English Melody Morning Has Broken Eleanor Farjeon; BUNESSAN

Amazing Grace (Traditional) 1. Amazing grace! How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found, was blind but now I see. 2. T'was grace that taught my heart to fear. And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed! 3. The Lord has promised good to me; his word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be as long as life endures. 4. Through many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come; ‘Tis grace that brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home. 5. When we’ve been there ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun, we’ve no less days to sing God’s praise than when we’d first begun.

Be Not Afraid (Bob Dufford)  Be not afraid. I go before you always. Come follow me, and I will give you rest. o Verses: 1. 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. 2. If you pass through 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 pow'r of hell and death is at your side, know that I am with you through it all. 3. Blessed are your poor, for the kingdom shall be theirs. Blest 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!

Be Still, My Soul (Katharina von Schlegel; Jean Sibelius) 1. Be still, my soul; the Lord is on thy side; Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain; Leave to thy God to order and provide; In every change He faithful will remain. Be still, my soul; thy best, thy heavenly, Friend through thorny ways leads to a joyful end. 2. Be still, my soul; thy God doth undertake to guide the future as He has the past. Thy hope, thy confidence, let nothing shake; All now mysterious shall be bright at last. Be still, my soul; the waves and winds still know his voice who ruled them while He dwelt below. 3. Be still, my soul; the hour is hastening on when we shall be forever with the Lord, When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone, sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored. Be still, my soul; when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last.

Glory and Praise to Our God (Dan Schutte)  Glory and praise to our God, who alone gives light to our days. Many are the blessings he bears to those who trust in his ways. o Verses: 1. We, the daughters and sons of him who built the valleys and plains, praise the wonders our God has done in ev’ry heart that sings. 2. In his wisdom he strengthens us, like gold that’s tested in fire. Though the power of sin prevails, our God is there to save. 3. Ev’ry moment of ev’ry day our God is waiting to save, always ready to seek the lost, to answer those who pray. 4. God has watered our barren land and spent his merciful rain. Now the rivers of life run full for anyone to drink.

Here I Am (Tom Booth)  Here I am, standing right beside you. Here I am; do not be afraid. Here I am, waiting like a lover. I am here; here I am. 1. Do not fear when the tempter calls you. Do not fear even though you fall. Do not fear, I have conquered evil. Do not fear; never be afraid. 2. I am here in the face of ev’ry child. I am here in ev’ry warm embrace. I am here with tenderness and mercy. Here I am; I am here. 3. I am here in the midst of ev’ry trial. I am here in the face of despair. I am here when pardoning your brother. Here I am; I am here.

Here I Am, Lord (Dan Schutte)  Here I am Lord, Is it I Lord? I have heard You calling in the night. I will go Lord, if You lead me. I will hold Your people in my heart. o Verses: 1. I, the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard my people cry. All who dwell in dark and sin, my hand will save. I, who made the stars of night, I will make their darkness bright. Who will bear My light to them? Whom shall I send? 2. I, the Lord of snow and rain, I have borne my peoples pain. I have wept for love of them, they turn away. I will break their hearts of stone, give them hearts for love alone. I will speak My word to them. Whom shall I send? 3. I, the Lord of wind and flame, I will tend the poor and lame. I will set a feast for them, my hand will save. Finest bread I will provide, till their hearts be satisfied. I will give My life to them, whom shall I send?

How Great Thou Art (Stuart Hine)  Then sings my soul, my savior God to thee; how great thou art, how great thou art! o Verses: 1. O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder consider all the worlds thy hands have made. I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, thy pow'r throughout the universe displayed; 2. When through the woods and forest glades I wander, and hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees; When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur and hear the brook, and feel the gentle breeze; 3. And when I think that God, his Son not sparing, sent him to die, I scarce can take it in, that on the cross, my burden gladly bearing, he bled and died to take away my sin; 4. 4. When Christ shall come with shouts of acclamation and take me home, what joy shall fill my heart! Then I shall bow in humble adoration, and there proclaim, my God, how great thou art!

I Heard the Voice of Jesus (Bonar; Kingsfold, trad. English Melody) 1. I heard the voice of Jesus say, "Come unto me and rest; Lay down, thou weary one, lay down thy head upon my breast." I came to Jesus as I was, so weary, worn, and sad; I found in him a resting place, and he has made me glad. 2. I heard the voice of Jesus say, "Behold, I freely give the living water; thirsty one, stoop down, and drink, and live." I came to Jesus, and I drank of that life-giving stream; My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, and now I live in him. 3. I heard the voice of Jesus say, "I am this dark world's light; look unto me, thy morn shall rise, and all thy day be bright." I looked to Jesus, and I found in him my star, my sun; and in that light of life I'll walk till trav'ling days are done.

