Entrance Hymn
Only in God
Verse 1
Only in God is my soul at rest
In Him comes my salvation
He only is my Rock
My strength and my salvationRefrain
My stronghold my Savior
I shall not be afraid at all
My stronghold my Savior
I shall not be moved
Offertory Hymn
Accept Almighty Father
Verse 1
Accept Almighty Father
These gifts of bread and wine
Which now the priest is offering
For us before Thy shrine
But soon the Word will make them
His Body and his Blood
The sacrifice renewing
Once offered on the rood.Verse 2
With these although unworthy,
Some offering we would make
But all we have thou gavest
Then what thou gavest take
Our hearts, our souls, our senses
We give through Mary’s hands
Who by the cross once standing
Now by the alter stands.
In Bread We Bring You Lord
Verse 1
In bread we bring you Lord, our body's' labour
In wine we offer you our spirit's grief
We do not ask you, Lord, who is my neighbor?
But stand united now, one in belief
Oh we have gladly heard, your word, your holy word
And now in answer Lord, our gifts we bring
Our selfish hearts make true, our failing faith renew
Our life belongs to you, our Lord and KingVerse 2
The bread we offer you is blessed and broken
And it becomes for us our spirit’s food
Over the cup we bring, your word is spoken
Make it your gift to us, your healing blood
Take all that daily toil, plant in our heart’s poor soil
Take all we start and spoil, each hopeful dream
The chances we have missed, the graces we resist
Lord, in thy Eucharist, take and redeem
Communion Hymn
Bread of life
Verse 1
Bread of life and cup of hope, we come as gift to you.
Change our hearts; fill us with peace.
Transform our lives anew.
Open our eyes so that we might see your presence in one another.
Your life, poured out in love today, unites us all in you.Verse 2
Loving Lord, Creator God, open our eyes to seethe good that lives in each of us,
that called the world to be.
And when we fail to see the good,
when friendships falter and crumble,
give us the courage to forgive
that we may live in peace.Verse 3
Living Word, O Son of God,
your love shows us the way that we may live in harmony,
and from you never stray.
Wipe all oppression from our midst;
give us a love for all people.
Your song of justice sing in us,
to live for peace today.
