A New Commandment I give unto you,
That you love one another As I have loved you. (2)
By this shall all know that you are My disciples,
If you have love one for another. (2)
You are my friends if you do what I command you.
Without my help you can nothing. (2)
I am the true Vine, my Father is the Gardner,
Abide in me and I in you. (2)
True, Love is patient, nor arrogant, nor boastful.
Love bears all things, love is eternal. (2)
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.
All glory, praise, and honour
To you, Redeemer, King!
To whom the lips of children
Made sweet hosannas ring.
You are the King of Israel,
And David's royal Son,
Now in the Lord's Name coming,
Our King and Blessed One.
All glory, praise, and honour
To you, Redeemer, King!
To whom the lips of children
Made sweet hosannas ring.
The company of angels
Are praising you on high;
And mortals, joined with all things
Created, make reply.
All glory, praise, and honour
To you, Redeemer, King!
To whom the lips of children
Made sweet hosannas ring.
The people of the Hebrews
With palms before you went:
Our praise and prayers and anthems
Before you we present.
All glory, praise, and honour
To you, Redeemer, King!
To whom the lips of children
Made sweet hosannas ring.
To you before your passion
They sang their hymns of praise:
To you, now high exalted,
Our melody we raise.
All glory, praise, and honour
To you, Redeemer, King!
To whom the lips of children
Made sweet hosannas ring.
Their praises you accepted,
Accept the prayers we bring,
Great source of love and goodness,
Our Saviour and our King.
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.
At the cross her station keeping,
Stood the mournful Mother weeping,
Close to Jesus to the last.
Through her heart, his sorrow sharing,
All his bitter anguish bearing,
Now at length the sword has passed.
Oh, how sad and sore distressed
Was that Mother highly blest
Of the sole begotten One!
Christ above in torment hangs;
She beneath beholds the pangs
Of her dying, glorious Son.
Is there one who would not weep,
'Whelmed in miseries so deep,
Christ's dear Mother to behold?
Can the human heart refrain
From partaking in her pain,
In that Mother's pain untold?
Bruised, derided, cursed, defiled,
She beheld her tender Child,
All with bloody scourges rent.
For the sins of his own nation,
Saw him hang in desolation
Till his spirit forth he sent.
O sweet Mother! fount of love,
Touch my spirit from above,
Make my heart with yours accord.
Make me feel as you have felt;
Make my soul to glow and melt
With the love of Christ, my Lord.
Holy Mother, pierce me through,
In my heart each wound renew
Of my Savior crucified.
Let me share with you his pain,
Who for all our sins was slain,
Who for me in torments died.
Let me mingle tears with thee,
Mourning him who mourned for me,
All the days that I may live:
By the cross with you to stay,
There with you to weep and pray,
This I ask of you to give.
At the name of Jesus
Every knee shall bow,
Every tongue confess him
King of glory now:
'Tis the Father's pleasure
We should call him Lord,
Who from the beginning
Was the mighty Word.
At his voice creation
Sprang at once to sight,
All the angels faces
All the hosts of light,
Thrones and Dominations,
Stars upon their way,
All the heavenly orders,
In their great array.
Humbled for a season,
To receive a name
From the lips of sinners
Unto whom he came,
Faithfully he bore it
Spotless to the last,
Brought it back victorious,
When from death he passed:
Bore it up triumphant
With its human light,
Through all ranks of creatures,
To the central height,
To the throne of Godhead,
To the Father's breast;
Filled it with the glory
Of that perfect rest.
Name him, brothers, name him,
With love as strong as death,
But with awe and wonder
And with bated breath:
He is God the Saviour,
He is Christ the Lord,
Ever to be worshipped,
Trusted, and adored.
In your hearts enthrone him;
There let him subdue
All that is not holy,
All that is not true:
Crown him as your captain
In temptation's hour;
Let his will enfold you
In its light and power.
Brothers, this Lord Jesus
Shall return again,
With his Father's glory,
With his angel train;
For all wreaths of empire
Meet upon his brow,
And our hearts confess him
King of glory now.
Behold, behold the wood of the cross.
On which is hung our salvation.
O come let us adore him (x2).
Behold, behold the wood of the cross,
on which on hung the saviour of the world.
O come, O come and worship Lord,
O come, let us worship the Lord.
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.

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

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.

