1. I will bless the Lord at all times, praise of him is always in my mouth. In the Lord my soul shall
make its boast; the humble shall hear and be glad.
2. Glorify the Lord with me; together let us praise his name. I sought the Lord, and he answered
me; from all my terrors he set me free.
3. Look toward him and be radiant; let your faces not be abashed. This lowly one called; the
Lord heard, and rescued him from all his distress.
4. The angel of the Lord is encamped around those who fear him, to rescue them. Taste and

children his righteousness, for those who keep his covenant.

darkness for the upright; he is generous, merciful, and righteous.
3. It goes well for the man who deals generously and lends, who conducts his affairs with justice.
He will never be moved; forever shall the righteous be remembered. He has no fear of evil
news.
4. With a firm heart, he trusts in the Lord. With a steadfast heart he will not fear; he will see the
downfall of his foes.
5. Openhanded, he gives to the poor; his righteousness stands firm forever. His might shall be
exalted in glory.

eat. You will be blessed and prosper.
2. Your wife like a fruitful vine in the heart of your house; your children like shoots of the live
around your table.
3. Indeed, thus shall be blessed the man who fears the Lord. May the Lord bless you from Zion
all the days of your life! May you see your children’s children.

him, all his hosts.

waters above the heavens.

and birds on the wing.
4. Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and judges of the earth, young men and maidens

alone is exalted.

Be Thou My Vision (SLANE)

1. Be Thou my vision, O 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.
2. Be Thou my wisdom, and Thou my true Word; I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord:
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son, thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
3. Riches I heed 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.
4. High King of heaven, my victory won, may I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heav'n’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall, still be my vision, O Ruler of all.

How Beautiful (Paris)

1. How beautiful the hands that served the wine and the bread and the sons of the earth. How beautiful the
feet that walked the long dusty roads and the hill to the cross
How beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful is the body of Christ
2. How beautiful the heart that bled that took all my sin and bore it instead. How beautiful the tender eyes that
chose to forgive and never despise.
How beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful is the body of Christ
3. And as He laid down His life we offer this sacrifice that we will live just as He died willing to pay the price,
willing to pay the price.
4. How beautiful the radiant bride who waits for her groom with his light in her eyes. How beautiful when humble
hearts give the fruit of pure lives so that others may live.
How beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful is the body of Christ
5. How beautiful the feet that bring the sound of good news and the love of the King. How beautiful the hands
that serve the wine and the bread and the sons of the earth.
How beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful is the body of Christ
I Am the Bread of Life (John Michael Talbot)
 I am the Bread of Life. All who eat this Bread will never die. I am God's love revealed. I am broken that you
might be healed.
 Verses:
1. All who eat of this heavenly Bread, all who drink this cup of the covenant: you will live forever, for I
will raise you up.
2. No one who comes to me shall ever hunger again. No one who believes shall ever thirst. All that the
Father draws shall come to me, and I shall give them rest.

I Am the Bread of Life (Suzanne Toolan)

 And I will raise you up, and I will raise you up, and I will raise you up on the last day.
 Verses:
1. I am the bread of life. You who come to me shall not hunger; and who believe in me shall not thirst.
No one can come to me unless the Father beckons.
2. The bread that I will give Is my flesh for the life of the world, and if you eat of this bread, you shall live
forever, you shall live forever.
3. Unless you eat of the flesh of the Son of Man and drink of his blood, and drink of his blood, you shall
not have life within you.
4. I am the resurrection; I am the life. If you believe in me, even though you die, you shall live forever.
5. Yes, Lord, we believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who has come into the world.

I Can Only Imagine (Bart Millard)

1. I can only imagine what it will be like when I walk by your side. I can only imagine what my eyes will see when
your face is before me. I can only imagine.
 Surrounded by your glory, what will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you, Jesus, or in awe of you be still?
Will I stand in your presence or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing hallelujah? Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine. I can only imagine.
2. I can only imagine when that day comes and I find myself standing in the Son. I can only imagine when all I
will do is forever, forever worship you. I can only imagine. I can only imagine.

