For all the Saints

Listen to the beautiful hymn by clicking here

"For All the Saints Who from Their Labors Rest"
by William W. How, 1823-1897

1. For all the saints who from their labors rest,
Who you by faith before the world confess,
Your name, O Jesus, be forever blest,
Alleluia! Alleluia!

2. O blest communion, fellowship divine,
We feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
Yet all are one within your great design
Alleluia! Alleluia!

3. The golden evening brightens in the west;
Soon to the loyal faithful comes their rest
Sweet is the calm of Paradise so blest.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

4. But, lo, there breaks a yet more glorious day;
The saints triumphant rise in bright array;
The King of Glory passes on His way.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

5. From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast,
Through gates of heav'n streams in the countless host,
Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Alleluia! Alleluia!

Author: William W. How, 1864, cento
Composer: R. Vaughan Williams, 1906, arr.
Tune: "Sine nomine"

He is the Life

He is the life that I want to live
He is the light that I want to radiate
He is the way to the Father
He is the love with which I want to love
He is the joy that I want to share
He is the peace that I want to sow
Jesus is everything to me
Without Him I can do nothing

O Queen of the Holy Rosary

O Queen of the Holy Rosary!
Oh! bless us as we pray
And offer thee our roses
In garlands day by day.

While from our Father's garden
With loving hearts and bold
We gather to thine honour
Buds white and red and gold.

O Queen of the Holy Rosary!
Each myst'ry blends with Thine
The sacred life of Jesus
In ev'ry step divine

Thy soul was His fair garden,
Thy virgin breast His throne
Thy thou'ts his faithful mirror
Reflecting Him above.

I'll be always loving you

I am here with you by your side,
Sheltering your heart from the night.

Refrain
Wherever you go, whatever you do,
I’ll be always loving you.

Let me love the world through your heart,
Let me heal your wounds with my touch.

I will be your God your comforter.
I will hold you close in my heart.

Let me see the world through your eyes,
Let forgiveness shine through your smile.
