Long is the winter, dark is the night, O come set us free, O saving light. Come set us free, O saving light. O come dwell among us, O saving light.

===================================================

“All Are Welcome” (Marty Haugen) Let us build a house where love can dwell and all can safely live. A place where saints and children tell how hearts learn to forgive. Built of hopes and dreams and visions, rock of faith and vault of grace. Here the love of Christ shall end divisions: All are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place. Let us build a house where prophets speak, and words are strong and true. Where all God’s children dare to seek to dream God’s reign anew. Here the cross shall stand as witness and as symbol of God’s grace; Here as one we claim the faith that frees us; All are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place. Let us build a house where love is found, in water, wine and wheat; A banquet hall on holy ground where peace & justice meet. Here the love of God, through Jesus, is revealed in time and space, As we share in Christ the feast that frees us: All are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place. Let us build a house where hands will reach beyond the wood and stone, To heal and strengthen, serve and teach, and live the word they’ve known. Here the outcast and the stranger bears the image of God’s face, Let us bring an end to fear and danger; All are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place. Let us build a house where all are named, their songs and visions heard And loved and treasured, taught and claimed, as words within the Word. Built of tears and cries and laughter, prayers of faith and songs of grace, Let this house proclaim from floor to rafter: All are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place.

”An Advent Processional” (Donald Pearson) Refrain: O come, O come, Emmanuel, and ransom captive Israel. Rejoice! Rejoice Emmanuel, shall come to thee, O Israel.

1 Come thou Redeemer of the earth, and manifest thy virgin birth: Let every age adoring fall such birth befits the God of all.

2 Begotten of no human will, but of the Spirit thou art still,

The Word of God in flesh arrayed, the promised fruit to all displayed.

"All Good Gifts" (Stephen Schwartz) 1 We plow the fields and scatter the good seed on the land,

But it is fed and watered by God's almighty hand. God sends the snow in winter, the warmth to swell the grain, The breezes and the sunshine and soft refreshing rain.

Refrain: All good gifts around us are sent from heaven above. So thank the Lord, oh thank the Lord, for all your love.

2 We thank Thee then, O Creator, for all things bright and good,

The seed time and the harvest, our life, our health, our food. No gifts have we to offer for all thy love imparts, But that which Thou desirest our humble, thankful hearts.

All good gifts around us are sent from heaven above. So thank the Lord, oh thank the Lord, for all your love. I really want to thank you, Lord. I want to thank you, Lord, Thank you for all of your love. Oh, thank you, Lord. I want to thank you, Lord, thank you, Lord.

"All My Days" (Dan Schutte & Jim Murray S.J.)

Antiphon: Till the end of my days, O Lord, I will bless your name, Sing your praise, give you thanks, all my days.

1 You have made me little less than a God, and have lavished my heart with your love.

With dignity and honor you've clothed me, given me rule over all. 2 You have blessed me with good things and plenty and surrounded my table with friends.

Their love and their laughter enrich me; together we sing your praise. 3 Your sun and your moon give me light, and your stars show the way through the night.

Your rivers and streams have refreshed me. I will sing your praise. 4 How great is your love, O God, that you sent us your Savior Son.

His death and his rising will heal us, and draw us all unto you.

“All the Ends of the Earth” (David Haas & Marty Haugen) Refrain: ||: All the ends of the earth have seen the power of God. :|| 1 Sing to the Lord a new song, for God has done wondrous deeds; his right hand has won the vict'ry for us, God's holy arm. 2 The Lord has made his salvation known, his justice revealed to all. Remembered his kindness and faithfulness to Israel. 3 All of the ends of the earth have seen salvation by our God. joyfully sing out all you lands, break forth in song. 4 Sing to the Lord with harp and song, with trumpet and with horn. Sing in joy before the King, the King our Lord. Copyright © 1983 by GIA Publications, Inc. All Rights Reserved =================================================== “All That We Have” (Gary Ault) Refrain: All that we have and all that we offer Comes from a heart both frightened and free. Take what we bring now and give what we need, All done in God’s name. 1 Some would rely on their power, others put trust in their gold. Some have only their Savior, whose faithfulness never grows old. 2 Sometimes the road may be lonesome, often we may lose our way; Take courage and always remember love isn’t just for a day. 3 Sometimes when troubles are many, life can seem empty, it’s true, But look at the life of the Master, who lovingly suffered for you.

"Amazing Grace" (John Newton)

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.

Through many dangers toils and snares we have already come. 'Tis grace that brought us safe thus far and grace will lead us 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. ===================================================

"Anthem" (Tom Conry)

Refrain: We are called, we are chosen. We are Christ for one another. We are promised to tomorrow, while we are for Christ today. We are sign, we are wonder. We are sower, we are seed. We are harvest, we are hunger. We are question, we are creed.

1 Then where can we stand justified? In what can we believe?

In no one else but God who suffered, nothing more than Christ who rose. Who was justice for the poor. Who was rage against the night. Who was hope for peaceful people. Who was light.

2 Then how are we to stand at all, this world of bended knee?

In nothing more than barren shadows. No one else but God could save us. Who was justice for the poor. Who was rage against the night. Who was hope for peaceful people. Who was light.

3 Then shall we not stand empty at the altar of our dreams?

When He promised us ourselves. Who mark time against tomorrow. Who are justice for the poor. Who are rage against the night. Who are hope for peaceful people. Who are light.

"Around a Table" (Carol Dick and Dick Lawless) 1 Around a table we have talked, looked at days ahead, shared food, argued loud,

Around a table we have talked even wept together a few times. Around a table letters written, dreams held in our hands, work done, bills paid, And picked up broken pieces of our hopes. Around a table we have talked.

2 Around a table we now gather to remember his life, break bread, share a word,

Around a table we now gather, to thank our God so loving to us all. Around a table gifts are given, gifts of self and blood, a meal shared, lives restored, Our family reunited once again around a table gathered here.

3 Around these tables we will gather, our whole life long, growing old together,

Around these tables we will gather opening hearts to hear a work of peace. Around a table visions shared of a meal when time shall end, and hands are held, Love binding all and no one hungry ever again around a table joined as one.

