1. Awake from your slumber! Arise from your sleep!
A new day is dawning for all those who weep.
The people in darkness have seen a great light.
The Lord of our longing has conquered the night.

Refrain: Let us build the city of God.
May our tears be turned into dancing!
For the Lord, our light and our Love,
has turned the night into day!

2. We are sons of the morning; we are daughters of day.
The One who has loved us has brightened our way.
The Lord of all kindness has called us to be
a light for his people to set their hearts free.

3. (coda) God is light; in him there is no darkness.
Let us walk in his light, his children one and all.

O comfort my people make gentle your words,
proclaim to my city the day of her birth.

4. O city of gladness now lift up your voice,
proclaim the good tidings that all may rejoice

PSALM   948  Because the Lord is my Shepherd

1. Because the Lord is my shepherd,
I have ev’ry thing I need.
He lets me rest in the meadow and leads me
to the quiet streams.
He restores my soul and he leads me
in the paths that are right:

Refrain
Lord, you are my shepherd,
you are my friend.
I want to follow you always,
just to follow my friend.

2. And when the road leads to darkness,
I shall walk there unafraid.
Even when death is close I have courage,
for your help is there.
You are close beside me with comfort,
you are guiding my way:

3. In love you make me a banquet
for my enemies to see.
You make me welcome, pouring down honor
from your mighty hand,
and this joy fills me with gladness;
it is too much to bear:

4. Your goodness always is with me
and your mercy I know.
Your loving kindness strengthens me always
as I go through life.
I shall dwell in your presence forever,
giving praise to your name:

Gospel Acclamation: Mass of Light
http://youtu.be/BzuVF1rwamAgo to (3:02)

Cantor:
Glory to you, O Word of God,
Lord Jesus Christ.

Glory to you, O Word of God,
Lord Jesus Christ.

OFFERTORY:  610 Take our bread
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k81S0Y5227s

Refrain:
Take our bread, we ask You,
Take our hearts, we love You,
Take our lives, oh Father,
We are Yours, we are Yours.

Yours as we stand at the table You set,
Yours as we eat the bread our hearts can't forget.
We are the signs of Your life with us yet;
We are Yours, we are Yours.

Your holy people stand washed in Your blood,
Spirit filled, yet hungry, we await Your food.
Poor though we are, we have brought
Ourselves to You:
We are Yours, we are Yours.

Holy Holy: Mass of Light
http://youtu.be/BzuVF1rwamA (go to 5:30)

Holy, Holy, Holy,
Holy Lord God of hosts.
Heaven and earth are
full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.

Blessed is he who comes in the
name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna in the highest

Memorial Acclamation: We proclaim - (Mass of Light) (go to 6:20)
http://youtu.be/BzuVF1rwamA

We proclaim your Death, O Lord,
and profess your Resurrection
until you come
until you come again.

COMM:  792  Eye has not seen
http://youtu.be/rRyOS0nZr7s

Refrain:
Eye has not seen, ear has not heard
what God has ready for those who love him.
Spirit of love, come, give us the mind of Jesus;
teach us the wisdom of God.

When pain and sorrow weigh us down,
be near to us, O Lord;
Forgive the weakness of our faith,
and bear us up within your peaceful word. (Refrain)

Our lives are but a single breath,
we flower and we face;
Yet all our days are in your hands,
so we return in love what love has made. (Refrain)

To those who see with eyes of faith,
the Lord is ever near,
Reflected in the faces
of all the poor and lowly of the world. (Refrain)

We sing a mystery from the past
in halls where saints have trod;
Yet ever new the music rings
to Jesus living Song of God. (Refrain)

Refrain:

Lay Your hands, gently upon us,
Let Their touch render Your peace.
Let them bring your forgiveness and healing,
Lay Your hands, gently lay your Hands.

1. You were sent to free the broken -hearted,
You were sent to give sight to the blind.
You desire to heal all our illnesses,
Lay Your hands gently lay your hands.

2. Lord we come to you through one another,
Lord we come to You in our need.
Lord we come to You seeking wholeness,
Lay Your Hands, gently lay Your hands.

END:  846 Amazing grace (Bradford Chaplaincy/Claz’s version):

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.