Christ Became Obedient unto death
Unto death a death upon the cross
Therefore God has raised Him to the heights
Giving Him a name above all names.
Christ Became Obedient unto death (unto death)
Unto death a death upon the cross (death upon the cross)
Therefore God has raised Him to the heights (to the heights)
Giving Him a name above all names (name above all names).
Christ became obedient unto death,
unto death, a death upon the Cross.
Therefore God raised him to the heights,
Giving Him a name above all names.
Christ heard the twelve disputing about the highest seat;
He took a bowl of water and knelt to wash their feet.
He said to Simon Peter:here-after you will see
Unless I do this cleansing, you can not share with me.
I set you an example of what you ought to do,
Since I, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet for you.
By this the world shall know you as followers of mine:
Your love for one another shall be the mark and sign.
I give the new commandment to those I. choose and send,
That you should love each other, as I have to the end.
So faith and hope and loving remain when all is past;
But of the three great virtues, the greatest is the last.
So he came, the long-expected,
Not in glory, not to reign;
Only born to be rejected,
Choosing hunger, toil and pain,
Till the scaffold was erected
And the Paschal Lamb was slain.
No disgrace was too abhorrent:
Nailed and mocked and parched he died;
Blood and water, double warrant,
Issue from his wounded side,
Washing in a mighty torrent
Earth and stars and ocean-tide.
Lofty timber, smooth your roughness,
Flex your boughs for blossoming;
Let your fibres lose their toughness,
Gently let your tendrils cling;
Lay aside your native gruffness,
Clasp the body of your King!
Noblest tree of all created,
Richly jewelled and embossed:
Post by Lamb's blood consecrated;
Spar that saves the tempest-tossed;
Scaffold-beam which, elevated,
Carries what the world has cost!
Wisdom, power, and adoration
To the blessed Trinity
For redemption and salvation
Through the Paschal Mystery,
Now, in every generation,
And for all eternity. Amen.
Father forgive them, they know not what they do
ch 2: Father forgive us, we know not what we do
They see me lying in the street, yet never lend a hand
The night goes by while they're asleep, yet I'm still in the sand
And I cry each night for their blinded eyes
That never, never seem to see.
Chorus
They call me friend when they're in need, I know it's all a sham.
For when my sufferings make me weep, they simply wash their hands,
And I'm left alone in despair to moan;
They'll never, never understand.
Chorus
We crucified your son in shame, his message we ignored,
Though time has passed, we're still the same, indifferent as before,
And he dies each day in our hearts of clay
O father, teach us how to love.
Chorus
Father, into your hands, I commend my soul.
You are my refuge, 0 Lord, leave me not confounded
And in your justice 0 Lord, free me and redeem me.
I am the scorn of my foes, horror to my neighbours.
Even my friends in the street, run away and leave me.
See, like a dead man am I, slighted and forgotten;
And like a thing thrown away, like a broken vessel.
But I will trust in you, Lord, say, "You are my Saviour".
I place my life in your hands, free me from oppression.
O let your light shine on me, save me in your great love.
All you who hope in the Lord, let your heart take courage.
Glory be to Jesus, Who, in bitter pains,
Poured for me the lifeblood from His sacred veins.
Grace and life eternal In that blood I find,
Blest be His compassion, Infinitely kind.
There the fainting spirit drinks of life her fill,
There as in a fountain, laves herself at will.
Grant to us, O Lord our God,
Grant a heart renewed.
Recreate in us today
The Spirit of Your Son.
Behold, the days are coming,
Says the Lord our God,
When I will make a new covenant
With the house of Israel.
Deep within their being I will implant my law;
I will write it in their hearts.
I will be their God,
And they shall be my people.
And for all their faults I will grant forgiveness;
Never more will I remember their sins.
He was despised and rejected by all,
A man of sorrows, a man of grief,
As one from whom people hide their faces,
He was despised, without esteem.
But he was wounded for our transgressions,
And He was tortured for our inequities,
And His chastisement has brought us healing,
And by his scourging we are made whole.
He had no beauty, that we should desire him,
His form disfigured, a worm, no man,
His comeliness and His beauty had vanished,
For He was scorned, despised, oppressed
Chorus
The very stone which the builders rejected,
Is now and ever the corner stone,
Let every knee bend to Jesus our Saviour,
Each tongue confesses that He is Lord
Chorus
Help me my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from my cry?
