Refrain: 
Deep within, I will plant my law, 
not on stone, but in your heart. 
Follow me; I will bring you back. 
You will be my own, and I will be your God.


1. I will give you a new heart, a new spirit within you, 
for I will be your strength.


2. Seek my face, and see your God, 
for I will be your hope.


3. Return to me, with all your heart, 
and I will bring you back.


GLORIA      (none)


Resp. Psalm  980 Your words are Spirit and life
http://www.spiritandsong.com/compositions/10406  


Refrain:
Your words are spirit and life, O Lord:
richer than gold, stronger than death.
Your words are spirit and life, O Lord;
life everlasting.


1. God’s law is perfect, refreshing the soul,
reviving the weary spirit.
God’s rule can be trusted: bringing us wisdom,
bringing God’s wisdom to birth.


2. God’s precepts keep us; their purpose is right.
They gladden the hearts of people.
God’s command is so clear it brings us new vision;
bringing God’s light to our eyes.


3. Living by God’s truth is holy and sure;
God’s presence is everlasting.
God’s truth is eternal, bringing us justice;
bringing God’s justice to earth.


4. God’s word is precious, desired more than gold;
worth more than we dare imagine
and, sweeter than honey, this word will feed us,
bringing fulfilment and joy.


Gospel Acc  200 Praise to you  (Farrell)
http://www.ocp.org/compositions/1478


Praise to you, O Christ, our Saviour, 
Word of the Father, calling us to life; 
Son of God who leads us to freedom: 
glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ!



Offertory  872 My God accept my heart
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFdjpgbf_ms


My God, accept my heart this day,
And make it wholly Thine,
That I from Thee no more may stray,
No more from Thee decline.


Before the cross of Him Who died,
Behold, I prostrate fall;
Let every sin be crucified,
And Christ be all in all.


Anoint me with Thy heavenly grace,
And seal me for Thine own,
That I may see Thy glorious face,
And worship at Thy throne.


Let every thought, and work, and word,
To Thee be ever given;
Then life shall be Thy service, Lord,
And Death the gate of Heaven.


All glory to the Father be,
All glory to the Son,
All glory, Holy Ghost, to thee,
while endless ages run.

O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Refrain:
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.
(refrain)

And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.
(refrain)

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"
(refrain)

217 Gift of Love
http://www.hymnary.org/tune/personent_hodie?tab=media (tune only)

Verse 1:
Gift of love, dawning bright,
Pierces through endless night
God of life, sharing might
all creation holding,
earth and sky enfolding

Refrain:
Gift of love, love, love; 
gift of love, love, love.
Glory be, Lord, to thee, 
God of our salvation.

Verse 2:
Thus You spoke from on high:
Choose to live or to die,
Love to give or deny.
Life and love now blending. 
Love is life unending.

Then you came on the earth, 
gift of love from your birth;
shared our life, gave us worth;
to yourself inviting, 
God with us uniting

Final Hymn:  772 Lord Jesus Christ (Living Lord)

Lord Jesus Christ you have come to us 
You are one with us, Mary's Son. 
Cleansing our souls from all their sin 
pouring Your love and goodness in 
Jesus our love for you we sing, 
living Lord.


Lord Jesus Christ now and every day 
Teach us how to pray, Son of God. 
You have commanded us to do 
this in remembrance Lord of you 
Into our lives your power breaks through, 
living Lord. 


Lord Jesus Christ, you have come to us 
Born as one with us, Mary's Son. 
Led out to die on Calvary, 
risen from death to set us free, 
living Lord Jesus help us see 
You are Lord. 


Lord Jesus Christ I would come to you 
live my life for you, Son of God. 
All your commands I know are true, 
your many gifts will make me new, 
into my life your power breaks through, 
living Lord;