“As a Fire is Meant for Burning” (Ruth Duck & Marty Haugen) 1 As a fire is meant for burning with a bright and warming flame, So the church is meant for mission, giving glory to God’s name. Not to preach our creeds or customs, but to build a bridge of care, We hold hands across the nations, finding neighbors everywhere. 2

We are learners; we are teachers; we are pilgrims on the way. We are seekers; we are givers; we are vessels made of clay. By our gentle, loving actions, we would show that Christ is light. In a humble list’ning Spirit, we would live to God’s delight. 3 As a green bud in the springtime is a sign of life renewed, So may we be signs of oneness ‘mid earth’s peoples, many hued. As a rainbow lights the heavens when a storm is past and gone, May our lives reflect the radiance of God’s new and glorious dawn. Text: Ruth Duck, © 1992, GIA Publications, Inc. Tune: BEACH SPRING;

"Ashes" (Tom Conry) 1 We rise again from ashes, from the good we've failed to do.

We rise again from ashes, to create ourselves anew. If all our world is ashes, then must our lives be true, An offering of ashes, an offering to You.

2 We offer you our failures, we offer You attempts,

The gifts not fully given, the dreams not fully dreamt. Give our stumblings direction, give our visions wider view, An offering of ashes, an offering to You.

3 Then rise again from ashes, let healing come to pain,

Though spring has turned to winter, and sunshine turned to rain. The rain we'll use for growing, and create the world anew From an offering of ashes, an offering to You.

4 Thanks to the Creator, Who made us like we are.

Thanks to the Redeemer, Who saved us by His death. Thanks be to the Spirit, Who creates the world anew From an offering of ashes, an offering to You.

"As the Watchman -- Psalm 63" (Michael Joncas)

Refrain: As the watchman waits for the dawn, so do I long for you, my God. (Repeat)

1 O God, you are my God, for you my soul is thirsting.

My body pines for you like a dry weary land without water. 2 So I gaze on you in your holy place to see your strength and your glory,

For your love is better than life; my lips will sing your praise. 3 So I will bless you all my life, in your name I will lift up my hands

My soul shall be filled as with a banquet, my mouth shall praise you with joy. 4 On my bed I remember you, on you I muse through the night

For you have been my help; in the shadow of your wings I rejoice.

"Be Not Afraid" (Bob Dufford, S.J.) 1 You shall cross the barren desert, but you shall not die of thirst.

You shall wander far in safety though you do not know the way. You shall speak your words to foreigners and they will understand. You shall see the face of God and live.

Antiphon: Be not afraid. I go before you always

Come follow Me, and I will give you rest 2 If you pass through raging waters in the sea, you shall not drown.

If you walk amid the burning flames, you shall not be harmed, If you stand before the pow'r of hell and death is at your side, Know that I am with you through it all. Antiphon

3 Blessed are your poor, for the Kingdom shall be theirs.

Blest are you that weep and mourn, for one day you shall laugh. And if wicked ones insult and hate you all because of Me, blessed, blessed are you! Antiphon

"Blest Be the Lord" (Dan Schutte) Antiphon:

Blest be the Lord; blest be the Lord, The God of mercy, the God who saves. I shall not fear the dark of the night, Nor the arrow that flies by day.

1 God will release me from the nets of all my foes.

God will protect me from their wicked hands. Beneath the shadow of God’s wings I will rejoice To find a dwelling place secure.

2 I need not shrink before the terrors of the night,

Nor stand alone before the light of day. No harm shall come to me, no arrow strike me down, No evil settle in my soul.

3 Although a thousand strong have fallen at my side,

I’ll not be shaken with the Lord at hand. God’s faithful love is all the armor that I need. To wage my battle with the foe. Copyright © 1976,1979. by Daniel Schuttle & North American Liturgy Resources. All Rights Reserved

“Bridge” (Tim White & Gloria Mog) Refrain: Reach across the darkness, the chasm of our fears. You, our hope in days of trouble, a bridge beyond our tears. 1 My promise is forever. The rainbow’s in your land that you know I am with you the reign of God at hand. 2 Set your lamp before you, as darkness fades to dawn; illuminate the stranger; let shadows blind no more. 3 What sign can you show us? The spilling of the coins? That we may know your wisdom and find our way again. 4 A light came to save us. Yet darkness rules our land. We cannot see your face, Lord. Shine down on us today.

=================================================== "But Then Comes the Morning" (J. Miffleton)

Antiphon: But then comes the morning, yesterday's sorrows behind. Wake it's the day of your longing, life returns, mercy comes, it's morning.

1 Look at him stripped on the hill, running the streets poorly clad,

Robots have taken his job, his hands are outstretched for the nails, Forgive, Lord, forgive. It was night when we did what we did.

2 Look at him nailed on the hill, nailed by our lack of concern,

Locked and forgotten in jail, confined to a home for the aged, Forgive, Lord, forgive. It was night when we did what we did.

3 Look at him die on the cross, witness our cruelty and lies,

Cut down like weeds in our wars, stabbed on the streets where we live, Forgive, Lord, forgive. It was night when we did what we did.

4 Look in his mother's eyes, tears for the child in her arms,

A few spoons of beans for the day, rats crawl from holes in the walls, Forgive, Lord, forgive. It was night when we did what we did.

5 The night watch is set at the tomb, he's buried not dead but alive,

As long as you did it to these, you also have done it to me, Forgive, Lord, forgive. It was night when we did what we did.

"By My Side" (Godspell-Stephen Schwartz)

Where are you going? Where are you going? Can you take me with you? For my hand is cold and needs warmth. Where are you going?

Far beyond where the horizon lies, where the horizon lies, And the land sinks into mellow blueness. Oh, please take me with you. Let me skip the road with you, I can dare myself, I can dare myself. I'll put a pebble in my shoe and watch me walk I can walk and walk.

I shall call the pebble Dare. We will talk about walking. Dare shall be carried and when we both have had enough I will take him from my shoe, singing: "Meet your new road." Then I'll take your hand, Fin'lly glad that you are here.

By my side, by my side, by my side, by my side, by my side, by my side, by my side.

