Glorious in heaven above.
Humbly you came to the earth you created,
All for love's sake became  poor.

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.

824 City of God 

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



Final 986  In the day of the Lord

Refrain
In the day of the Lord, the sun will shine
like the dawn of eternal day.
All creation will rise to dance and sing
the glory of the Lord!

1. And on that day will justice triumph,
on that day will all be free:
free from want, free from fear, free to live!

2. Then shall the nations throng together
to the mountain of the Lord:
they shall walk in the light of the Lord!

3. And they shall beat their swords to plowshares;
there will be an end to war:
one in peace, one in love, one in God!

4. For Israel shall be delivered,
and the desert lands will bloom.
Say to all, “Do not fear. Here is your God!”

5. And on that day of Christ in glory,
God will wipe away our tears,
and the dead shall rise up from their graves!

6. O give us eyes to see your glory,
give us hearts to understand.

Let our ears hear your voice ‘til you come!

Make way, make way for Christ the King

Fling wide the gates and welcome Him
into your lives.

CHORUS: (Can the ladies sing the echo in brackets please?)
Make way, (make way),
Make way, (make way),
for the King of kings, (for the King of kings)
Make way, (make way),
Make way, (make way),
and let His kingdom in.

He comes the broken hearts to heal
the prisoners to free,
The deaf shall hear, the lame shall dance,
the blind shall see.

And those who mourn with heavy hearts,
who weep and sigh;
With laughter, joy and royal crown

To have no gods before Him
their thrones must fall!

Gospel acc 261 Alleluia (Gospel Acclamation for Easter)
https://youtu.be/MaGyFmb-Ta8

Offertory: 609 In bread we bring you Lord
https://youtu.be/heXlciNl2CU

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.

What kind of Throne  
http://www.resoundworship.org/song/what_kind_of_throne

What kind of throne is a manger of hay?
No majesty shown there, no dignity claimed,
for one who deserves to be
crowned and enthroned on our praise?

What kind of king is so modestly born,
when glory unmeasured is humble and small?
This is the hope of the world
and the true light of all.

Refrain:
So I'll bow down to worship the humblest of kings
and I'll bring him the best that I have;
I'll say that I love him, and that I am his,
and I'll give him the throne of my heart,
I'll give him the throne of my heart.

What kind of Saviour makes weakness his strength,
in frailty depending on those he would save,
and veiling the power that always belonged to his name?

What kind of child causes heaven to sing,
with angels proclaiming the hope that he brings?
This is the glory of God, this is Jesus, the King.


Final: 325  Christ is our king
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBdD_fSHNUM

Refrain:
Christ  is our King, let  the whole world rejoice!
May all the nations sing out with one voice!
Light  of the world, you  have helped us to see
that we are one people and one day we shall all be free.

He came to open  the eyes of the blind,
letting the sunlight  pour into their minds.
Vision is waiting  for those who have hope.
He is the light  of the world. (refrain)

He came to speak  tender words to the poor,
he is the gateway and he is the door.
Riches are waiting  for all those who hope.
He is the light  of the world. (refrain)

He came to open the doors of the jail,
he came to help the downtrodden and frail.
Freedom is waiting for all those who hope.
He is the light  of the world. (refrain)

He came to open the lips of the mute,
letting them speak out with courage and truth.
His words are uttered by all those who hope.
He is the light of the world. (refrain)

He came to heal all the crippled and lame,
sickness took flight at the sound of his name.
Vigour is waiting for all those who hope.
He is the light  of the world. (refrain)

He came to love everyone on this earth,
and through his Spirit he promised rebirth.
New life is waiting for all those who hope.
He is the light  of the world. (refrain)

Here I am Lord, Is it I Lord?
I have heard You calling in the night.
I will go Lord, if You lead me.

I, the Lord of snow and rain,

I have born my peoples pain.
I have wept for love of them, They turn away.
I will break their hearts of stone,
Give them hearts for love alone.
I will speak My word to them,
Whom shall I send? (Refrain)

I, the Lord of wind and flame,

bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun,
and hold you in the palm of His hand.

The snare of the fowler will never capture you,

and famine will bring you no fear:
under His wings your refuge,
His faithfulness your shield.  (Refrain)

You need not fear the terror of the night,

nor the arrow that flies by day;
though thousands fall about you,
near you it shall not come. (Refrain)

For to His angels He's given a command

to guard you in all of your ways;
upon their hands they will bear you up,
lest you dash your foot against a stone. (Refrain)

And hold you, hold you in the palm of His hand.

Communion:
795 I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say 

http://youtu.be/uqF4N7rdV-w 
https://youtu.be/3BRt1qTBhG8

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Come unto me and rest;
lay down, you weary one, lay down
your head upon my breast."
I came to Jesus as I was,
so weary, worn, and sad;
I found in him a resting place,
and he has made me glad.

I heard the voice of Jesus say,

"Behold, I freely give
the living water; thirsty one,
stoop down and drink, and live."
I came to Jesus, and I drank
of that life-giving stream;
my thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
and now I live in him.

