Hymns

Abba Father, if this cup, 
cannot pass from me, 
not my will but yours be done: 
To the dregs will I drink. 

In the scroll it written stands 
That I should do your holy will.
In your law will I delight 
In the depth of my heart.

Not for sacrifice you ask; 
here is my offering an open ear,
See the holocaust I bring: 
Here am I, O Lord.

Your compassion, love and truth, 
constantly turns my death into life Lord,
Lord, your justice I proclaim 
To my friends gathered here.

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.

Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!

The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

When we've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we'd first begun.

Blessed are they who are poor in spirit,
Theirs is the Kingdom of God.
Bless us, O Lord, make us poor in spirit;
Bless us, O Lord, our God.

We are the light of the world.
May our light shine before all,
That they may see the good that we do,
And give glory to God.

Blessed are they who are meek and humble,
They will inherit the earth.
Bless us, O Lord, make us meek and humble;
Bless us, O Lord, our God.

Blessed are they who will mourn in sorrow.
They will be comforted.
Bless us, O Lord, when we share their sorrow;
Bless us, O Lord, our God.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for justice.
They will be satisfied.
Bless us, O Lord, hear our cry for justice;
Bless us, O Lord, our God.

Blessed are they who show others mercy,
They will know mercy too!
Bless us, O Lord, hear our cry for mercy;
Bless us, O Lord, our God.

Blessed the hearts that are clean and holy,
They will behold the Lord!
Bless us, O Lord, make us pure and holy;
Bless us, O Lord, our God.

Blessed are they who bring peace among you,
They are the children of God!
Bless us, O Lord, may Your peace be with us;
Bless us, O Lord, our God.

Blest those who suffer from persecution,
Theirs is the Kingdom of God.
Bless us O Lord, when they persecute us;
Bless us, O Lord, our God.

Call on the Lord while He may be found, 
Call on him while he's near. 
Call on the Lord while he may be found, 
He will wash away all your fears. 

Call on the Lord while he may be found, 
Call on him while he's near. 
Call on the Lord while he may be found, 
He will wipe away all your tears.

Cast your burden unto Jesus,
For He died to set us free,
Only trust Him, He will triumph:
Yours will be the victory.

Vast his mercy, like the ocean and his love is as the flood,
That was poured out, as our ransom, when He shed his precious blood.
chorus

Grace and pardon, mighty rivers, poured incessant from above,
Like a river, peace and justice, kissed a guilty world with love.
chorus

Of 10 lepers that were heal-ed, only one returned with praise;
When our troubles all are over, we will thank him all our days.
chorus

Come, O Lord, and set us free. 
Bring your people peace 
Come, O Lord, and set us free, 
Come, Lord Jesus, come! 

On that great day a shoot shall sprout 
From the stump of Jesse's tree. 
From ancient root new blossom rise 
For his people to see! 
The Spirit of God shall rest on him, 
Make him wise to know his word, 
A spirit of counsel and of strength 
And the fear of the Lord. 

Then shall the wolf and the lamb be friends, 
The kid and leopard play 
Peacefully calf and lion browse 
With each other that day! 
From near and far they'll seek him out, 
His dwelling shall be filled 
In all the earth no harm or pain 
When they know of His will.

Deep within my sins accuse me;
Lord, before you could I stand?
Be attentive to my pleading,
Let your love withhold your hand;
For with you is grace & pardon,
You forgive us when we err,
Now for this we come to thank you
And your holy name revere.

For the Lord my soul is waiting,
As I listen to his word.
As the watchman longs for daybreak,
So I'm longing for the Lord,
Since in him I find redemption,
Now I come to seek his face,
Even though my sins are many,
All my trust in him I place.

From the depths I call to You, O Lord,
Listen to my cry

Lord, in compassion, listen to my pleading,
Listen to my cry,
If You refuse, Lord, to forgive your people's sins,
We shall surely die.

So I am waiting, waiting for Him patiently,
Hoping in His word,
More than the watchman waiting for the dawn to come
I await the Lord.

So let us trust him, for in Him is mercy;
He the Lord, is kind.
He gives us pardon, generous redemption,
Casts our sins behind.

God of mercy and compassion, look with pity upon me
Father let me call Thee Father 'tis this child returns to Thee

Jesus Lord, I ask for mercy, let me not implore in vain
All my sins I now detest them, never will I sin again.

By my sins I have deserved death, and endless misery
Hell with all its pains and torments, for all eternity.

By my sins I have abandoned, right and claim to Heaven above
Where the Saints rejoice for ever, in a boundless sea of love.

See our Savior bleeding, dying, on the cross of Calvary
To that cross my sins have nailed Him, yet He bleeds and dies 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.

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.

Misericordias dornini In aeternum cantabo. 
In generationem et generationem 
Annuntiabo veritatem tuam in ore meo. 

Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto 
sicut erat in principio, Et nunc, et semper,
Et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

1. Sweet heart of Jesus, fount of love and mercy,
today we come, thy blessing to implore;
O touch our hearts, so cold and so ungrateful,
and make them, Lord, thine own for evermore.

Chorus:
Sweet heart of Jesus, we implore,
O make us love thee more and more.

2. Sweet heart of Jesus, make us know and love thee,
unfold to us the treasures of thy grace;
that so our hearts, from things of earth uplifted,
may long alone to gaze upon thy face.

3. Sweet heart of Jesus, make us pure and gentle,
and teach us how to do thy blessed will;
to follow close the print of thy dear footsteps,
and when we fall – sweet heart, oh, love us still.

4. Sweet heart of Jesus, bless all hearts that love thee,
and may thine own heart ever blessed be,
bless us, dear Lord, and bless the friends we cherish,
and keep us true to Mary and to thee.
Chorus: 
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases.
Your mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning,
new every morning:
great is your faithfulness, O Lord,
great is your faithfulness!

You, Lord, is good to those who wait for him,
to the soul that seeks him;
it is good that we should wait quietly
for the salvation of the Lord.
Chorus

So let us test and examine all our ways,
and return to the Lord;
let us lift up our hearts and not our hands alone
unto the lord who is in heaven.
Chorus

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 mans 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 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
