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

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 King
Verse 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

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

Restore my church

Restore my church in body and in mind
In purpose and in unity, in love for all mankind
Rebuild my walls, in ruins now they lie
While torn down from eternity, man has long stood by
A restoration from within must see the light of the day
The staining of hypocrisy must all be washed away
Restore my Church, forsaken for so long
Ridiculed and ransomed, damaged by all wrong
Restore my church so that the world may see The beauty of creation, all things in harmony