"Canticle of the Sun" (Marty Haugen)

Refrain: The heavens are telling the glory of God, and all creation is shouting for joy. Come, dance in the forest, Come, play in the field, and Sing, sing to the glory of the Lord.

1 Sing to the sun, the bringer of day, he carries the light of the Lord in his rays;

The moon and the stars who light up the way unto your throne. 2 Praise to the wind that blows through the trees, the seas mighty storms, the gentlest

breeze; They blow where they will, they blow where they please to please the Lord. 3 Praise to the rain that waters our fields, and blesses our crops so all the earth yields;

From death unto life her myst'ry revealed springs forth in joy. 4 Praise to the fire who gives us its light, the warmth of the sun to brighten our night;

It dances with joy, with spirit so bright, it sings of you. 5 Sing to the earth who makes life to grow, the creatures you made to get your life show; The flowers, the trees, that help us to know the heart of love. 6 Praise to our death that makes our life real, the knowledge of loss that helps us to feel; The gift of yourself, your presence revealed to lead us home.

“Canticle of the Turning” (arr. Rory Cooney) 1 My soul cries out with a joyful shout that the God of my heart is great, And my spirit sings of the wondrous things that you bring to the ones who wait. You fixed your sight on your servant’s plight, and my weakness you did not spurn, So from east to west shall my name be blest. Could the world be about to turn? Refrain: My heart shall sing of the day you bring. Let the fires of your justice burn. Wipe away all tears, for the dawn draws near, and the world is about to turn! 2 Though I am small, my God, my all, you work great things in me, And your mercy will last from the depths of the past to the end of the age to be. Your very name puts the proud to shame, and to those who would for you yearn, You will show your might, put the strong to flight, for the world is about to turn. 3 From the halls of power to the fortress tower, not a stone will be left on stone. Let the king beware for your justice tears ev’ry tyrant from his throne. The hungry poor shall weep no more, for the food they can never earn;] There are tables spread, ev’ry mouth be fed, for the world is about to turn. 4 Though the nations rage from age to age, we remember who holds us fast: God’s mercy must deliver us from the conqueror’s crushing grasp. This saving word that our forebears heard is the promise which holds us bound, ‘Til the spear and rod can be crushed by God, who is turning the world around. Copyright © 1990 GIA Publications, Inc.

"Children of the New Day" (composer unknown)

Chorus: We are children of the new day now beginning, No longer must we wander in the night. We are sons and daughters of the new creation For the Lord now risen is our life.

1 Born of water in the spirit, born to live life once again.

Born are we to a new tomorrow and a day that will not end. 2 Dying he gave us salvation rising he restored us too.

We have shared in His resurrection, in Him we begin anew. 3 God has now fulfilled the promise that we would be free from sin.

We are heirs to the world's salvation that God sent us on to win.

“Christ, Be Our Light” (Bernadette Farrell)

1. Longing for light, we wait in darkness. Longing for truth, we turn to you. Make us your own, your holy people, light for the world to see.

Refrain Christ, be our light! Shine in our hearts. Shine through the darkness. Christ, be our light! Shine in your church gathered today.

2. Longing for peace, our world is troubled. Longing for hope, many despair. Your word alone has pow’r to save us. Make us your living voice.

3. Longing for food, many are hungry. Longing for water, many still thirst. Make us your bread, broken for others, shared until all are fed.

4. Longing for shelter, many are homeless. Longing for warmth, many are cold. Make us your building, sheltering others, walls made of living stone.

5. Many the gifts, many the people, many the hearts that yearn to belong. Let us be servants to one another, making your kingdom come.

“Christ Has Risen” (John Bell) Christ has risen while earth slumbers, Christ has risen where hope died, As he said and as he promised, As we doubted and denied. Let the moon embrace the blessing; Let the sun sustain the cheer; Let the world confirm the rumor: Christ has risen, God is here! Christ has risen for the people Whom he died to love and save; Christ has risen for the women Bring flowers to grace his grave. Christ has risen for disciples Huddled in an upstairs room. He whose word inspired creation Can’t be silenced by the tomb. Christ has risen to companion Former friends who fear the night, Sensing loss and limitation Where their faith had once burned bright. They bemoan what is no longer, They expect no hopeful sign Till Christ ends their conversation, Breaking bread and sharing wine. Christ has risen and forever Lives in challenge and to change All whose lives are messed or mangled, All who find religion strange. Christ has risen, Christ is present Marking us what he has been Evidence of transformation In which God is known and seen.

"City of God" (Dan Schutte, S.J.)

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!

2 We are sons of the morning; we are daughters of day.

The One who has loved us has brightened our way. The Lord of all kindness has called us to be A light for the people to set their hearts free.

3 God is light; in God there is no darkness.

Let us walk in the light, God’s children one and all. O comfort my people; make gentle your words. Proclaim to my city the day of her birth.

4 O city of gladness, now lift up your voice!

Proclaim the good tidings that all may rejoice!

=================================================== "Come to Me" (Carol Dick)

Refrain: Come to me all you who labor and find your rest. Come to me lay down your burdens and be refreshed.

Crying inside to be loved voices that whisper and die. 2 Every day people are born, every day people lie dying

Happiness held in their hand fades like a dream at dawn.

"Come to Me" (David Haas) 1 Ask and you shall receive; seek and you shall find.

Knock, it shall be opened, the goodness of the Lord. For the one who asks, receives, the one who seeks shall find. The one who knocks will enter, and see the face of God.

Refrain: Come to me, all you weary. I will refresh you, learn from me. My yoke is easy, my burden light.

2 See the birds in the sky, they neither sow nor reap,

And still our God cares for them, will not the Lord care for you? See the lilies of the field, they do not work or spin; If they are clothed in splendor, God will provide for you.

3 Do not worry about your life, what to eat or wear.

Is not your life for greater things? Is not your life for the Lord? Seek the one who knows your need, and all things will be yours. Worry not of tomorrow, let tomorrow find its way.

“Come to Set Us Free” (Bernadette Farrell)

Refrain: Come to set us free, come to make us your own. Come to show the way to your people, your chosen. Open our lives to the light of your promise. Come to our hearts with healing, come to our minds with power. Come to us and bring us your life.

