Entrance

O God Beyond All Praising

Verse 1
O God beyond all praising,
We worship You today
And sing the love amazing
That songs cannot repay;
For we can only wonder
At every gift You send,
At blessings without number
And mercies without end:
We lift our hearts before You
And wait upon your word,
We honor and adore You,
Our great and mighty Lord.

All Man’s Labour Can Produce

Refrain
May this lowly bread and wine
Be the sacrifice divine
Of our Saviour Jesus Christ
Of our Saviour Jesus Christ

All man’s labour can produce
You have given for our use
Take O Lord our offering
Take O Lord, our offering

Verse 2
On this gift of bread and wine
Of our sacrifice a sign
Father look with favour now
Father look, with favour now

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

Alma Redemptoris Mater

Lyrics
Alma Redemptoris Mater
quae pervia caeli porta manes,
et stella maris, succurre cadenti,
Surgere qui curat, populo:
tu quae genuisti,
Natura mirante, tuum sanctum Genitorem
Virgo prius ac posterius, Gabrielis ab ore
Sumens illud Ave, peccatorum miserere.
