Hymns

All to Jesus I surrender,
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.

I surrender all,
I surrender all,
All to thee, my blessed Savior,
I surrender all.

All to Jesus I surrender,
Lord I want to follow Thee;
Lose my life that I may save it,
Through thy cross gain victory.

All to Jesus I surrender;
born of Mary, God’s own Son;
Through this Eucharistic banquet,
Make me Jesus with Thee one.

All to Jesus I surrender,
May I see thee in the poor;
In the fight against oppression,
Let me never Thee ignore.

All to Jesus I surrender,
take me to Thy Father’s side;
Let me feel Thy Holy Spirit,
Truly know that He’s my guide.

Be glad, O people of the earth!
Lift up your heart with song and dance,
for I am with you, yes within you, forever:
you are the heart of my heart.

I will never forget you, O my people;
on the day of anguish I will answer you.
As you join in celebration,
my joy will move among you. Chorus

You shall find a land to be your home,
where sheep and cattle may freely roam,
mountains from which springs
shall flow with living waters. Chorus

I will make your faith burn brightly,
so that others may find life’s fullness:
freedom for all captives
and justice for all nations. Chorus

Come and be filled as you sit at my table 
Quenching your thirst as you drink of my wine 
Bringing the memory of my dying and rising 
Into your bloodstream which is mingled with mine. 

This is the bread that has come down from heaven, 
This is my blood for the life of the world. 

He leads us out of the power of darkness 
And brings us safe to the kingdom of life. 

No longer have I, but now Christ lived within me, 
I live by faith in the Son of God. 

Those in Christ Jesus will have no condemnation 
He sets them free through the Spirit he sends. 

Thus shall the world know you are my disciples, 
If you can love, and if you can forgive.

Come and save us, O lord, with power and might.
Maranatha, Come, o Lord!

I will sing to my God never ceasing
All my life I will tell of his wonders
He’s the maker of all earth and heaven
Of the oceans, the seas and all they hold Chorus

The Almighty is faithful forever
He is just to the poor and the outraged
It is he who gives bread to the hungry
Who delivers the captives from their chains. Chorus

He gives sight to the blind in his mercy
And he raises the lowly, the humble
It is he who gives shelter to strangers
Every orphan and widow he defends. Chorus

To the just he is gracious and loving.
But the wicked he foils and they stumble.
Yes, the Lord reigns forever and ever,
He is king over Sion without end.

Come back to me with all your heart
Don’t let fear keep us apart
Trees do bend though straight and tall
So must we to others call

Long have I waited for Your coming home to me
And living deeply our new life

The wilderness will lead you
To the place where I will speak
Integrity and justice
With tenderness You shall know.

You shall sleep secure with peace,
Faithfulness will be your joy.

Greater Love and Friendship has no man than this
That he die for others, give his life for all.
No more are you servants; I have called you friends,
All my Father told me, I made known to you

Without you I am nothing, my weakness needs your strength,
So speak, Lord, to your servants, I’m waiting for your word

Go and build my kingdom, pluck up and break down,
Speak what I command you; I shall be with you,
No you did not choose me , I appointed you.
Go bear fruit in plenty, fruit that should abide.

Have you seen my people, have you heard their cry?
Do you know their suffering? Can you let them die?
Break the unjust fetter, set the captive free,
Share bread with the hungry, make the blind to see.

Hail, Queen of Heaven, the ocean Star,
Guide of the wanderer here below,
Thrown on life's surge, we claim thy care:
Save us from peril and from woe.
Mother of Christ, star of the sea,
Pray for the wanderer, pray for me.

O gentle, chaste and spotless Maid,
From sin's domain God kept thee free,
Plead with thy Son, for He has paid
The price of our iniquity.
Virgin most pure, star of the sea,
Pray for the sinner, pray for me.

And while to Him who reigns above,
In Godhead One, in Persons Three,
The source of life, of grace and love,
Homage we pay on bended knee.
Mother and Queen, star of the sea,
Pray for thy children, pray for me.

Happy are the poor in spirit: 
They are children of the kingdom. 
Blessed the pure of heart for they shall see 
The glory of the Lord. 
Happy those who mourn in sorrow: 
For the Lord will send them comfort. 
Blessed those who thirst for holiness 
For they shall drink and have their fill. 

Rejoice, rejoice and be gladsome. 
Exult, exult leap for joy. 
Your reward is great in heaven: 
Be gladsome and rejoice! 

Happy are the meek and humble: 
Yes, the earth they will inherit. 
Blest the merciful for God will grant 
His mercy to them all. 
Happy, happy the peacemakers: 
For they live as God's own children.
Blessed those who work for justice: 
The kingdom of heaven is theirs.

Here I am, Lord, I come to do your will
Make of me what pleases you. Here I am, here I am, Lord.

