Entrance Hymn
Faith of our fathers
Verse 1
Faith of our fathers, living still
In spite of dungeon, fire and sword,
O how our hearts beat high with joy
Whene’er we hear that glorious word!
Faith of our fathers! holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death!
Verse 2
Our fathers, chained in prisons dark,
Were still in heart and conscience free;
And blest would be their children’s fate,
If they, like them should die for thee:
Faith of our fathers! holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death!Verse 3
Faith of our fathers, we will strive
To win all nations unto thee;
And through the truth that comes from God
Mankind shall then indeed be free.
Faith of our fathers! holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death!Verse 4
Faith of our fathers, we will love
Both friend and foe in all our strife,
And preach thee, too, as love knows how
By kindly words and virtuous life.
Faith of our fathers! holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death!
Offertory Hymn
In Bread We Bring You Lord
Verse 1
In bread we bring you Lord, our bodies 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
Lord, in thy Eucharist, take and redeem
Communion Hymn
Great is Thy Faithfulness
Verse 1
Great is thy faithfulness, O God, my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with thee.
Thou changest not, thy compassions, they fail not;
As thou hast been, thou forever wilt be.Refrain
Great is thy faithfulness,
Great is thy faithfulness,
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed thy hand hast provided;
Great is thy faithfulness,
Lord unto me.Verse 2
Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love.