1 You are light which shines in darkness, Morning Star which never sets.

Open our eyes which only dimly see the truth which sets us free. 2 You are hope which brings us courage, You are strength which never fails.

Open our minds to ways we do not know, but where your Spirit grows. 3 You are promise of salvation, You are God in human form.

Bring to our world of emptiness and fear the Word we long to hear. Copyright © 1982, Bernadette Farrell

"Come to the Water" (John Foley, S.J.)

O let all who thirst, let them come to the water. And let all who have nothing, let them come to the Lord: Without money, without price. Why should you pay the price, except for the Lord?

And let all who seek, let them come to the water. And let all who have nothing, let them come to the Lord: Without money, without strife. Why should you spend your life, except for the Lord?

And let all who toil, let them come to the water. And let all who are weary, let them come to the Lord: All who labor, without rest. How can your soul find rest, except for the Lord?

And let all the poor, let them come to the water. Bring the ones who are laden, bring them all to the Lord: Bring the children without might. Easy the load and light: come to the Lord.

Craftsman, actor, graceful dancer, make your offering; Join your hands in celebration; let creation shout and sing!

3 Word from God eternal springing, fill our minds, we pray;

And in all artistic vision give integrity: May the flame within us burning kindle yearning day by day.

"Come With Me Into the Fields" (Dan Schutte, S.J.) 1 The fields are high and summer’s days are few;

Green fields have turned to gold. The time is here for the harvesting, for gathering home into barns.

Chorus: The harvest is plenty; laborers are few. Come with me into the fields. Your arms may grow weary; your shoes will wear thin. Come with me into the fields.

2 The seeds were sown by other hands than yours;

Nurtured and cared for they grew. But those who have sown will not harvest them; The reaping will not be their care.

“Covenant Hymn” (Text: Ruth 1:16: Rory Cooney; Tune; Gary Daigle) 1 Wherever you go I will follow, Wherever you live is my home. Though days be of blessing or sorrow, Though house be of canvas or stone, Though Eden be lost to the past, Though mountains before us be vast, Wherever you go, I am with you, I never will leave you alone 2 Whatever you dream, I am with you, When stars call your name in the night. Though shadows and mist cloud the future, Together we bear there a light. Like Abram and Sarah we stand, With only a promise in hand. But lead where you dream; I will follow. To dream with you is my delight. 3 And though you should fall, you will find me, When no other friend can you claim, When foes beat you down or betray you And others desert you in shame. When home and dreams aren’t enough, And you run away from my love, I’ll raise you from here you have fallen. Faithful to you is my name. 4 Wherever you die I will be there To sing you to sleep with a psalm, To soothe you with tales of our journey, Your fears and your doubts I will calm. We’ll live when journeys are done Forever in mem’ry as one. And we will be buried together, And waken to greet a new dawn. 5 Wherever you go, I will follow, Behold! The horizon shines clear. The possible gleams like a city: Together we’ve nothing to fear. So speak with words bold and true The message my heart speaks to you. You won’t be alone, I have promised. Wherever you go, I am here.

1 Have mercy, O God, according to your love.

Cleanse me from my sin; wash me in your mercy, And fill my heart with joy and gladness.

Let my soul glory in the Lord, for God hears the cry of the poor. 2 Let the lowly hear and be glad: the Lord listens to their pleas;

And to hearts broken God is near, for God hears the cry of the poor. 3 Ev’ry spirit crushed God will save; will be ransom for their lives;

Will be safe shelter for their fears, for God hears the cry of the poor. 4 We proclaim your greatness O God, your praise ever in our mouth;

Ev’ry face brightened in the light, for God hears the cry of the poor.

“Cross of Jesus” (Francis Patrick O’Brien) 1 Come, O God, renew your people, We who long to see your face. Strengthen hearts that have grown feeble; Fill our lives with truth & grace. Only you can win our freedom; Only you can bring us peace. Only in the cross of Jesus will the captives find release. 2 Deep within create a new heart; Melt away the winter chill. Help us now to make a new start, Help us now to know your will. Washed in waters of forgiveness, Cleansed in waters of new birth, Lead us to the cross of Jesus, Bringing life to all the earth. 3 In the darkness that surrounds us We have lost your from our sight. Even though your love has found us, We embrace the powers of night. Scatter now our deepest darkness, Guide our hearts into the light, Join us to the cross of Jesus, Help us set our living right. 4 Call us forth to walk in justice, Rescue us from sin and grave. Through the power of your Spirit breathe in us the breath that saves. Strengthen us in our communion, One in Word and cup and bread, Here within the cross of Jesus, all who hunger will be fed.

“De la Paz (Of Peace)” (Patricia A. Pearce) 1 De la paz, of peace I sing this song

For that day when war shall cease to be When the hungry child can have her daily bread And the one in chains has been set free. 2 Now the swords are hard and plowshares few And the wolf still preys upon the lamb, But in far off hills there sounds a rolling stream Of the justice promised by I Am. 3 Yet this path we walk is long and steep And we’re tired and have so far to go, But our weary feet can still take one more step And our hands one seed of peace can sow. 4 With each step that time of peace draws near, Even though it may not dawn today, For we know through humble acts of our short lives God’s love will somehow work its way. 5 De la paz, of peace I dream this dream That shalom will one day live in me When the blindness in my soul at last is healed And in captives’ eyes the Christ I’ll see. I’ll see.

"Each Winter As the Year Grows Older" (Acc. Marty Haugen) [tune: Carol of Hope by Annabeth Gay and text by William Gay] 1 Each winter as the year grows older, We each grow older too.

The chill sets in a little colder; The verities we knew seem shaken and untrue.

2 When race and class cry out for treason, When sirens call for war,

They overshout the voice of reason, And scream till we ignore all we held dear before.

3 Yet I believe beyond believing, That life can spring from death;

That growth can flower from our grieving; That we can catch our breath and turn transfixed by faith.

4 So even as the sun is turning, To journey to the North,

The living flame, in secret burning, Can kindle on the earth, and bring God's love to birth.

5 O Child of ecstasy and sorrows, O prince of peace and pain,

Brighten today's world by tomorrow's, Renew our lives again; Lord Jesus come and reign!

