Entrance

Crown Him With Many Crowns

Verse 1
Crown him with many crowns,
The Lamb upon His throne.
Hark! How the heavenly anthem drowns
All music but its own.
Awake, my soul, and sing
Of him who died for thee,
And hail Him as thy matchless King
Through all eternity.

Offertory

Bring To This Table

Verse 1
Bring to this table bread and wine,
Signs of redemption which Christ made divine.
Soon gifts once humble shall become
God's pledge of salvation through Jesus his Son.

Refrain
Raise up your heart to the Lord, present here,
Give him the gift of your love.
Join in this feast which unites man with life,
And live with His peace in your heart.

Verse 2
Join in these offerings joys and cares
Be one with each other and all burdens share.
Banish all hatred, forgive ev'ry wrong;
In Christ we are brothers, at peace we belong.

Communion

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

Regina Caeli

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