Hymns for the Mass

Entrance Hymn

Hear O Lord

Chorus
Hear O Lord the sound of my call
Hear O Lord and have mercy
My soul is longing for the glory of you
O hear O Lord and answer me
Verse 1
Every night before I sleep
I pray my soul to take
Or else I pray that loneliness
Is gone when I awake.

Offertory Hymn

Abide With Me

Verse 1
Abide with me: fast falls the eventide;
the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.
Verse 2
I need thy presence every passing hour.
What but thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who like thyself my guide and strength can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me.
Verse 3
I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless,
ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if thou abide with me.

Communion Hymn

The Lord is my Light

Verse 1
The Lord is my light, my help, my salvation.
Why should I fear?
With God I fear no one.
God protects me all my life.
With the Lord what should I dread?
Refrain
The Lord is my light,
the Lord is my help,
the Lord is my salvation.
Verse 2
There is one thing I ask of the Lord that I long for:
all of my days with God to be dwelling,
gazing with awe at the beauty of God,
and in wonder look on God's house.

Recessional Hymn

Blest Be the Lord

Refrain
Blest be the Lord, blest be the Lord
The God of mercy, the God who saves
I shall not fear, the dark of night
Nor the arrow that flies by day
Verse 1
He will release me from the nets of all my foes
He will protect me from their wicked hands
Beneath the shadow of His wings I will rejoice
To find a dwelling place secure