Yet all our days are in your hands, So we return in love what love has made.

3 To those who see with eyes of faith, the Lord is ever near,

reflected in the faces of all the poor and lowly of the world.

"For All the Saints" (R. Vaughan Williams) [with keyboard only] 1 For all the saints who from their labors rest,

All who by faith before the world confessed, Your name, O Jesus, be forever blest. Al - le - lu - ia! Al - le - lu - ia!

2 You were their rock, their fortress, and their might; You, Lord, their captain in the well-fought fight;

You, in the darkness drear, their one true light. Al - le - lu - ia! Al - le - lu - ia!

3 Oh, may your soldiers, faithful, true and bold,

Fight as the saints who nobly fought of old And win with them the victor's crown of gold. Al - le - lu - ia! Al - le - lu - ia!

4 Oh, blest communion, fellowship divine,

We feebly struggle, they in glory shine; Yet all are one within your great design. Al - le - lu - ia! Al - le - lu - ia!

5 And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long;

Steals on the ear the distant triumph song, And hearts are brave again and arms are strong. Al - le - lu - ia! Al - le - lu - ia!

6 The golden evening brightens in the west;

Soon, soon to faithful warriors comes their rest; Sweet is the calm of paradise the blest. Al - le - lu - ia! Al - le - lu - ia!

7 But then there breaks a yet more glorious day:

The saints triumphant rise in bright array; The King of Glory passes on his way. Al - le - lu - ia! Al - le - lu - ia!

8 From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast,

Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host, Singing to God, Son and Spirit One: Al - le - lu - ia! Al - le - lu - ia! ==================================================

“For the Earth Forever Turning” (Kim Oler) For the earth forever turning; For the skies, for ev’ry sea; For our lives, for all we cherish, Sing we our joyful song of peace. For the mountains, hills and pastures In their silent majesty; For the stars, for all the heavens, Sing we our joyful hymn to thee. For the sun, for rain and thunder, For the seasons’ harmony, For our lives, for all creation, Sing we our joyful praise to thee. For the world we raise our voices, For the home that gives us birth; In our joy we sing returning Home to our bluegreen hills of earth.

"For You Are My God" (John Foley, S.J.)

Antiphon: For You are my God; You alone are my joy. Defend me, O Lord.

1 You give marvelous comrades to me: the faithful who dwell in Your land.

Those who choose alien gods have chosen an alien band. 2 You are my portion and cup; it is You that I claim for my prize.

Your heritage is my delight; the lot you have given to me. 3 Glad are my heart and my soul; securely my body shall rest.

For you will not leave me for dead, nor lead your beloved astray. 4 You show me the path for my life; in your presence the fullness of joy.

To be at your right hand forever for me would be happiness always.

"Free Us" (Tim White)

"The Garden Song" (Dave Mallet)

Inch by inch, row by row, gonna make this garden grow. Gonna mulch it deep and low, gonna make it fertile ground. Inch by inch, row by row, God bless the seeds we sow. Please keep them safe below til the rain comes tumbling down.

Pulling weeds and picking stones, we are made of dreams and bones. Feel the need to grow my own, cause the time is close at hand. Grain for grain, sun and rain, find my way in nature’s chain To my body and my brain, to the music from the land.

Plant your rows straight and long, temper them with prayer and song. Mother earth will make you strong if you give her love and care. Old crow watching hungrily, from his perch in yonder tree. In my garden I’m as free as that feathered friend up there.

"Gather Us In" (Marty Haugen) 1 Here in this place, new light is streaming,

Now is the darkness vanished away, See, in this space, our fears and our dreamings, Brought here to you in the light of this day.

Gather us in, the lost and forsaken, Gather us in, the blind and the lame; Call to us now, and we shall awaken, We shall arise at the sound of your name.

2 We are the young, our lives are a mystery,

We are the old, who yearn for your face, We have been sung throughout all of history, Called to be light to the whole human race. Gather us in, the rich and the haughty, Gather us in, the proud and the strong; Give us a heart so meek and so lowly, Give us the courage to enter the song.

3 Here we will take the wine and the water,

Here we will take the bread of new birth Here you shall call your sons and your daughters, Call us anew to be salt for the earth.

Give us to drink the wine of compassion, Give us to eat the bread that is you; Nourish us well, and teach us to fashion Lives that are holy and hearts that are true.

4 Not in the dark of buildings confining,

Not in some heaven, light years away, But here in this place the new light is shining, Now is the kingdom, now is the day.

Gather us in and hold us forever, Gather us in and make us your own; Gather us in all peoples together, Fire of love in our flesh and our bone.

"Gift of Finest Wheat" (Robert E. Kreutz) Refrain: You satisfy the hungry heart with gift of finest wheat, Come give to us, o saving Lord, the bread of life to eat. 1 As when the shepherd calls his sheep, They know and heed his voice;

So when you call your fam’ly, Lord, we follow and rejoice. 2 With joyful lips we sing to you our praise and gratitude,

That you should count us worthy, Lord, to share this heav’nly food.

3 Is not the cup we bless and share the blood of Christ outpoured? Do not one cup, one loaf, declare our oneness in the Lord?

4 The myst’ry of your presence, Lord, no mortal tongue can tell;

Whom all the world cannot contain comes in our hearts to dwell.

5 You give yourself to us, O Lord; then selfless let us be, To serve each other in your name in truth and charity.

"Give Yourself to Love" (Kate Wolf) 1 Kind friends all gathered round, there's something I would say

That what brings us together here has blessed us all today. Love has made a circle that holds us all inside, Where strangers are as family and loneliness can't hide.

Refrain: [You must] Give yourself to love, if love is what you're after Open up your hearts to the tears and laughter and give yourself to love, give yourself to love.

2 Love is born in fire, it's planted like a seed

Love can't give you everything, but it gives you what you need Love comes when you are ready, love comes when you're afraid It will be your greatest teacher, the best friend you have made.

"Glory and Praise to Our God" (Dan Schutte, S.J.)

Refrain: Glory and praise to our God, Who alone gives light to our days. Many are the blessings God bears To those who trust in the way.

