Hymns for Friday Evening Mass
Friday of the 6th Week of Eastertide
Entrance
Praise To The Holiest
Verse 1
Praise to the Holiest in the height
And in the depth be praise;
In all His words, most wonderful
Most sure in all His ways
Verse 2
O loving Wisdom of our God
When all was sin and shame;
A second Adam to the fight
And to the rescue came.
Offertory
Jesus My Lord, My God, My All
Verse 1
Jesus, my Lord, my God, my All,
How can I love Thee as I ought?
And how revere this wondrous gift,
So far surpassing hope or thought?
Refrain
Sweet Sacrament, we Thee adore;
Oh, make us love Thee more and more.
Oh, make us love Thee more and more.
Verse 2
Had I but Mary's sinless heart
To love Thee with, my dearest King,
Oh, with what bursts of fervent praise
Thy goodness, Jesus, would I sing.
Communion
O God You Search Me
Verse 1
O God, You search me, and You know me
All my thoughts lie open to Your gaze
When I walk or lie down, You are before me
Ever the maker and keeper of my days
Verse 2
You know my resting and my rising
You discern my purpose from afar
And with love everlasting, You besiege me
In ev'ry moment of life or death, You are
Verse 3
Before a word is on my tongue, Lord
You have known its meaning through and through
You are with me beyond my understanding
God of my present, my past and future, too
Verse 4
Although Your Spirit is upon me
Still I search for shelter from Your light
There is nowhere on Earth I can escape You
Even the darkness is radiant in Your sight
Verse 5
For You created me and shaped me
Gave me life within my mother's womb
For the wonder of who I am, I praise You
Safe in Your hands, all creation is made new

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