Hymns for the Mass

...

Holy God, we praise Thy Name

Verse 1
Holy God, we praise Thy name;
Lord of all, we bow before Thee.
All on earth Thy Scepter claim;
All in heaven above adore Thee. Infinite, Thy vast domain; Everlasting is Thy reign.
Infinite, Thy vast domain; Everlasting is Thy reign.
Verse 2
Hark, the glad celestial hymn
Angel choirs above are raising;
Cherubim and seraphim,
In unceasing chorus praising,
Fill the heavens with sweet accord:
Holy, holy, holy Lord!
Fill the heavens with sweet accord:
Holy, holy, holy Lord!

Offertory Hymn

Meekness and Majesty

Verse 1
Meekness and majesty
Manhood and deity
In perfect harmony
The Man who is God
Lord of eternity
Dwells in humanity
Kneels in humility
And washes our feet
Refrain
Oh what a mystery
Meekness and majesty
Bow down and worship
For this is your God
Verse 2
Father's pure radiance
Perfect in innocence
Yet loves obedience
To death on a cross
Suffering to give us life
Conquering through sacrifice
And as they crucified, prays "Father forgive"
Verse 3
Wisdom unsearchable
God the invisible
Love indestructible
In frailty appears
Lord of infinity
Stopping so tenderly
Lifts our humanity to the heights of His throne
Oh what a mystery