Morning Has Broken (Eleanor Farjeon; Bunessan) 1. Morning has broken like the first morning; blackbird has spoken like the first bird. Praise for the singing! Praise for the morning! Praise for them springing fresh from the Word! 2. Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven, like the first dewfall on the first grass. Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden, sprung in completeness where his feet pass. 3. Mine is the sunlight! Mine is the morning born of the one light Eden saw play! Praise with elation, praise ev'ry morning, God's recreation of the new day!

In verdant pastures he gives me repose; Beside restful waters he leads me: he refreshes my soul. He guides me in right paths for his name’s sake. o He guides me in right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk in the dark valley I fear no evil; for you are at my side with your rod and your staff that give me courage. o You spread the table before me in the sight of my foes; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. o Only goodness and kindness follow me all the days of my life; And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord for years to come.

D2: Psalm 25  To you, O Lord, I lift my soul.  Verses: o Remember that your compassion, O Lord, and your kindness are from of old. In your kindness remember me, because of your goodness, O Lord. o Relieve the troubles of my heart; and bring me out of my distress. Put an end of my affliction and my suffering; and take away all my sins. o Preserve my life and rescue me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you. Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for you, O Lord.

D3: Psalm 27  The Lord is my light and my salvation  Verses: o The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom should I fear? The Lord is my life’s refuge; of whom should I be afraid? o One thing I ask of the Lord; this I seek: To dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. That I may gaze on the loveliness of the Lord and contemplate his temple. o Hear, O Lord, the sound of my call; have pity on me, and answer me. Your presence, O Lord, I seek. Hide not your face from me. o I believe that I shall see the bounty of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord with courage; be stouthearted, and wait for the Lord. D4: Psalm 42  My soul is thirsting for you the living God: when shall I see him face to face? OR  As the deer longs, for running streams, so I long for you  Verses: o As the hind longs for the running waters, so my soul longs for you, O God. o A thirst is my soul for God, the living God. When shall I go and behold the face of God? o I went with the throng and led them in procession to the house of God. Amid loud cries of joy and thanksgiving, with the multitude keeping festival. o Send forth your light and your fidelity; they shall lead me on And bring me to your holy mountain, to your dwelling-place. o Then will I go in to the altar of God, the God of my gladness and joy; Then will I give you thanks upon the harp, O God, my God! o Why are you so downcast, O my soul?

D5: Psalm 63  My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.  Verses: o O God, you are my God whom I seek; for you my flesh pines and my soul thirsts like the earth, parched, lifeless and without water. o Thus have I gazed toward you in the sanctuary to see your power and your glory, for your kindness is a greater good than life; my lips shall glorify you. o Thus will I bless you while I live; lifting up my hands, I will call upon your name. As with the riches of a banquet shall my soul be satisfied, and with exultant lips my mouth shall praise you. o You are my help, and in the shadow of your wings I shout for joy. My soul clings fast to you; your right hand upholds me.

D6: Psalm 103  The Lord is kind and merciful  Verses: o Merciful and gracious is the Lord, slow to anger, and abounding in kindness. Not according to our sins does he deal with us, nor does he requite us according to our crimes. o As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him. For he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust. o Man’s days are like those of grass; like a flower of the field he blooms; The wind sweeps over him and he is gone, and his place knows him no more. o But the kindness of the Lord is from eternity, to eternity toward those who fear him, and his justice toward children’s children among those who keep his covenant and remember to fulfill his precepts.

According to the decree for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the Lord. In it are set up judgment seats, seats for the house of David. o Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! May those who love you prosper! May peace be within your walls, prosperity in your buildings. o Because of my relatives and friends, I will say “Peace be within you!” Because of the house of the Lord, our God, I will pray for your good.

