1.This day God gives me Strength of high heaven
Sun and Moon shining, Flame in my hearth
Flashing of lightning, Wind in its swiftness,
Deeps of the ocean, Firmness of earth.

2. This day God sends me Strength as my steersman,
Might to uphold me, Wisdom as guide.
Your eyes are watchful, your ears are list'ning,
Your lips are speaking, friend at my side.

3. God's way is my way, God's shield is 'round me,
God's host defends me, saving from ill.
Angels of heaven, drive from me always
All that would harm me, stand by me still.

4. Rising I thank you, mighty and strong One
King of creation, Giver of rest.
Firmly confessing Threeness of Persons
Oneness of Godhead, Trinity blest.

Offertory 360 As I Kneel Before You
http://youtu.be/Lqa3NJit2LE

As I kneel before you,
as I bow my head in prayer,
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.

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

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.

491s Memorial Acc. 1 -Mass of Creation (revised setting)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZmzLbmMfoU  start at 8:15
We proclaim your Death, O Lord,
and profess your Resurrection
until you come again, until you come again.

Lamb of God: spoken

Communion
743 All that is hidden
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3hkmFu1JCM

Cantor:
If you would follow me,
follow where life will lead:
Do not look for me among the dead,
For I am hidden in pain, risen in love;
There is no harvest without sowing of grain.

Refrain (all:)
All that is hidden will be made clear.
All that is dark now will be revealed.
What you have heard in the dark
proclaim in the light;
What you hear in whispers
proclaim from the housetops.

Cantor:
If you would honour me,
Honor the least of these:
You will not find me dressed in finery.
My Word cries out to be heard;
breaks through the world:
My Word is on your lips and lives in your heart.
(Refrain)

Choir:
If you would speak of me,
live all your life in me.
my ways are not the ways that you would choose;
my thoughts are far beyond yours,
as heaven from earth:
If you believe in me my voice will be heard.
(Refrain)

Choir:
If you would rise with me,
rise through your destiny:
do not refuse the death which brings you life,
for as the grain in the earth
must die for rebirth,
So I have planted your life deep within mine.

994  May you walk with Christ beside you (instrumental)
http://www.ocp.org/compositions/15776

Refrain:
May you walk with Christ beside you,
Saints and angels share your way.
May the Holy Spirit guide you
to the dawn of endless day.

Peace in hearth and home,
peace surround you;
peace of Christ our God
in hearts of those around you.

Light to bless your eyes,
light to lead you,
light of Christ to shine and
on your journey speed you.

Christ to hold and heal,
Christ to welcome,
Christ to bring the wanderer
home to fold and shelter.

Three to guard and shield,
Three unsleeping
Father, Son and Spirit,
rest you in their keeping.

Final  877  The Summons  (Will you come and follow me  - v 1,2,5)
http://www.spiritandsong.com/compositions/30338
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0aAkOe87mo

Will you come and follow me
If I but call your name?
Will you go where you don’t know
And never be the same?
Will you let my love be shown,
Will you let my name be known,
Will you let my life be grown
In you and you in me?

2. Will you leave yourself behind
If I but call your name?
Will you care for cruel and kind
And never be the same?
Will you risk the hostile stare
Should your life attract or scare?
Will you let me answer prayer
In you and you in me?

3. Will you let the blinded see
If I but call your name?
Will you set the pris’ners free
And never be the same?
Will you kiss the leper clean,
And do such as this unseen,
And admit to what I mean
In you and you in me?

4. Will you love the ‘you’ you hide
If I but call your name?
Will you quell the fear inside
And never be the same?
Will you use the faith you’ve found
To reshape the world around,
Through my sight and touch and sound
In you and you in me?

5. Lord, your summons echoes true
When you but call my name.
Let me turn and follow you
And never be the same.
In your company I’ll go
Where your love and footsteps show.
Thus I’ll move and live and grow
In you and you in me.