1 We, the daughters and sons of God,

Who built the valleys and plains, Praise the wonders our God has done in every heart that sings.

2 In God's wisdom God strengthens us,

Like gold that's tested in fire. Though the power of sins prevails, our God is there to save.

3 Every moment of every day our God is waiting to save,

Always ready to seek the lost, to answer those who pray. 4 God has watered the barren land and spent the merciful rain.

Now the rivers of life run full for anyone to drink.

Let us rejoice in God and be glad. 2 By this shall all know that we are true disciples,

If we have love one for another. 3 Owe no one anything except to love one another.

For they who love their neighbor will fulfill the whole law. 4 O carry one another’s burdens

And so you will fulfill the Law of Christ.

=================================================== "God Is One Unique and Holy" (Text: Brian Wren; Tune: GHENT, 87, 87, 87)

God is One, unique and holy, endless dance of love and light; Only source of mind and body, star-cloud, atom, day or night; Ev'rything that is or could be tells God's anguish and delight.

God is Oneness by Communion, never single or alone; All togetherness including friendship, family and home Common mind and shared agreement, common loaf and sung Shalom.

God is One through desolation blindness, treason, blood and gall; One, though torn by separation in the Son's forsaken call; One through death and resurrection; One in Spirit, One for all.

"God of Day and God of Darkness" (Marty Haugen) 1 God of day and God of darkness, now we stand before the night;

As the shadows stretch and deepen, come and make our darkness bright. All creation still is groaning for the dawning of your might, When the Sun of peace and justice fills the earth with radiant light.

2 Still the nations curse the darkness, still the rich oppress the poor;

Still the earth is bruised and broken by the ones who still want more. Come and wake us from our sleeping, so our hearts cannot ignore All your people lost and broken, all your children at our door.

3 Show us Christ in one another, make us servants strong and true;

Give us all you love of justice, so we do what you would do. Let us call all people holy, let us pledge our lives anew, Make us one with all the lowly, let us all be one in you.

4 You shall be the path that guides us, you the light that in us burns;

Shining deep within all people, yours the love that we must learn, For our hearts shall wander restless ‘til they safe to you return; Finding you in one another, we shall all your face discern.

5 Gentle Father, Loving Mother, Jesus: Brother, Savior, Friend;

Spirit of all grace and power, May we praise you without end. Grant us all a peaceful resting, let each mind and body mend, So we rise refreshed tomorrow, hearts renewed to Kingdom tend.

“The God of Second Chances” (David Haas) 1 Come now, O God of second chances; open our lives to heal. Remove our hate, and melt our rage. Save us from ourselves. 2 Come now, O God, release our demons; open our eyes to see the shame within, our guilt and pain. Mend us; make us whole. 3 Come now, O God, and still our anger; open our minds to peace. Embrace our fear, and hold us close. Calm the storm within. 4 Come now, O God, shake our resentment; open our way to choose the way of love over revenge. Show us a new way. 5 Come now, O God, and grant compassion; open our hearts to love. May we let go of all our hurt.

=================================================== “God Remembers” (Marty Haugen & Brien Wren) God remembers pain: nail by nail, thorn by thorn, Hunger, thirst and muscles torn. Time may dull our griefs And heal our lesser wounds, But in eternal Love yesterday is now, And pain is in the heart of God. God remembers joy: Touch of love, taste of food, All our senses know is good. Love and life flow by And precious days are gone, But in eternal Love every day is now, And joy is in the heart of God. God remembers us: All we were, all we are, lives within our lover’s care. Time may dull our minds and death will take us all, But in eternal Love every life is now, Our life is hid with Christ in God.

“God Who Gardens” (Colleen Fulmer) 1 Mother God in whose garden we dwell, How beautiful your loving face.

You desire our blossoms and the fruit on the vine; We’re made in your image and grace.

2 Let our flowered garden reflect who you are, Your passion for wholeness and life;

Giving us golden sun and the water we need To bring us to fullness of life.

3 Heal our wounds from the seasons of pain,

Touching the roots deep within And pruning the branches long withered and dead The ones that no longer give you praise.

4 Cleanse us, beloved, with your gentle rains,

Your love planted firm in our earth, Making fertile in us your justice and peace, Bringing your beauty to birth.

5 For you are the God who has called us to life, One who unfolds each brand new day. May our being give glory to you, Mother God, Your garden is singing your praise.

Your garden is singing your praise.

“Go Tell It on the Mountain” (folksong; offertory version) Refrain: Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere, Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born. 1 (solo) When I was a seeker, I sought both night and day. I asked the Lord to help me, and God taught me to pray. 2 When we gather at table, we come from far & near, And like the kings of long ago, we grow past doubt & fear. 3 Every year we hear it told, how Jesus came to earth. And showed us how – from day to day – our lives can mean new birth.

"Happy Are They" (Tim Schoenbachler)

Antiphon: Happy are they who trust in God, who trust in God.

1 Happy are the people of God: they walk not in the sinners' ways.

They delight in God's word, in the work they find joy. 2 They are like the tree near rich earth, yielding fruit in the proper time

And whose leaves never fade. All their works yield in due time. 3 Wicked hearts the Lord turns away like the leaves in the autumn wind.

For the Lord cares for the just: wicked hearts walk to their death. 4 Blessed are the spirit poor, for the kingdom of God is theirs.

Blessed are those who mourn: they shall be comforted. 5 Blest are those who thirst for what is just: they shall be satisfied.

Blessed are the merciful: mercy shall be theirs. 6 Blessed are the pure of heart: they shall see the face of God.

Blessed are those who make peace: they shall be called the children of God.

"The Harvest of Justice" (David Haas)

Refrain: May we find richness in the harvest of justice which Christ Jesus has ripened for us. Bread for the journey, Bread for the hungry, all for the glory and praise of God.

1 Gather with patience for those who have nothing.

Leave them your riches, and you will receive. Make room for the poor ones, make way for the stranger; For I am the Lord, the Lord your God.

2 For to have mercy on those forgotten, This is my true law, this is my command:

Clothe the naked, be home for the orphan, be hope for the widow, and welcome the lost. 3 For to have little is to be in abundance. To give what remains, to give all we have,

Is to walk with the poor ones, and become the stranger, one with the Lord, the Lord our God.

