Mass Hymns - 9th June 2013

Entrance Hymn: #559 Praise my Soul, the King of Heaven

Listen to the hymn here

Praise, my soul, the King of Heaven; 
To His feet Thy tribute bring! 
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven, 
Ever more His praises sing; 
Alleluia! Alleluia!  
Praise the everlasting King!

Praise Him for His grace and favour, 
To his children in distress! 
Praise Him still the same as ever, 
Slow to chide, and swift to bless! 
Alleluia! Alleluia!  
Glorious in His faithfulness!

Father-like, He tends and spares us; 
Well our feeble frame He knows. 
In His hands He gently bears us, 
Rescues us from all our foes, 
Alleluia! Alleluia!  
Widely as His mercy flows!

Angels, help us to adore Him; 
You behold Him face to face: 
Sun and moon, bow down before Him; 
In His holy dwelling place, 
Alleluia! Alleluia!  
Praise with us the God of grace! 

Offertory Hymn: Take and Receive


Communion Hymn: #377 Here I am Lord

1) I, the Lord of sea and sky,
I have heard My people cry.
All who dwell in dark and sin,
My hand will save.
I who made the stars of night,
I will make their darkness bright.
Who will bear My light to them?
Whom shall I send? (Ref)

Ref: 
Here I am Lord, Is it I Lord?
I have heard You calling in the night.
I will go Lord, if You lead me.
I will hold Your people in my heart.

2) I, the Lord of snow and rain,
I have born my peoples pain.
I have wept for love of them, They turn away.
I will break their hearts of stone,
Give them hearts for love alone.
I will speak My word to them,
Whom shall I send? (Ref)

3) I, the Lord of wind and flame,
I will tend the poor and lame.
I will set a feast for them,
My hand will save
Finest bread I will provide,
Till their hearts be satisfied.
I will give My life to them,
Whom shall I send? (Ref)

Closing Hymn: Amazing Grace (in key of D)

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.
