dream.
The chances we have missed, the graces we resist,
Lord, in thy Eucharist, take and redeem.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pg9dT7YZ0aY
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYaBJnhIFaQ

This is My body, broken for you,
bringing you wholeness, making you free.
Take it and eat it, and when you do,
do it in love for Me.

This is my blood poured out for you,
bringing forgiveness, making you free.
Take it and drink it, and when you do
do it in love for Me.

Back to my Father soon I shall go.
Do not forget me; then you will see
I am still with you, and you will know
you're very close to me.

Filled with my Spirit, how you will grow!
You are my branches; I am the tree.
If you are faithful, others will know
you are alive in me.

Love one another - I have loved you,
and I have shown you how to be free;
serve one another, and when you do,
do it in love for me.

Where two or three are gathered in my name,

And His righteousness
And all these things shall be added unto you

End: 644 Alleluia, sing to Jesus
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIYpVJNIW-o

Alleluia! sing to Jesus!
His the sceptre, His the throne.
Alleluia! His the triumph,
His the victory alone.
Hark! The songs of peaceful Zion
thunder like a mighty flood.
Jesus out of every nation
has redeemed us by His blood.

Alleluia! Not as orphans
are we left in sorrow now;
Alleluia! He is near us,
faith believes, nor questions how;
Though the cloud from sight received Him
when the forty days were o’er
Shall our hearts forget His promise,
“I am with you evermore”?

Alleluia! Bread of angels,
Thou on earth our food, our stay;
Alleluia! Here the sinful flee to Thee
from day to day:
Intercessor, Friend of sinners,
Earth’s Redeemer, plead for me,
Where the songs of all the sinless
sweep across the crystal sea.

Alleluia! King eternal,
Thee the Lord of lords we own;
Alleluia! Born of Mary, Earth Thy footstool,
Heav’n Thy throne:
Thou within the veil hast entered,
robed in flesh our great High Priest;
Thou on earth both priest and victim
in the Eucharistic feast.

With splendour He is crowned
How awesome is the sight
Our radiant King of Light
Be still for the glory of the Lord

To minister His grace
No work too hard for Him
In faith receive from Him
Be still for the power of the Lord

Set us free by the truth You now bring us,
Shine on me. Shine on me.

Flood the nations with grace and mercy
Send forth Your word

From the shadows into Your radiance,
By the blood I may enter Your brightness,
Search me, try me, consume all my darkness,
Shine on me. Shine on me. (refrain)

So our faces display Your likeness.
Ever changing from glory to glory,
Mirrored here may our lives tell Your story.
Shine on me. Shine on me. (refrain)