You spoke my name and beckoned me to come 
Before you, now I stand to listen to Your Word

You have the words of everlasting life
If I should turn from you, to whom would I go?

How great it is to stand amid your glory  
And let me always stay in your presence, oh, God.

Show me the path that you would have me walk 
And give me grace to do what is good in your sight.  

I’ll turn my steps to the altar of God,
I’ll turn my steps to the gladness of my life.

Show Your justice in pleading my cause,
Let me walk in the way of Your love.

Lead me on with Your power and strength
And my courage will never be spent.

Fill my heart with Your truth and Your light
As I enter with joy in Your sight.

Holy praises to God I will sing.
I will trust and will hope in my King.

Glory be to the Father and Son
And the Spirit while ages are run.

In His days peace and justice shall prevail (x2)
0 God give your judgement to the king, 
To a king's Son your justice, 
That he may judge your people in justice 
And your poor in right judgement.

 In his days justice shall flourish 
And peace till the moon fails, 
He shall rule from sea to sea, 
From the great river to earth's bounds. 

He shall save the poor when they cry 
And the needy who are helpless. 
He will have pity on the weak, 
And save the lives of the oppressed. 
He is Lord, he is King, let him in (x2) 

The Lord's is the earth and its fullness. 
The world and all its peoples.
 It is he who set it on the seas; 
On the waters he made it firm. 

Who shall climb the mountain of the Lord? 
Who shall stand in his holy place? 
The one with clean hands and pure heart, 
Who desires not worthless things. 

They shall receive blessings from the Lord 
And reward from the God who saves them. 
Such are those who seek him, 
Seek the face of the God of Jacob.

It takes courage to answer a call
It takes courage to give your all
It takes courage to risk your name
It takes courage to be true.

It takes courage to dare
What no other will share,
To be standing alone
One whom no one will own.
To be ready to stake
for another man's sake
It takes courage to be true

It takes courage to say
What you know will not pay
to give each one his share
Through there'll be less to spare
To be speaking no more
Than the neighbour next door,
It takes courage to be true.

It takes courage to leave
What good fortune can give,
And to go to a land
where the poor need a hand
To be spending one's days
In less leisurely ways
It takes courage to be true.

Make me a servant, humble and meek.
Lord, let me lift up those who are weak,
And may the prayer of my heart always be:
Make me a servant (x2)
Make me a servant today!

Even though You were in the form of God,
You took the form of a slave.
You accepted death even on a cross,
So God exalted Your name.

Ere You formed me in my mother’s womb,
You called me by my name.
And you touched my mouth and appointed me
A prophet to the world

May I heal the sick and the crippled bind,
Bring back the sheep that stray.
May I seek the lost and the weak made strong,
With justice feed the poor.

Mercy Lord, we have sinned, listen to our plea.
Mercy Lord we have sinned, answer now our prayer

We have turned from the poor, let the hungry die.
We neglect the oppressed, we ignore their cry.
Now’s the time, now’s the day, turn back to your God,
Tear your hearts, cry to him.

We confess, we detest our disunity
We have lived for ourselves, failed in Charity.
Banish, Lord, from our hearts bitterness and pain
Cleanse us, Lord heal our lives with your spirit’s flame.

O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good (3)
Yes, eternal is his love.

I will sing to my God never ceasing
All my life I will tell of his wonders
He’s the maker of all earth and heaven
Of the oceans, the seas and all they hold Chorus

The Almighty is faithful forever
He is just to the poor and the outraged
It is he who gives bread to the hungry
Who delivers the captives from their chains. Chorus

He gives sight to the blind in his mercy
And he raises the lowly, the humble
It is he who gives shelter to strangers
Every orphan and widow he defends. Chorus

To the just he is gracious and loving.
But the wicked he foils and they stumble.
Yes, the Lord reigns forever and ever,
He is king over Sion without end.

O Lord , I’m not worthy
Yet you come to live in me.
So speak your word of comfort,
By your touch strengthen and heal me.

Take this and eat my body.
And drink my saving blood,
Poured out for your redemption;
A symbol of my love.

Called to be God’s new people,
Made one in Christ the Lord,
Let us with hearts united
Bear witness of your love.

Open our eyes, Lord, We want to see Jesus,
To reach out and touch Him, and say that we love Him.

Open our ears, Lord, and help us to listen
Open our eyes, Lord, we want to see Jesus.

Open our lips, Lord, and help us to praise all your marvels
To scatter the good seed and speak up for justice.

Open our hands, Lord, to reach out to others,
Open our minds, Lord, to lean from your spirit.

The world stands in need of liberation, my Lord, 
It still has to feel your power. 
The blind and the deaf, the dumb and the maimed, 
All need to feel your healing touch. 
The world stands in need of liberation my Lord, 
It still has to learn to love. 