In Christ Alone (Keith Getty, Stuart Townend)

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. No guilt in life, no fear in death, this is the pow'r of Christ in me; from life's first cry to final breath, Jesus
commands my destiny. No pow'r of hell, no scheme of man, can ever pluck me from his hand; till he returns
or calls me home, here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand!

Love Came Down (Johnson, et al.)

1. If my heart is overwhelmed and I cannot hear your voice, I'll hold on to what is true though I cannot see.
If the storms of life they come and the road ahead gets steep, I will lift these hands in faith I will believe.
I’ll remind myself of all that you’ve done and the life I have because of your son.
Love came down and rescued me. Love came down and it set me free and I am yours.
I am forever yours. Mountain high or valley low. I sing out and remind my soul that I am yours.
I am forever yours.
2. When my heart is filled with hope and every promise comes my way when I feel your hands of grace rest
upon me. Staying desperate for you God, staying humbled at Your feet I will lift these hands and praise I will
believe.
Love came down and rescued me. Love came down and it set me free and I am yours.
I am forever yours. Mountain high or valley low. I sing out and remind my soul that I am yours.
I am forever yours.
Love Never Fails You (Cates, Heath)
1. Love is not proud. Love does not boast. Love after all matters the most. Love does not run. Love does not
hide. Love does not keep locked inside. Love is a river that flows through and love never fails you.
2. Love will sustain. Love will provide. Love will not cease at the end of time and love will protect. Love always
hopes and love still believes when you don’t. Love is the arms that are holding you. Love never fails you.
When my heart won’t make a sound. When I can’t turn back around. When the sky is falling down. Nothing
is greater than this, greater than this.
3. ‘Cause love is right here. Love is alive. Love is the Way, the Truth, the Life. Love is the river that flows through.
Love is the arms that are holding you and love is the place you will fly to. Love never fails you.

Oceans (Brooke Fraser)

1. You call me out upon the waters the great unknown where feet may fail and there I find You in the mystery
in oceans deep my faith will stand.
And I will call upon your name and keep my eyes above the waves. When oceans rise my soul will rest in
your embrace for I am yours and you are mine.
2. Your grace abounds in deepest waters. Your sovereign hand will be my guide. Where feet may fail and fear
surrounds me. You’ve never failed and you won’t start now.
And I will call upon your name and keep my eyes above the waves. When oceans rise my soul will rest in
your embrace for I am yours and you are mine.
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders. Let me walk upon the waters wherever you would call me.
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander and my faith will be made stronger in the presence of my
Savior.
And I will call upon your name and keep my eyes above the waves. When oceans rise my soul will rest in
your embrace for I am yours and you are mine.

Panis Angelicus (Text: Sacris solemniis, St. Thomas Aquinas; Music: Messe à trois voix by César Franck)

Latin: Panis angelicus

Fit panis hominum
Dat panis coelicus
Figuris terminum
O res mirabilis
Manducat dominum
Pauper, pauper
Servus et humilis

English: May the Bread of Angels

Become bread for mankind;
The Bread of Heaven puts
All foreshadowings to an end;
Oh, thing miraculous!
The body of the Lord will nourish
the poor, the poor,
the servile, and the humble.

Prayer to Saint Francis (Sebastian Temple)

1. Make me a channel of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me bring your love. Where there is injury, your
pardon, Lord, and where there's doubt, true faith in you.
2. Make me a channel of your peace. Where there's despair in life, let me bring hope. Where there is darkness
only light, and where there's sadness ever joy.
3. Oh Master, grant that I may never seek so much to be consoled, as to console. To be understood, as to
understand, to be loved, as to love, with all my soul.
4. Make me a channel of your peace. It is in pardoning that we are pardoned, in giving of ourselves that we
receive, and in dying that we're born to eternal life.
Servant Song (Donna Marie McGargill)
 Jesus, Jesus, you are the Lord. Jesus, Jesus, you are the way.
 Verses:
1. What do you want of me, Lord? Where do you want me to serve you? Where can I sing your praises?
I am your song.
2. I hear you call my name, Lord, and I am moved within me. Your Spirit stirs my deepest self. Sing your
songs in me.
3. Above, below, and around me, before, behind and all through me, your Spirit burns deep within me.
Fire my life with your love.
4. You are the light in my darkness. You are my strength when I'm weary. You give me sight when I'm
blinded. Come see for me.
5. I am your song and servant, singing your praise like Mary. Surrendered to your Spirit, "Let it be done
to me."