D9: Psalm 130  Out of the depths, I cry to you, Lord. OR  I hope in the Lord; I trust in his word.  Verses: o Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord; Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to my voice in supplication. o If you, O Lord, mark iniquities, Lord, who can stand? But with you is forgiveness, that you may be revered. o I trust in the Lord; my soul trusts in his word. My soul waits for the Lord more than the sentinels wait for the dawn. o More than the sentinels wait for the dawn, let Israel wait for the Lord, for with the Lord is kindness and with him is plenteous redemption. o And he will redeem Israel from all their iniquities. D10: Psalm 143  O Lord, hear my prayer  Verses: o O Lord, hear my prayer; hearken to my pleading in your faithfulness; in your justice answer me. And enter not into judgment with your servant, for before you no loving man is just. o I remember the days of old; I meditate on all your doings; the works of your hands I ponder. I stretch out my hands to you; my soul thirsts for you like parched land. o Hasten to answer me, O Lord; for my spirit fails me. At dawn let me hear of your mercy, for in you I trust. o Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your good spirit guide me on level ground.

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?

I can only imagine when all I will do is forever, forever worship you. I can only imagine. I can only imagine.

I Will Rise (Louie Giglio, Matt Maher, Jesse Reeves, Chris Tomlin)  Jesus has overcome and the grave is overwhelmed. The victory is won. He is risen from the dead. I will rise when He calls my name. No more sorrow no more pain. I will rise on eagle's wings Before my God fall on my knees and rise I will rise. 1. There's a peace I've come to know though my heart and flesh may fail there's an anchor for my soul. I can say it is well. 2. There's a day that's drawing near when this darkness breaks to light and the shadows disappear and my faith shall be my eyes. 3. And I hear the voice of many angels sing. Worthy is the Lamb. And I hear the cry of ev'ry longing heart. Worthy is the Lamb.

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!

In Every Age (Janet Sullivan Whitaker)  In every age, O god, you have been our refuge. In every age, O god, you have been our hope.  Verses: 1. Long before the mountains came to be and the land and sea and stars of the night, through the endless seasons of all time, you have always been, you will always be. 2. Destiny is cast, and at your silent word we return to dust and scatter to the wind. A thousand years are like a single moment gone, as the light that fades at the end of day. 3. Teach us to make use of the time we have. Teach us to be patient even as we wait. Teach us to embrace our ev'ry joy and pain. To sleep peacefully, and to rise up strong.

On Eagle’s Wings (Michael Joncas)  And he will raise you up on eagles’ wings, bear you on the breath of dawn, make you to shine like the sun, and hold you in the palm of his hand.  Verses: 1. You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord, who abide in his shadow for life, say to the Lord: "My refuge, my rock in whom I trust!" 2. The snare of the fowler will never capture you, and famine will bring you no fear: under his wings your refuge, his faithfulness your shield. 3. You need not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day; though thousands fall about you, near you it shall not come. 4. For to his angels he's given a command to guard you in all of your ways; upon their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.

Only in God (John Michael Talbot)  My stronghold, my Savior, I shall not be afraid at all. My stronghold, my Savior, I shall not be moved.  Verses: 1. Only in God is my soul at rest, in him comes my salvation. He only is my rock, my strength and my salvation. 2. Only in God is found safety when my enemy pursues me. Only in God is found glory when I am found meek and found lowly.

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.

Remember Your Love (Gary Daigle, Darryl Ducote)  Remember your love and your faithfulness, O Lord. Remember your people and have mercy on us, Lord. 1. The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom should I fear? The Lord is my life and my refuge, when I call God hears. 2. If you dwelt, O Lord, upon our sinfulness, then who could stand? But with you there is mercy and forgiveness and a guiding hand. 3. O Lord, hear the sound of my call and answer me. My heart cries out for Your presence; it is You I seek. 4. As sentinels wait upon the daylight, wait for the Lord. I trust in your kindness and redemption; and your faithful word. 5. Before all the mountains were begotten and earth took shape, even then, O Lord, you were our refuge throughout ev'ry age.

Seek Ye First (Karen Lafferty) 1. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. Allelu, alleluia. 2. Ask, and it shall be given unto you. Seek, and ye shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Allelu, alleluia. 3. You do not live by bread alone, but by ev’ry word that proceeds from the mouth of God. Allelu, alleluia.

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."

Shelter Me, O God (Bob Hurd)  Shelter me, O God; hide me in the shadow of your wings. You alone are my hope.  Verses: 1. When my foes surround me, set me high above their reach. Hear me when I call your name. 2. As a mother gathers her young beneath her care, gather me into your arms. 3. Though I walk in darkness, through the needle’s eye of death, you will never leave my side.