“Help” (The Beatles) When I was younger, so much younger than today I never needed anybody’s help in any way. (But now) But now these days are gone & I’m not so self-assured, Now I find I’ve changed my mind. I’ve opened up the doors. Chorus: Help me if you can, I’m feeling down, And I do appreciate you’re being ‘round. Help me get my feet back on the ground, Won’t you please, please help me? And now my life has changed in Oh so many ways, My independence seems to vanish in the haze. But every now & then, I feel so insecure, I know that I just need you like I’ve never done before. Chorus (Repeat verse 1 & chorus with ‘tag’ to end: Help me, help me, Ohhh?!)

Refrain: Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord? I have heard you calling in the night. I will go, Lord, if you lead me. I will hold your people in my heart.

I have wept for love of them. They turn away. I will break their hearts of stone, give them hearts for love alone. I will speak my word to them. Whom shall I send?

I will set a feast for them. My hand will save. Finest bread I will provide till their hearts be satisfied. I will give my life to them. Whom shall I send?

Refrain: Are not our hearts burning within us? Are not our lives shared as one bread? Here in our hands, here in this place. Jesus, our hope; life from the dead.

1 In the breaking of the bread, may we know the Lord.

We were lost and now are found, home again with God. 2 You are food for all our hunger, you are all we need.

You are our promise and our hope, life for the world. 3 As grain, once scattered on the hill, was gathered all as one.

May we be one in this bread: Behold the Lamb of God! 4 As this bread is broken, as this cup is shared,

We give our lives broken and outpoured, we will serve the Lord.

You have looked upon your servant, you have visited your people. Refrain:

And holy is your name, through all generations! Everlasting is your mercy, to the people you have chosen, And holy is your name.

2 I am lowly as a child, but I know from this day forward;

That my name will be remembered, for all will call me blessed. 3 I proclaim the pow'r of God, you do marvels for your servants;

Though you scatter the proud hearted, and destroy the might of princes. 4 To the hungry you give food, send the rich away empty.

In your mercy you are mindful of the people you have chosen. 5 In your love you now fulfill, what you promised to your people.

I will praise you Lord, my savior, ever lasting is your mercy.

"How Can I Keep from Singing" (tradit.) 1 My life flows on in endless song above earth’s lamentation.

I hear the real though far off hymn that hails a new creation. Refrain: No storm can shake my inmost calm

While to that rock I’m clinging. Since love is lord of heaven and earth, How can I keep from singing?

2 Through all the tumult and the strife, I hear the music ringing.

It sounds and echoes in my soul; how can I keep from singing?

3 What though the tempest ‘round me roar, I hear the truth, it liveth; What though the darkness ‘round me close, songs in the night it giveth.

Come, in my word and my bread you will find what you need to walk faithful and strong. Come be blessed and refreshed and made one in my love.

I have carved you on the palm on my hand. I will never forget you; I will not leave you orphaned; I will never forget my own.

2 Does a mother forget her baby? Or a woman the child within her womb?

Yet even if these forget, yes, even if these forget, I will never forget my own. Copyright © 1975,by Carey Landry and North American Liturgy Resources. All rights reserved.

“I Sing a Maid” (M.D. Ridge) I sing a maid of tender years to whom an angel came. And knelt, as to a mighty queen, and bowed his wings of flame: A nation’s hope in her reply. This maid of matchless grace: For God’s own Son became her child, and she his resting place. She watched him grow to manhood’s strength, to meet his destiny, And when the danger of his truth brought him to Calvary She stood by him all powerless to ease his dying pain Til in the darkest hour of all she held her son again. And if the song had ended there our eyes would fill with tears. But, ah! the song had just begun to echo down the years! Now lift your voices, hearts and souls to sing with one accord To honor Mary, Mother of the Christ, the risen Lord!

“Jerusalem, My Happy Home” (Joseph Bromehead)

Jerusalem, my happy home, When shall I with you thee? When shall my sorrows have an end? Your joys when shall I see?

Your saints are crowned with glory great; They see God face to face; They triumph still, they still rejoice In that most holy place.

There David stands with harp in hand As master of the choir: Ten thousand times that we were blessed That might this music hear.

Our Lady sings Magnificat With tune surpassing sweet, And all the virgins join the song While sitting at her feet.

There Magdalen hath left her moan, And cheerfully doth sing With blessèd saints, whose harmony In every street doth ring.

Jerusalem, my happy home, Would God I were in thee! Would God my woes were at an end Thy joys that I might see! Text: Joseph Bromehead; Tune: LAND OF REST, © 1989. GIA Publications

"Journeys Ended, Journeys Begun" (Gregory Norbet, O.S.B.)

Refrain: Journeys ended, journeys begun: To go where we have never been, to be beyond our past, Moments of lifting up, transcending death, Rising in transparent light to the fullness of God's presence. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

1 Do not let your hearts be troubled: trust in God and trust in me,

you shall not be alone. To prepare a place for you I go but shall return -- so that you may be with me in the mystery of rising to new life.

2 Loving one another in truth, choosing clear the many deaths of going beyond self,

Living in the spirit of one who gave his life -- So that we might come to know how profound the gift of God in Jesus Christ.

3 There can be no greater love than this: (to) give our lives for others:

Our joy will be complete. I have told you all this so that you may find peace -- In the sharing of your life and know the depth of love to which we're called.

Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee, God of glory, Lord of love; Hearts unfold like flow’rs before Thee, Op’ning to the sun above. Melt the clouds of sin and sadness; Drive the dark of doubt away; Giver of immortal gladness, Fill us with the light of day! All your works with joy surround Thee, Earth and heav’n reflect your rays, Stars and angels sing around Thee, Center of unbroken praise. Field and forest, vale and mountain, Flow’ry meadow, flashing sea, Singing bird and flowing fountain, Praising you eternally!

Always giving and forgiving, Ever blessing, ever blest, Wellspring of the joy of living, Ocean depth of happy rest! Thou our Father, Christ our Brother, Let your light upon us shine; Teach us how to love each other, Lift us to the joy divine.