All who see me, deride me,
They curl their lips, they toss their heads.
"He trusted in God, let him save him;
Let him rescue him if he is his friend."
Many dogs have surrounded me,
A band of the wicked beset me.
They tear holes in my hands and my feet,
I can count every one of my bones.
They divide my clothing among them.
They cast lots for my robe.
O Lord, do not leave me alone,
My strength, make haste to help me!
I will tell of your name to my kinsfolk
And praise you in the assembly.
Sons and daughters of Israel, praise him,
You who fear him, give him glory.
I dare not sing of Jesus pain and anguish,
when he was crowned with thorns and mocked with jeers;
Of scourge and nails, of blood and water flowing
Of death that crowned his three and thirty years.
But I'll proclaim He heals our broken spirits,
He takes away our sin and calms our fear
And lifts the burden from the heavy-laden.
Look to the cross, the Saviour of the world is here!
There from the cross can Jesus win the nations?
Did God bequeath a curse or heritage?
Will Jesus meet the needs and aspirations
Of east and west, of sinner and of sage?
Of this I'm sure, all flesh will see His glory,
The grain that fell will yield a hundredfold,
When Christ, the rising sun, will shine in splendour
Acclaim the cross where Jesus died with love untold.
I have decided to follow Jesus;
I have decided to follow Jesus;
I have decided to follow Jesus;
No turning back, no turning back.
Tho' none go with me, I still will follow,
Tho' none go with me I still will follow,
Tho' none go with me, I still will follow;
No turning back, no turning back.
My cross I'll carry, till I see Jesus;
My cross I'll carry till I see Jesus,
My cross I'll carry till I see Jesus;
No turning back, No turning back.
The world behind me, the cross before me,
The world behind me, the cross before me;
The world behind me, the cross before me;
No turning back, no turning back.
I will sing unto the LORD,
for he has triumphed gloriously,
the horse and rider thrown into the sea. (x2)
The LORD, my God, my strength and song,
has now become my victory.
The LORD, my God, my strength and song,
has now become my victory.
The LORD is God, and I will praise him,
our covenant God, and I will exalt him.
The LORD is God, and I will praise him,
our covenant God, and I will exalt him.

If we live, it's for the Lord,
If we die, it's for the Lord,
For Christ rose to be the Lord
Of the living and of the dead.
For I know that my Redeemer lives,
At the end he'll stand upon the earth,
He shall be a witness by my side,
He will come to my defence
Where, O death, where is your victory?
Where, O death, where is your power to hurt?
For the Lord has conquered sin and death,
By his cross we are made free!
We were dead through our own trespasses,
We obeyed the promptings of the world;
But with Christ we have now risen,
By his grace we have been saved.
Do not sleep as children of the night,
Stay awake as children of the day.
For the Lord has risen from the dead:
It is this that we proclaim.
If you wish to be my disciple,
Take up your cross and follow me.
The Foxes have their holes, the birds their nest,
But I have not a place to take my rest.
Chorus.
Whoever loves his life, will only lose it,
It’s only sacrifice that brings one gain.
Chorus.
All you who labour, come you who are burdened,
Take up my yoke as well and you’ll find rest.
Chorus.
The one who holds the plough and looks behind,
My Kingdom cannot serve, my peace won’t find.
Chorus.
A Servant surely is less than his master,
If they have hated me, they will hate you.
Chorus.
Take nothing for your pay, no bread, no money,
Your treasure must be one no moth destroys.
Chorus. .
So let your lions be girt, your lamps aburning,
And be like those who wait for my return.
Chorus.
You who have followed me, when life is ended,
Will reap a hundredfold eternally.
Chorus.
Into Your hands I commend my spirit, O Lord,
Into your hands I commend my life.
It's you, O Lord, who are my sanctuary
So let me not be put to shame.
Into your hands I commend my spirit, Lord
Redeem me, Lord, and set me free.
Both friend and foe run far away from me,
They look at me with fear and scorn
I have become an object of reproach
A man forgotten placed with the dead.
But as for me I trust in you, O Lord,
I say to him: "You are my God".
From all my foes deliver me, O Lord;
I place my life, in your safe hands.
So let your face shine on your servant, Lord
So save me now, in your great love;
Let all who hope take courage in the Lord;
Be strong of heart and trust in him.
