Holy God, We Praise Thy Name (#33 Missalette)

Lord of all, we bow before Thee.
All on earth thy scepter claim,
All in heaven above adore Thee.
Infinite, thy vast domain,
Everlasting is thy reign;
Infinite, thy vast domain,
Everlasting is thy reign.

Angel choirs above are raising;
Cherubim and seraphim
In unceasing chorus praising;
Fill the heavens with sweet accord:
Holy, holy, holy Lord!
Fill the heavens with sweet accord:
Holy, holy, holy Lord!
Holy Father, Holy Son,
Holy Spirit, Three we name Thee;
While in essence only One,
Undivided God we claim Thee;

While we own the mystery;
And adoring bend the knee,
While we own the mystery.
Amazing
Grace (#439 Music
Issue)
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.
'Twas 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 has 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.
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 first begun.
Here I am, Lord (#375 Music Issue)
I, the Lord of sea and sky,

Whom shall I send?
Refrain:
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.
I, the Lord of snow and rain,
I have borne my people's 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?
Refrain
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?
Refrain
Prayer of St. Francis (#472 Music
Issue)
Make me a channel of your peace
Where there is hatred let me bring your love.
Where there is injury your pardon Lord.
And where there's doubt true faith in you.
Make me a channel of your peace,
Where's there's despair in life, let me bring hope,
Where there's darkness, only light,
And where there's sadness, ever joy.
Oh Master grant that I may never seek,
So much to be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love with all my soul.
Make me a channel of your peace,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
In giving of ourselves that we receive,
And in dying that we're born to eternal life.

Come follow me, and I will give you rest.

And death is at your side,
Know that I am with you - through it all.

for the Kingdom shall be theirs.

For one day you shall laugh.
And if wicked men insult and hate you all because of me,
Blessed - blessed - are you!

O Little Town of Bethlehem
Oh little town of
Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
the silent stars go by
Yet in they dark streets shineth,
the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
are met in thee tonight.
For Christ is born of Mary, and
gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep
their watch of wondering love
Oh morning stars together, proclaim
the holy birth.
And praises sing to God the king,
and peace to men on earth.
Angels we have heard on
high,
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains.
Gloria... In Excelsius
Deo. Gloria... In Excelsius Deo.
Shepherd why this jubilee,
Why your joyous strains prolong
What the gladsome tidings be,
Which inspire your heavenly song?
Gloria... In Excelsius Deo. Gloria... In Excelsius Deo.
Come to Bethlehem and see,
Him whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord the newborn king.
Gloria... In Excelsius
Deo. Gloria... In Excelsius Deo.
What child is this, who,
laid to rest
On Mary's lap, is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the
King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
Haste, haste to bring him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
So bring Him
incense, gold, and myrrh,
Come peasant king to own Him,
The King of kings, salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
Raise, raise
the song on high,
The Virgin sings her lullaby:
Joy, joy, for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
Away in a manger, no crib
for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus asleep in the hay.
The cattle
are lowing, the baby awakes,
But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.
I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.
Be near me,
Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care,
And take us to heaven, to live with Thee there.
Hark! the herald angels
sing, -

"Christ is born in Bethlehem."
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King!
Christ, by
highest heaven adored:

Pleased, as man, with men to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel!
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King!
Hail! the
heaven-born Prince of peace!
Hail! the Son of Righteousness!

Born that man no more may die:
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth.
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King!
We three kings of Orient
are,
Bearing gifts we traverse afar,
Field and fountain, moar and mountain,
Following yonder Star.
REFRAIN
O, star of wonder, star of might,
Star with royal beauty bright,

Over us all to reign.

Let fields and floods, rocks hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,

Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.
Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see (Do you see what I see)
Way up in the sky little lamb.
Do you see what I see (Do you see what I see)
A star, a star dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite, with a tail as big as a
kite.
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear (Do you hear what I hear)
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy.
Do you hear what I hear (Do you hear what I hear)
A song, a song, high above the tree
With a voice as big as the sea, with a voice as big
as the sea.
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know (Do you know what I know)
In your palace warm mighty king.
Do you know what I know (Do you know what I know)
A child, a child shivers in the cold,
Let us bring Him silver and gold, let us bring Him
silver and gold.
Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say (Listen to what I say)
Pray for peace, people everywhere.
Listen to what I say (Listen to what I say)
The child, sleeping in the night,
He will bring us goodness and light, He will bring us
goodness and light.
Bring us light!

Through the dark and moonless night as Bethlehem lay
still,
Joseph led the donkey with it’s burden down the hill,
And Mary said to Joseph, “What is that sound I
heard?”
“The wind is saying something,” and then Joseph
calmed her fear.
Refrain
They traveled on and on and how the roads would twist
and turn.
A gusty wind was blowing as they left the town
behind.
And Mary clung to Joseph as she thought she heard
once more
Voices in the wind then Joseph calmed her as before.
Refrain
Joseph led the donkey that bore Mary with the child.
And as they crossed the desert wastes they tried to
laugh and smile
And though the wind was blowing and the night began
to fade,
Joseph said to Mary, “Mary, please don’t be afraid.”
Refrain
Don’t listen to the wind. Don’t listen to the wind.
Don’t listen to the wind.
May my Lord be magnified, my savior I rejoice in Thee
Thou hast seen my lowliness and filled me with thy
sanctity.
Henceforth generations will call me blessed and holy
For He, who’s mighty, He who is strong has done great
things for me.
He has scattered all the proud in their heart’s
imagination,
Exalting every humble soul in his acts of veneration.
He filled the hungry with all good and sent the rich
away without
And He comes to fill with love, the hearts of His
devout.
May my Lord be magnified, my savior I rejoice in Thee
Thou hast seen my lowliness and filled me with thy
sanctity.
