Hymns for the Mass

Entrance Hymn

How beautiful

Verse 1
How beautiful the hands that served
the wine and the bread
and the sons of the earth.
How beautiful the feet that walked
the long dusty roads
and the hills to the cross.
Refrain
How beautiful
how beautiful
how beautiful is the body of Christ.
Verse 2
How beautiful the heart that bled
that took all my sin
and bore it instead.
How beautiful the tender eyes
that chose to forgive
and never despise.

Offertory Hymn

Our God Is Here

Verse 1
Here in this time, here in this place
Here we are standing face to face
Here in our hearts, here in our lives
Our God is here
Here for the broken, here for the strong
Here in this temple, we belong
Here in our hearts, here in our lives
Our God is here
And we cry
Refrain
"Holy! Holy! Holy are you!"
We cry: "Holy! Holy! Holy and true!"
Amen, we do believe our God is here
Our God is here

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

City of God

Verse 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
Refrain
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
Verse 2
We are sons of the morning
We are daughters of day
The One who has loved us
Has brightened our way
