Oh the word of my Lord

RESPONSORIAL PSALM

Oh the word of my Lord, deep within my being,
Oh the word of the Lord, you have filled my mind.

1. Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you through and through,
I chose you to be mine. Before you left your mother’s side
I called to you, my child, to be my sign.

2. I know that you are very young, but I will make you strong:
I’ll fill you with my word; and you will travel through the land,
fulfilling my command which you have heard.

3. And ev’rywhere you are to go my hand will follow you;
you will not be alone. In all the danger that you fear
you’ll find me very near, your words my own.

4. With all my strength you will be filled: you will destroy and build,
for that is my design. You will create and overthrow,
reap harvest I will sow: your word is mine.

Bread of Life, Truth Eternal,

COMMUNION HYMN:

Bread of Life, Truth Eternal, Broken now to set us free,
The risen Christ, his saving power,
is here in bread and wine for me.

Lord, I know I am not worthy to receive you.
You speak the words and I am healed.
Here at your table, love’s mystery,
One bread, one cup, one family,

Lord, by your cross you reconciled us to the Father.
We have only to believe.
Your sacrifice, our victory
Now by your blood we are redeemed.

Lord, you gave your people Manna in the desert.
Still you fulfil our every need.
Lord, when we hunger, Lord, when we thirst,
We come to you and we receive.

Thine be the Glory

Thine be the glory, risen, conq'ring Son;
Endless is the vict'ry, Thou o'er death hast won;
Angels in bright raiment rolled the stone away,
Kept the folded grave clothes where Thy body lay.
Thine be the glory, risen conq'ring Son,
Endless is the vict'ry, Thou o'er death hast won.

Lo! Jesus meets us, risen from the tomb;
Lovingly He greets us, scatters fear and gloom;
Let the church with gladness, hymns of triumph sing;
For her Lord now liveth, death hath lost its sting.
Thine be the glory, risen conq'ring Son,
Endless is the vict'ry, Thou o'er death hast won.

No more we doubt Thee, glorious Prince of life;
Life is naught without Thee; aid us in our strife;
Make us more than conq'rors, through Thy deathless love:
Bring us safe through Jordan to Thy home above.
Thine be the glory, risen conq'ring Son,
Endless is the vict'ry, Thou o'er death hast won.

Be Thou My Vision

Be Thou My Vision

Be thou my vision, oh Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me, save that thou art
Thou my best thought, by day or by night
Waking or sleeping, thy presence my light

Be thou my wisdon and thou my true word
I ever with thee and thou with me, Lord
Thou my great Father, and I thy true son
Thou in my dwelling, and I with thee one

Riches I need not, nor man's empty praise
Thou mine inheritance, now and always
Thou and thou only, first in my heart
High King of heaven, my treasure thou art

High King of heaven, my victory won
May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heaven's sun
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision, O ruler of all

Bless the Lord, my soul - Taize
