475 Gather us in
http://youtu.be/ruaV6pmFGAM

Here in this place,
new light is streaming,
Now is the darkness vanished away,
See in this space our fears and our dreamings,
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.

PLAINCHANT GLORIA

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

Offertory 609 In bread we bring you Lord *

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.


Holy holy 576s Holy Holy  (the German Mass)

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:
Till 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.

(a capella or very light instrumentation)
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain:
(increasing volume/crescendo)
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave he rose again!
(enter instruments, Forte)
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.

Lord, You have come to the seashore
Neither searching for the rich nor the wise
desiring only that I should follow.

Refrain:
O Lord, with Your eyes set upon me,
gently smiling, You have spoken my name;
All I longed for I have found by the water.
At your side, I will seek other shores.

Lord, see my goods, my possessions;
in my boat you find no power, no wealth
Will you accept then my nets and labour?
(Refrain)

Lord, take my hands and direct them
Help me spend myself in seeking the lost
returning love for the love you gave me.
(Refrain)

Lord, as I drift on the waters
be the resting place of my restful heart
my life's companion, my friend and refuge

Comm: 
284 We walk by faith
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hk_7EUvwv8

We walk by faith, and not by sight;
no gracious words we hear
of Him who spoke as none e'er spoke;
but we believe Him near.

We may not touch his hands and side,
nor follow where he trod;
yet in his promise we rejoice;
and cry, "My Lord and God!"

Help then, O Lord, our unbelief;
and may our faith abound,
to call on you when you are near,
and seek where you are found:

that, when our life of faith is done,
in realms of clearer light
we may behold you as you are,
with full and endless sight.

We walk by faith, and not by sight;
no gracious words we hear
of Him who spoke as none e'er spoke;
but we believe Him near.


761 He is Lord
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BM6WZNiagRE

He is Lord, He is Lord.
He has risen from the dead
And He is Lord.
Ev’ry knee shall bow,
Ev’ry tongue confess
That Jesus Christ is Lord.

He is King, He is King.
He has risen from the dead
And He is King.
Ev’ry knee shall bow,
Ev’ry tongue confess
That Jesus Christ is King.

He is love, He is love.
He has risen from the dead
And He is love.
Ev’ry knee shall bow,
Ev’ry tongue confess
That Jesus Christ is love.


End:  849 God forgave my sin (Freely, freely)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFNxLlBoI8E

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.

In Christ alone my hope is found,

What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!

In Christ alone! who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save:
Till 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.

Veneration of the Cross by Ghanaian Choir

----------------------------------------------------
Opening Hymn – How Deep the Father's love for us
How deep the Father's love for us,
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
to make a wretch His treasure.

How great the pain of searing loss,
the Father turns His face away
as wounds which mar the chosen One,
Bring many sons to glory.

Behold the Man upon a cross,
my sin upon His shoulders
ashamed I hear my mocking voice,
call out among the scoffers.
It was my sin that held Him there
until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that
it is finished

I will not boast in anything
no gifts, no power no wisdom
but I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection.

Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
but this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