Song of Farewell (Ernest Sands)  May the choirs of angels come to greet you. May they speed you to paradise. May the Lord enfold you in his mercy. May you find eternal life.  Verses: 1. The Lord is my light and my help; it is he who protects me from harm. The Lord is the strength of my days; before whom should I tremble with fear? 2. There is one thing I ask of the Lord; that he grant me my heartfelt desire. To dwell in the courts of our God ev'ry day of my life in his presence. 3. O Lord, hear my voice when I cry; have mercy on me and give answer. Do not cast me away in your anger, for you are the God of my help. 4. I am sure I shall see the Lord’s goodness; I shall dwell in the land of the living. Hope in God, stand firm and take heart, place all your trust in the Lord.

The Cry of the Poor (John Foley)  The Lord hears the cry of the poor. Blessed be the Lord.  Verses: 1. I will bless the Lord at all times, with praise ever in my mouth. Let my soul glory in the Lord, who will hear the cry of the poor. 2. Let the lowly hear and be glad: The Lord listens to their pleas; and to hearts broken, God is near, who will hear the cry of the poor. 3. Ev’ry spirit crushed, God will save; will be ransom for their lives; will be safe shelter for their fears, and will hear the cry of the poor. 4. We proclaim your greatness, O God, your praise ever in our mouth; ev’ry face brightened in your light, for you hear the cry of the poor.

Turn to Me (John Foley)  Turn to me, O turn and be saved, says the Lord, for I am God; there is no other, none beside me, I call your name.  Verses: 1. I am God, who comforts you; who are you to be afraid of flesh that fades, is made like the grass of the field, soon to wither. 2. Listen to me, my people; give ear to me, my nation: a law will go forth from me, and my justice for a light to the people. 3. Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look at the earth down below. The heavens will vanish like smoke, and the earth will wear out like a garment.

Ubi Caritas (Bob Hurd)  Ubi caritas est vera, est vera: Deus ibi est, Deus ibi est (Where there is true charity, God is present.)  Verses: 1. The love of Christ joins us together. Let us rejoice in him, and in our love and care for all now love God in return. 2. In true communion let us gather. May all divisions cease and in their place be Christ the Lord, our risen Prince of Peace. 3. May we who gather at this table to share the bread of life become a sacrament of love, your healing touch, O Christ. 4. For those in need make us your mercy, for those oppressed, your might. Make us, your Church, a holy sign of justice and new life. 5. May we one day behold your glory and see you face to face, rejoicing with the saints of God to sing eternal praise.

Unless a Grain of Wheat (Bernadette Farrell)  Unless a grain of wheat shall fall upon the ground and die, it remains but a single grain with no life.  Verses: 1. If we have died with him, then we shall live with him; if we hold firm, we shall reign with him. 2. If anyone serves me, then they must follow me; wherever I am, my servants will be. 3. Make your home in me as I make mine in you; those who remain in me bear much fruit. 4. If you remain in me and my word lives in you; then you will be my disciples. 5. Those who love me are loved by my Father; we shall be with them and dwell in them. 6. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; peace which the world cannot give is my gift.

You Are Near (Dan Schutte)  O Lord, I know you are near, standing always at my side. You guard me from the foe, and you lead me in ways everlasting.  Verses: 1. Lord, you have searched my heart, and you know when I sit and when I stand. Your hand is upon me protecting me from death, keeping me from harm. 2. Where can I run from your love? If I climb to the heavens you are there; If I fly to the sunrise or sail beyond the sea, still I'd find you there. 3. You know my heart and its ways, you who formed me before I was born in the secret of darkness before I saw the sun in my mother's womb. 4. Marvelous to me are your works; how profound are your thoughts, my Lord. Even if I could count them, they number as the stars, you would still be there.

You Raise Me Up (Brendan Graham, Rolf Lovland)  You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains. You raise me up to walk on stormy seas. I am strong when I am on your shoulders. You raise me up to more than I can be.  Verses: 1. When I am down, and, oh, my soul, so weary. When troubles come, and my heart burdened be. Then, I am still and wait here in the silence until you come and sit awhile with me. 2. There is no life no life without its hunger. Each restless heart beats so imperfectly. But when You come and I am filled with wonder. Sometimes I think I glimpse eternity.

God mend thine every flaw, confirm thy soul in self-control, thy liberty in law! 3. O beautiful for heroes proved in liberating strife, who more than self their country loved, and mercy more than life! America! America! May God thy gold refine, till all success be nobleness, and ev'ry gain divine! 4. O beautiful for patriot dream that sees beyond the years thine alabaster cities gleam, undimmed by human tears! America! America! God shed his grace on thee, and crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea!

