Sabbath Prayer (edited)

May the Lord protect and defend you.
May He always shield you from shame.
May you come to be
Among us be a shining name.

May you be both strong and constant.
May you be deserving of praise.
Strengthen her, Oh Lord,
And keep her from the strangers' ways.

May God bless you and grant you long live.
(May the Lord fulfill our Sabbath prayer for you.)
May God take you to pastures that thrive.
(May He send you shepherds who will care for you.)
May the Lord protect and defend you.
May He always shield you from shame.
May you come to be
Among us be a shining name.

May you be both strong and constant.
May you be deserving of praise.
Strengthen her, Oh Lord,
And keep her from the strangers' ways.

May God bless you and grant you long live.
(May the Lord fulfill our Sabbath prayer for you.)
May God take you to pastures that thrive.
(May He send you shepherds who will care for you.)


May the Lord protect and defend you.
May the Lord preserve you from pain.
Favor her, Oh Lord, with happiness and peace.
Oh, hear our Sabbath prayer. A-men.

O Gate of Heaven

O gate of heaven, O house of gold
O Mary Mother of Jesus
O Blessed Virgin when prophets foretold
O Mary Mother of Jesus

Chorus:
Hail holy Mother who brought forth the king
He rules all being forever
O Alleluia Alleluia
O Mary Mother of Jesus

O seat of wisdom O cause of our joy
O Mary Mother of Jesus
O you the help whom all Christians employ
O Mary Mother of Jesus

O Queen of angels O Queen of saints
O Mary Mother of Jesus
O Queen of God’s own holy grace

O Mary Mother of Jesus

Take Lord Receive (John Foley)

1. Take, Lord, receive all my liberty, 
My memory, understanding, my entire will. 

Refrain:
Give me only Your love and Your grace, that's enough for me.
Your love and Your grace, are enough for me.
2. Take, Lord, receive all I have and possess. 
You have given all to me, now I return it. 

3. Take, Lord, receive, all is Yours now. 
Dispose of it, wholly according to Your will