There are those who have eyes but refuse to see
The inhumanity around.
There are those who have ears but refuse to hear
The cries of those in agony.

There are those who have mouths but refuse to speak
Against the injustice done to some.
There are those who have hands
But refuse to reach them out in love and charity.

There are those who have talents they do not use
To build a true community.
And we know that we all have the talent to love
But leave it buried in ourselves.

To follow the Lord and find freedom,
To love as he loved and bring peace,
To spend our lifetime for his kingdom,
To want it to grow and increase.

To search for the truth never ceasing.
To look for a star in the night.
To knock at the door never tiring.
To wait eagerly for his light.

To walk hand in hand with each other,
To share with the burdened their pain,
To comfort the people who suffer,
To help those in need for no gain.

To sense how oppressed are the poorest,
To struggle for justice and right,
To stand for the truth and be honest.
To die to oneself in the fight.

We shall sing your praise, O Lord,
Now and evermore, now and evermore,
We shall sing your praise.

You render justice to the poor: Yes, O Lord,
You give the hungry bread to eat: Yes, O Lord,
And from the chains the captives free,
Yes, O Lord, we shall sing your praise.

Through you the blind can see the day: Yes, O Lord,
The humble hearts are filled with hope: Yes, O Lord,
You give your blessings to the just,
Yes, O Lord, we shall sing your praise.

Your hand protects the orphan child: Yes, O Lord,
And every widow you defend: Yes, O Lord,
For us your love shall never end,
Yes, O Lord, we shall sing your praise.

What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour, still our refuge—
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.

Whatsoever you do to set your brother free,
Whatsoever you do to end his misery,
Whatsoever you do to bring him liberty,
Whatsoever you do, to  you do it unto me.
 
You see me hungry, lying on the footpath,
I need your love and care to quench your thirst,
I’m looking for some decent clothes and shelter,
O see the state I’m in, the very worst,
You’ll find me in the hospital so weary,
Imprisoned by my loneliness so great,
The victim of man’s cruel exploitation,
How can you ever leave me to my fate ? 
Chorus.
 
Perhaps you’ll help to find me some employment,
Or say a word to calm my anxious fears,
Be brave to fight with me against injustice,
Or sit by me and lend a listening ear,
At times I need a word of consolation,
The joy of seeing you standing by my side,
I promise that your love will be rewarded,
O come, you blessed and in heaven abide. 
Chorus.
Whatsoever you do to the least of my people
That you do unto me.

OR

Whatsover you do to the least of my brothers
That you do unto me.
Whatsoever you do to the least of my sisters
That you do unto me.

When I was hungry, you gave me to eat;
When I was thirsty you gave me to drink.
Now enter into the home of my Father.

When I was weary, you helped me find rest;
When I was anxious, you calmed all my fears.
Now enter into the home of my Father.

When I was homeless, you opened your door;
When I was naked, you gave me your coat.
Now enter into the home of my Father.

When in a prison, you came to my cell;
When on a sickbed, you cared for my needs.
Now enter into the home of my Father.

When I was laughed at, you stood by my side;
When I was happy, you shared in my joy.
Now enter into the home of my Father.

When I was hungry you gave me to eat, 
When I was thirsty you gave me to drink, 
When I was weary you helped me find rest; 

Come to my kingdom of love, 
Come to my kingdom of love. 

When I was homeless you opened your door, 
When I was naked you gave me your coat. 
When on a sick bed you cared for my needs. 

When I was laughed at you stood by my side; 
When I was happy, you shared in my joy. 
When I was worried you helped me find peace: 

When I was fettered you came to my cell, 
Hurt in a battle, you bound up my wounds, 
Searching for kindness, you held out your hand: 

When I was little you taught me to read, 
When I was lonely you gave me your love, 
When I was aged you brought me your smiles:

When the kindness of our God 
Was revealed in Jesus, 
With compassion and with love were we born. 
In the spirit of that love life abounds with thankfulness, 
For the gift we know in Jesus, the Christ. 

Chorus: 
May the grace of God be ever in our life; 
With a song may gratitude become our home. 
Alleluia, Alleluia. Alleluia, Alleluia.

As we look into the deep, 
Silent spaces beyond time, 
Hope is kindled bright for what we shall be. 
For in all that we have seen, 
Known and loved with eyes of faith 
Shall be woven into life never to die. 
Chorus

With the gentleness of peace, 
Born in love of God as friend, 
So much healing and forgiveness shall we know. 
And with peace is sure to come 
Such a deep, abiding joy 
Which the many deaths of life cannot dispel. 
Chorus 

In diverse and sundry ways 
Of the past did God reveal 
Something of the love in which life can thrive. 
But in Jesus did this love 
Come to fullness for all time 
And in him we are alive with spirit joy.
Chorus