I heard the voice of Jesus say,

"I am this dark world's light;
look unto me, your morn shall rise,
and all your day be bright."
I looked to Jesus, and I found
in him my Star, my Sun;
and in that light of life I'll walk
till traveling days are done.

786 Turn to Me

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x17vlonMzuI

Refrain:
Turn to me, O turn and be saved, says the Lord, 
for I am God;
There is no other, none beside me.
I call your name.

I am God who comforts you;

who are you to be afraid,
of flesh that fades, 
is made like the grass of the field,
soon to wither.

Listen to me, my people;

Give ear to me, my nation:
a law will go forth from me, 
and my justice for a light to the people.

Lift up your eyes to the heavens,

and look at the earth down below.
the heavens will vanish like smoke,
and the earth will wear out like a garment.


Final Commendation: 443 Song of Farewell (May the choirs of Angels)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4eAM3WEA7g


Refrain:
May the choirs of angels come to greet you.
May they speed you to paradise.
May the Lord enfold you in His mercy.
May you find eternal life.

The Lord is my light and my help;

it is He who protects me from harm.
The Lord is the strength of my days;
before whom should I tremble with fear? (Refrain)

There is one thing I ask of the Lord;

that He grant me my heartfelt desire.
To dwell in the courts of our God
ev'ry day of my life in His presence. (Refrain)

O Lord, hear my voice when I cry;

have mercy on me and give answer.
Do not cast me away in you anger, 
for you are the God of my help. (Refrain)

I am sure I shall see the Lord's goodness;

I shall dwell in the land of the living.
Hope in God, stand firm and take heart,
place all your trust in the Lord. (Refrain)


Final hymn: 964 Be not afraid 

http://youtu.be/MLjM8IlrVrk

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 the 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 power of hell
And death is at your side
Know that I am with you
Through it all (Refrain)

Blessed are the poor

For the kingdom shall be theirs
Blessed 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)

Brought here to you in the light of this day.

Gather us in-
the lost and forsaken,
Gather us in-
the blind and the lame;
Call to us now,
and we shall awaken,
We shall arise at the sound of our name.

We are the young-
our lives are a myst’ry,
We are the old –
who yearn for your face,
We have been sung throughout all of hist’ry,
Called to be light to the whole human race.

Gather us in-
 the rich and the haughty,
Gather us in-
 the proud and the strong;
Give us a heart so meek and so lowly,
Give us the courage to enter the song.

Here we will take the wine and the water,
Here we will take the bread of new birth,
Here you shall call your sons and your daughters,
Call us anew to be salt for the earth.

Give us to drink the wine of compassion,
Give us to eat the bread that is you;
Nourish us well, and teach us to fashion
Lives that are holy and hearts that are true.

Gather us in and hold us forever,
Gather us in and make us your own;
Gather us in-
all peoples together,
Fire of love in our flesh and our bone.

Offertory: 706 Praise to the Lord 

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 temple draw near,
Join in profound adoration.

Praise to the Lord, above all things so mightily reigning.,
Keeping us safe at his side, and so gently sustaining.
Have you not seen all you have needed has been
met by his gracious ordaining?

Praise to the Lord, who will prosper our work and defend us;
Surely his goodness and mercy here daily attend us;
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do,
Who with his love will befriend us.

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.

Who comes in the name,

When we eat this bread and drink this cup
When we eat this bread and drink this cup
We proclaim your death, O Lord
We proclaim your death, O Lord
We proclaim your Death until you come again.

Communion 1: 795 I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Come unto me and rest;
lay down, you weary one, lay down
your head upon my breast."
I came to Jesus as I was,
so weary, worn, and sad;
I found in him a resting place,
and he has made me glad.

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Behold, I freely give
the living water; thirsty one,
stoop down and drink, and live."
I came to Jesus, and I drank
of that life-giving stream;
my thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
and now I live in him.

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"I am this dark world's light;
look unto me, your morn shall rise,
and all your day be bright."
I looked to Jesus, and I found
in him my Star, my Sun;
and in that light of life I'll walk
till traveling days are done.

Communion 2:  786 Turn to Me

Refrain:
Turn to me, O turn and be saved, says the Lord,
for I am God;
There is no other, none beside me.
I call your name.

I am God who comforts you;
who are you to be afraid,
of flesh that fades,
is made like the grass of the field,
soon to wither.

Listen to me, my people;
Give ear to me, my nation:
a law will go forth from me,
and my justice for a light to the people.

Lift up your eyes to the heavens,
and look at the earth down below.
the heavens will vanish like smoke,
and the earth will wear out like a garment.

Final:  849 God forgave my sin (Freely, freely)

God forgave my sin in Jesus' name.
I've been born again in Jesus' name
And in Jesus' name I come to you
To share his love as he told me to.

Refrain:
He said 'Freely, freely you have received;
freely, freely give.
Go in my name, and because you believe
others will know that I live.

All pow'r is giv'n in Jesus' name;
in earth and heav'n in Jesus' name;
and in Jesus' name I come to you
to share his pow'r as he told me to.

God gives us life in Jesus' name;
he lives in us in Jesus' name;
and in Jesus' name I come to you
to share his peace as he told me to.
