Our God Reigns

How lovely are the mountains at the feet of him,
Who brings good news, good news.
Announcing peace, proclaiming news of happiness:
Our God reigns; our God reigns!

Be Thou My Vision
Verse 1
Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best thought, by day or by night
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light
Verse 2
Be Thou my wisdom, and Thou my true word
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord
Thou my great Father, and I Thy true son
Thou in me dwelling and I with Thee one
Verse 3
Riches I heed not, nor vain, empty praise
Thou mine inheritance, now and always
Thou and Thou only first in my heart
High King of heaven, my treasure Thou art
Verse 4
High King of heaven, my victory won
May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heaven's sun
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision, O ruler of all
Communion
These Alone Are Enough
Verse 1
Take my heart, O Lord, take my hopes and dreams.
Take my mind with all its plans and schemes.
Give me nothing more than Your love and grace.
These alone, O God, are enough for me.
Verse 2
Take my thoughts, O Lord, and my memory.
Take my tears, my joys, my liberty.
Give me nothing more than Your love and grace.
These alone, O God, are enough for me.
Verse 3
I surrender, Lord, all I have and hold.
I return to You Your gifts untold.
Give me nothing more than Your love and grace.
These alone, O God, are enough for me.
Verse 4
When the darkness falls on my final days,
take the very breath that sang Your praise.
Give me nothing more than Your love and grace.
These alone, O God, are enough for me.

Regina caeli, laetare, alleluia;
Quia quem meruisti portare, alleluia,
Resurrexit, sicut dixit, alleluia:
Ora pro nobis Deum, alleluia.