Mortals, join the mighty chorus, Which the morning stars began; God’s own love is reigning o’er us, Joining people hand in hand. Ever singing, march we onward, Victors in the midst of strife, Joyful music leads us Sunward In the triumph song of life.

"The Kingdom Song" (Shawn Tracy)

(Intro): Lord, may Your Kingdom rise in us. And Lord, may Your echoes fill the earth. You have died, You are risen, You will come to us again, While the echoes of Your love cry to you.

1 The Kingdom of God is like a farmer planting seed,

So his field of wheat can fill the land. For to live is to drink all the sunshine and the rain, And to smile with your friends breaking bread.

CHORUS : Praise be to God for all blessings and all gifts, And the table that You set with Your hands, And the Spirit riding high in the sunshine and the wind, For the kingdom of love is at hand.

2 The Kingdom of God is like a man making bread,

And he puts all his love into the dough, And it rises to the rays of the sunshine in his love, For the banquet of the people in his life.

3 The Kingdom of God is like a treasure in a field,

That someone just happens to find, So she goes and she sells everything that she has, And she buys the treasured field for her own.

(Ending): You have died, You are risen, You will come to us again, While the echoes of Your love cry to You. ........

He goes among his people curing their illness. 3 Sing then of David's Son, our Saviour and brother;

1 Take from me Your holy feasts, all Your off’rings and Your music; Let justice flow like waters, and integrity like an ever-flowing stream.

2 How long should we wait, O God, for the day of Your mercy to dawn, The day we beat our swords into ploughs, when Your peace reigns over the earth?

3 Hear this, all of you who use the poor in your day thirst of power and riches: The Lord will turn your laughter to tears, on the wondrous Day of our God.

4 Even now return to me, let your hearts be broken and humble, For I am gracious, gen’rous and kind; come and seek the mercies of God.

5 You have been told the way of life, the way of justice and peace; To act justly, to love gently, and walk humbly with God.

"Let There Be Peace on Earth" (Sy Miller & Jill Jackson)

Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me. Let there be peace on earth the peace that was meant to be. With God who lives in us, fam’ly all are we. Let us walk with each other in perfect harmony.

Let peace begin with me. Let this be the moment now. With every step I take let this be my solemn vow, To take each moment, and live each moment in peace eternally. Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.

As a light to the people, like the breaking of day.

“Living in the Promise” (Barbara Formoso & Tim White)

“Lo, How A Rose E’er Blooming” (Michael Praetorius) Lo how a rose e'er blooming From tender stem hath sprung Of jesse's lineage coming As seers of old have sung It came a blossom bright Amid the cold of winter When half spent was the night Isaiah 'twas foretold it The rose I have in mind With mary we behold it The virgin mother kind To show god's love a right She bore to us a savior When half spent was the night O flower whose fragrance tender With sweetness fills the air Dispel in glorious splendor The darkness everywhere True man yet very god From sin and death now save us And share our every load

"Lonesome Valley" (tradit.) 1 Jesus walked that lonesome valley, he had to walk it by himself,

Nobody else could walk it for him, he had to walk it by himself. 2 You've gotta walk that lonesome valley, you've gotta walk it by yourself,

Nobody else can walk it for you, you gotta walk it by yourself. 3 You must go and stand your trial, you’ve gotta stand it by yourself,

Nobody else can stand it for you, you gotta stand it by yourself. 4 Who can you see--down in that valley? Standing alone and in pain,

Reach out your hand, one to another, stand that trial, together in faith. 5 From far and near we stand before God at the table for this meal,

Apart but together, we bring gifts, Lord, as we pray the words you spoke.

We shall no longer follow Him. 5 You, My disciples, will you also leave? Lord, to whom can we go?

"Lord of the Dance" (Sidney Carter) 1 I danced in the morning when the world was begun,

And I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun, And I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth; At Bethlehem I had my birth.

Refrain: Dance, then, wherever you may be. I am the Lord of the Dance, said he, And I'll lead you all wherever you may be, and I'll lead you all in the dance, said he.

2 I danced for the scribe and the Pharisee,

But they wouldn't dance, and they wouldn't follow me. I danced for the fishermen, for James and John; They came with me and the dance went on.

3 I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame: the holy people said it was a shame.

They whipped and they stripped and they hung me high, And left me there on a cross to die.

4 I danced on a Friday when the sky turned black.

It's hard to dance with the devil on your back. They buried my body and they thought I'd gone; but I am the dance and I still go on.

5 They cut me down and I leapt up high; I am the life that'll never, never die.

I'll live in you if you'll live in me: I am the Lord of the Dance, said he. Copyright © 1963 Galliard Publications.

"Lord, Send Out Your Spirit" (Tim Schoenbachler)

Refrain: Lord, send out your spirit, renew the face of the earth. Lord, send out your spirit, renew the face of the earth.

1 You set the earth on its foundation firm, not to be moved in all its days;

Clothed it with oceans and robed it in light; O, bless the Lord, all you God's works. 2 You sprang up springs running down to the streams,

Winding their ways through mountains and hill, Birds dwell in treetops where waters run, sending their song into the world.

3 From sea to shore how your wonders are seen, carefully planned in wisdom and love.

All of your work is abundant with life; O, my soul bless you, the Lord.

“Love That Is Hoarded” (John Snyder) Refrain:

Love that is hoarded molds in time until we learn someday – the only things we ever keep are what we give away.

1 – Love is like a penny, shining in your hand, If you hold too tightly, it’s not at your command. (Ref) 2 – Love is like a circle, of dancers in a ring, You have to keep it moving, or it doesn’t mean a thing. (Ref) 3 – Love is like a song, floating in the air, It’s not meant for your pocket, it’s meant for all to share (Ref) 4 – Love is like a banquet, spread for humankind, Join with all your neighbors, don’t be left behind. (Ref) 5 – Love that is too careful, turned in & all alone, Will slowly dry & harden, until it’s like a stone. (Ref) 6 – The things we hold too tightly, we’ll surely lose someday, The only things we ever keep are what we give away. (Ref) (Copyright unknown; Synder sang with “The People” in the 1960’s.)
