Light  of the world, you  have helped us to see
that we are one people and one day we shall all be free.

Let all mortal flesh keep silence
And with fear and trembling stand
Ponder nothing worldly minded
For with blessing in His hand


Christ our God to Earth descendeth
Our full homage to demand


King of Kings yet born of Mary
As of all on Earth He stood
Lord of Lords in human nature
In the body and the blood


He will give to all the faithful
His own self for heavenly food


At His feet the six-winged Seraph
Cherubim with watchful eye
Veiled their faces to His presence
As with ceaseless voice they cry:


"Hallelujah Ha-llelujah...
Hallelujah, Lord, most High!"

Praise Him with Alleluias

In flesh He came to die in pain
On Calvary's tree.

Yet gave His life a ransom
Thus setting us free.

From death He rose, and all His foes
Shall own His Name.

To show by works of power

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 mystery
We are the old who yearn for you 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

Not in the dark of buildings confining
Not in some heaven, light-years away
But here in this place the new light is shining
Now is the Kingdom, now is the day

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.

Refrain
Come to the feast of heaven and earth!
Come to the table of plenty!
God will provide for all that we need,
here at the table of plenty.

O come and sit at my table
where saints and sinners are friends.
I wait to welcome the lost and lonely
to share the cup of my love.

O come and eat without money;
come to drink without price.
My feast of gladness will feed your spirit
with faith and fullness of life.

My bread will ever sustain you
through days of sorrow and woe.
My wine will flow like a sea of gladness
to flood the depths of your soul.

Your fields will flower in fullness;
your homes will flourish in peace.
For I, the giver of home and harvest,
will send my rain on the soil.

(performance notes & chords in email to musicians)

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.


964 Be Not Afraid 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeTpISSA5x8
http://www.spiritandsong.com/compositions/1389

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)

Final: Days of Elijah
Brooklyn tabernacle choir: (start at 1:00) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqTLsIyx3I0
Twila Paris version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWSATpx7uzk
Don Moen (I think): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5s4hkcZhfqQ

Performance Notes:
1. we won't be singing the coda: (There's no God like Jehovah)
2. For the last refrain, we'll be singing it twice. For the final repeat refrain, we'll sing a capella until last 2 lines (so lift your voice...)

These are the days of Elijah,
declaring the word of the Lord
And these are the days of Your servant Moses,
righteousness being restored

And though these are days of great trials,
of famine and darkness and sword
still we are the voice in the desert crying,
"Prepare ye the way of the Lord"

Chorus:
Behold he comes riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun at the trumpet call
So lift your voice it's the year of Jubilee
And out of Zion's hill salvation comes

And these are the days of Ezekiel,
the dry bones becoming as flesh
And these are the days of Your servant David,
rebuilding a temple of praise

And these are the days of the harvest,
the fields are white in the world
And we are Your labourers in Your vineyard,
declaring the Word of the Lord
(Repeat Chorus 2 X)

----------------
If you're interested to read what the composer has to say about this song: (courtesy of Nikhil!)
"These are the themes of the verses-declaration, righteousness, unity and worship. I chose to express these thoughts by reference to the characters that represented these virtues in the Old Testament. It is in essence a song of hope for the Church and the world in times of great trial."
