Awake from the slumber! Arise from the sleep,
A new day is dawning for all those who weep.
The people in darkness have seen a great light,
The lord of our longing has conquered the night.
Let us build the city of God,
May our tears be turned to dancing,
For the Lord our light and our love
Has turned the night into day!
We are sons of the morning, we are daughters of
day,
The one who loved us has brightened our way.
The Lord of all kindness has called us to be,
A light for his people to set their hearts free.
God is light; in him there is no darkness,
Let us walk in his light, his children one and all.
O comfort my people; make gentle your words,
Proclaim to my city, the day of her birth.
O city of gladness, now lift up your voice!
Proclaim the good tidings that all may rejoice.

07:30am MASS – 01st December 2018
Many gifts, many the works, One in the Lord of all. No longer strangers in Gods house,
We are fed and we are nourished
Grain for the fields, scattered and grown, By the strength of those who care,
Gather to one for all. By the strength of those who care.

COMMUNION 2: We have been gifted with each other,

E veisiga ena Misa And we are called by the Word of the Lord.
Ni cabori kemuni tiko ga To act with justice, to love tenderly,
Me sorovaka na tamata And to walk humbly with our God,
Na tamata ivalavalaca To walk humbly with our God.

Ka talei, loloma uasivi (2) We will seek and we shall find,

Koni tiko mai We will knock and the door will be opened,
Jisu kivei kemuni We will ask and it shall be given,
For we believe in the love of our God,
Meda solia na lomada We believe in the love of our God.
Vua na Turaga na Tamada
Sa guti keda meda sauma
Meda sauma na nona loloma

Sa mai tiko vakavuni

Me vota tikotiko ga yani
Na iloloma kivei ira
Kivei ira na nona tamata

REFLECTION: I LIFT UP MY SOUL

To you Yahweh I lift up my soul, O my God,
To you Yahweh I lift up my soul, O my God.

Yahweh show your ways to me,

Teach me your paths and keep me
In the ways of your truth;
For you are the God that saves me.

The Lord is so good, so holy,

Sinners find the way and in all that is right,
He guides the humble,
The poor He leads in his pathways,

All day long I hope in your goodness,

Remember your love,
The love the you promised long ago,
And the kindness that you gave from old.

RECESSIONAL: COMPANIONS OF THE JOURNEY

We are companions on the journey,
Breaking bread, and sharing life,
And in the love we bear is the hope we share,
For we believe in the love of God,
We believe in the love of our God.

No longer strangers to each other,