City of God (Dan Schutte)  Let us build the city of God. May our tears be turned into dancing! For the Lord, our light and our love, has turned the night into day!  Verses: 1. Awake from your slumber! Arise from your 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. 2. We are sons of the morning; we are daughters of day. The One who has 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. 3. 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. 4. O city of gladness, now lift up your voice! Proclaim the good tidings that all may rejoice!

Eternal Father, Strong to Save (Robert Spencer, William Whiting- NAVY HYMN) 1. Eternal Father, strong to save, whose arm hath bound the restless wave, who bids the mighty ocean deep its own appointed limits keep; O hear us when we raise our plea for those in peril on the sea. 2. O Christ, the Lord of hill and plain o'er which our traffic runs amain by mountain pass or valley low; wherever, Lord, your loved ones go, protect them by your guarding hand from ev'ry peril on the land. 3. O Spirit, whom the Father sent to spread abroad the firmament; O Wind of heaven, by your might save all who dare the eagle's flight, and keep them by your watchful care from ev'ry peril in the air. 4. O Trinity of love and pow'r, your children shield in danger's hour; from rock and tempest, fire and foe, protect them wheresoe'er they go; and then shall rise with voices free glad praise from air and land and sea.

Go in Peace (Sarah Hart, Dwight Liles)  Go in peace, God be with you. Go in peace, be at rest with the saints and the angels. Now you are free. Go in peace. 1. There will be no more darkness. There is no more night, no more night. There will be no more sadness, only joy and light, joy and light. Lift your eyes beyond the hills and see the dawn. There is beautiful mercy in the arms of the holy one. 2. See the Father is waiting with a robe of white, purest white. Go and feast at his table with the bread of life, bread of life. Lift your heart, rejoice and sing for you are home; home at last and forever in the arms of the holy one.

Holy God We Praise Thy Name (GROSSER GOTT) 1. Holy God, we praise thy name; Lord of all, we bow before thee! All on earth thy scepter claim, all in heav'n above adore thee; Infinite, thy vast domain, everlasting is thy reign. Infinite, thy vast domain, everlasting is thy reign. 2. Hark! the loud celestial hymn angel choirs above are raising; Cherubim and seraphim, in unceasing chorus praising; fill the heav'ns with sweet accord: "Holy, holy, holy Lord!" Fill the heav'ns with sweet accord: "Holy, holy, holy Lord!" 3. Holy Father, Holy Son, Holy Spirit: Three we name thee, while in essence only One, undivided God we claim thee; And adoring, bend the knee while we own the mystery. And adoring, bend the knee while we own the mystery.

Joyful, Joyful (Beethoven, Henry van Dyke) 1. Joyful, joyful, we adore thee, God of glory, Lord of love; hearts unfold like flow’rs before thee, p’ning to the sun above. Melt the clouds of sin and sadness; drive the dark of doubt away; Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the light of day. 2. All thy works with joy surround thee, earth and heav’n reflect thy rays, stars and angels sing around thee, center of unbroken praise; field and forest, vale and mountain, flow’ry meadow, flashing sea, chanting bird and flowing fountain, call us to rejoice in thee. 3. Thou art giving and forgiving, ever blessing, ever blest, wellspring of the joy of living, ocean depth of happy rest! Thou our Father, Christ our brother, all who live in love are thine; teach us how to love each other, lift us to the joy divine. 4. Mortals, join the mighty chorus, which the morning stars began; love divine is reigning o’er us, binding all within its span. Ever singing, march we onward, victors in the midst of strife, joyful music leads us sunward, in the triumph song of life.

Let There Be Peace on Earth (Sy Miller, Jill Jackson)  Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me. Let there be peace on earth, the peace that was meant to be.

With ev'ry step I take let this be my solemn vow; to take each moment and live each moment in peace eternally. Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.

O Loving God (Text: Paulette McCoy; LONDONDERRY) 1. O loving God, we send our loved one home to you, home to a place of everlasting love, to join there with the angel choirs and blessed saints, and to behold your glorious holy face. Receive their soul and let eternal light shine, eternal light forever on their souls, so they may be forever in your dwelling place, and be at rest in peace until we meet them there. 2. O loving God, have mercy and forgiveness upon your servants' now departed souls, and may your grace and love enfold them evermore, so they may dwell in paradise at last. Receive their souls and let eternal light shine, eternal light forever on their souls, so they may be forever in your dwelling place, and be at rest in peace until we meet them there.