Set Me as a Seal (Maher)

 Set me as a seal on your heart. Set me as a seal on your soul for strong as death is love, unyielding as the
grave. Nothing will quench its flame
1. Verses:
1. Kiss me my love that your name be on my lips. You intoxicate my being with the fragrance
of your presence. How beautiful you are my darling. Show me your face. Let me hear your
voice sweet as the dew in early morn like a lily among the thorns.
2. I looked for you the one my heart loves. I looked for you but did not find you. Searched
through the night until I rested in your sight. Now I will never let you go because you have
stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes. Your lips so sweet adorned with honey. My
hands, they drip with myrrh.

The Supper of the Lord (Rosania)

 Precious body, precious blood seen as bread and wine; here the Lord prepares the feast divine.
Bread of love is broken now, cup of life is poured: come, share the supper of the Lord.
1. This is the bread of God coming down from heav'n giving life to us, to all the world.
2. "I am the living spring of eternal life; you that drink from me shall not thirst again."
3. "I am the bread of heav'n giving life to you; you that eat this bread shall never die."
4. "All those who feed on me have their life in me, as I have my life in the living God."
5. All praise to you, O Christ, present in this feast; in this bread, we share in one life, one Lord.

When Love is Found (O WALY WALY)

1. When love is found and hope comes home, sing and be glad that two are one. When love explodes and
fills the sky, praise God and share our Maker's joy.
2. When love has flow'red in trust and care, build both each day, that love may dare to reach beyond home's
warmth and light, to serve and strive for truth and right.
3. When love is tried as loved-ones change, hold still to hope though all seems strange, till ease returns and love
grows wise through list'ning ears and opened eyes.
4. When love is torn and trust betrayed, pray strength to love till torments fade, till lovers keep no score of wrong,
but hear through pain love's Easter song.
5. Praise God for love, praise God for life, in age or youth, in husband, wife. Lift up your hearts, let love be fed
through death and life in broken bread.

Wherever You Go (Norbet)

1. Wherever you go I shall go. Wherever you live so shall I live. Your people will be my people, and your God
will be my God too.
2. Wherever you die I shall die, and there shall I be buried beside you. We will be together forever, and our love
will be the gift of our life.

Your Love is Extravagant (Evans)

1. Your love is extravagant. Your friendship is intimate. I find I’m moving to the rhythms of your grace. Your
fragrance is intoxicating in our secret place. Your love is extravagant.
Spread wide in the arms of Christ is the love that covers sin. No greater love have I ever known.
You considered me a friend. Capture my heart again.
 FLOWERS TO MARY

Hail Mary, Gentle Woman (Carey Landry)

 Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women and blest is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of death.
Amen.
 Gentle woman, quiet light, morning star, so strong and bright, gentle Mother, peaceful dove, teach us
wisdom; teach us love.
 Verses:
1. You were chosen by the Father; you were chosen for the Son.
You were chosen from all women and for woman, shining one.
2. Blessed are you among women, blest in turn all women, too.
Blessed they with peaceful spirits. Blessed they with gentle hearts.

Holy is His Name (Joncas)

1. My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, and my spirit exalts in God my Savior. For he has looked with
mercy on my lowliness, and my name will be forever exalted. For the mighty God has done great things for
me, and his mercy will reach from age to age.
And holy, holy, holy is his name
2. He has mercy in ev’ry generation. He has revealed his power and his glory. He has cast down the mighty in
their arrogance, and has lifted up the meek and the lowly. He has come to help his servant Israel; he
remembers his promise to our fathers.
