Entrance

God of Mercy and Compassion

Verse 1
God of mercy and compassion,
Look with pity upon me.
Father, let me call Thee Father,
’Tis Thy child returns to Thee.

Refrain
Jesus, Lord, I ask for mercy;
Let me not implore in vain;
All my sins—I now detest them,
Never will I sin again.

Offertory

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

Verse 1
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

Communion

Godhead Here In Hiding

Verse 1
Godhead here in hiding, whom I do adore
Masked by these bare shadows, shape and nothing more.
See Lord, at Thy service, low lies here a heart
Lost, all lost in wonder at the God Thou art.

Verse 2
Seeing, touching, tasting, are in Thee deceived;
How says trusty hearing? That shall be believed;
What God's Son has told me, take for truth I do;
Truth Himself speaks truly, or there's nothing true.

Verse 3
On the cross Thy Godhead made no sign to men;
Here Thy very manhood steals from human ken:
Both are my confession, both are my belief,
And I pray the same prayer as the dying thief.

Verse 4
I am not like Thomas, wounds I cannot see,
But can plainly call Thee Lord and God as He:
This faith each day deeper, be my holding of,
Daily make me harder hope and dearer love.

Ave Regina Caelorum

Lyrics
Ave, Regina caelorum,
Ave, Domina Angelorum:
Salve, radix, salve, porta
Ex qua mundo lux est orta:Gaude, Virgo gloriosa,
Super omnes speciosa,
Vale, o valde decora,
Et pro nobis Christum exora.
