1 Abide with me Abide with me, fast falls the eventide. The darkness deepens, Lord with me abide When others helpers fail and comfort flee Help of the helpless, o abide with me. 11day, earth s joys grow dim, its glories pass away, change and decay in all around I see. O thou who changest not, abide with me. All That We Have All that we have and all that we offer comes from a heart both frightened and free. Take what we bring now and give what we need. All done in his name. Some would rely on their power others put trust in their gold others have only their Saviour, whose faithfulness never grows old. Repeat Sometimes the road may be lonesome, often we may lose our way, take courage and always remember love isn t just for a day. Repeat As I Kneel Before You As I kneel before you, as I bow my head in prayer Take this day make it yours and fill me with your love Ave Maria, Gratia Plena, Dominus Tecum, Benedietatu. Repeat Amazing Grace Amazing grace how sweet the sound That saved a soul like me I once was lost but now I m 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 hath brought me safe thus far And grace will lead me home A Mhuire Mathair A Mhuire Mathair se seo mo ghui Go Maire Iosa go deo im chroi Banrion na n-aingeal ta lan de ghrasta Is tusa mo mhathair is mathair De A Mhuire Mhathair i rith mo shaol Bi liom mar didean ar gach aon bhaol Repeat A Mhuire Mhathair eist le mo ghui Go raibh to taobh liom gach uair sa la. Repeat 7. As the Deer As the deer panteth for the water, so my soul longeth after Thee. You alone are my heart s desire and I long to worship thee. You alone are my strength my shield, to you alone may my spirit yield. You alone are my heart s desire and I long to worship Thee. Repeat

2 Be not afraid You shall cross the barren desert, but you shall not die of thirst. You shall wander far in safety though you do not know the way. You shall speak your words to foreign men and they will understand. You shall see the face of God and live. Be not afraid. I go before you always. Come, follow me, and I will give you rest. Close To You I watch the sunrise lighting the sky casting its shadows near. And on this morning bright though it be, I feel those shadows near me. But you are always close to me following all my ways. May I be always close to you following all your ways, Lord. Clouds Veil Even though the rain hides the stars Even though the mist swirls the hills Even when the dark clouds veil the sky You are by my side Even when the sun shall fall in sleep Even when at dawn the sky shall weep Even in the night when storms shall rise You are by my side You are by my side Bright the stars at night that mirrors heavens way to you. Bright the stars in light where dwell the saints in love and truth. Repeat Eagle s Wings You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord, Who abide in his shadows for life, Say to the Lord my refuge My rock in whom I trust. And he will raise you up on eagles wings Bear you on the breath of dawn Make you to shine like the sun And hold you in the palm of his hand Forever Friend Everybody needs a little help sometimes No one stands alone. Makes no difference if you just a child like me Or a king upon a throne For there are no exceptions we all stand in the line. Everybody needs a friend let me tell you of mine. He s my forever friend, my leave me never friend. From darkest nights to rainbow ends. He s my forever friend. Gentle Woman Gentle Woman, quiet light Morning star, so strong and bright Gentle Mother, peaceful dove Teach us wisdom, teach us love You were chosen by the father You were chosen for the son You were chosen from all women And for woman, shining one Repeat

3 Going Home Going home, going home, I m a going home. Quiet like some still day, I m just going home. It s not far just close by, through an open door. Work all done cares laid by, going to fear no more. Mother s there expecting me, father s waiting too. Lots of folk gathered there, all the friends I knew. Pause All the friends I knew. Hiding Place I will search in the silence, for your hiding place. In the quiet Lord I seek your face. Where can I discover, the well springs of your love. Is my searching and seeking in vain. How can I recover the beauty of your word. In the silence I call out your name. Repeat Hallelujah Raise your voice to God on high He heals our pain and hears our cry With love and understanding He ll come to you So if you ask then you ll receive Trust in God have faith believe The Lord of life is present Alleluia Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, How Great Thou Art O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder Consider all the works thy hand hath made, I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed; Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art, how great Thou art! Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art, how great Thou art! I the Lord 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. 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 In bread we bring you Lord In bread we bring you Lord Our bodies labour. In wine we offer you our spirit s grief. We do not ask you Lord Who is my neighbour, but stand united now one in belief. Oh we have gladly heard Your word your holy word, and now in answer, Lord, our gifts we bring. Our selfish hearts make true, our failing faith renew, Our lives belong to you, our Lord and King.

4 Jesus Lord Jesus Lord, here adored Every morning we greet thee In the host filled with love You come daily to meet me Body of Jesus O live in me Live in me forever Jesus Lord here adored O depart from me never. Look Beyond Look beyond the bread you eat See your Saviour and your Lord. Look beyond the cup you drink. See His love poured out as blood. Give us a sign that we might believe in you. Moses gave us manna from the sky. Repeat Love is the boat for the journey You are the way to heaven s yielding fold. You are the truth bringing freedom. You are the life burning deep within our hearts, for you are the boat for the journey. You are the stream where flows the path of life, guiding the way for disciples. Though storms may arise you calm the fear inside, for you are the boat for the journey.(in the air of Red is the Rose) Let It Be When I find myself in times of trouble Mother Mary comes to me Speaking words of wisdom let it be. And in my hour of darkness, she is standing right in front of me, Speaking words of wisdom let it be, Let it be (4 times) Make Me a Channel of Your Peace 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. May the road rise to meet you May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face. May the rain fall softly on your fields, and until we meet again, may you keep safe in the gentle, loving arms of God. May the Lord our God May the Lord our God bless you with love. May the Lord our God, fill you with peace. May He lead you and guide you. May He love you with compassion. May God bless you and hold you. May He always live, in you Nearer my God to Thee Nearer my God, to thee, nearer to Thee, e en though it be a cross that raiseth me. Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee. Only a Shadow The love I have for you my Lord. Is only a shadow of your love for me, only a shadow of your love for me, your deep abiding love. My own belief in you, my Lord, is only a shadow of your faith in me, only a shadow of your faith in me, your deep and lasting faith.

5 Queen of Peace (Lady of Knock) There were people of all ages gathered round the gable wall Poor and humble men and women little children that you call We are gathered here before you and our hearts are just the same Filled with joy at such a vision as we praise your name Golden Rose Queen of Ireland All my cares and troubles cease As I kneel with love before you Lady of Knock, my Queen of Peace Say Goodbye We cross the oceans, we cross the valleys, we cross the mountains high. There s none to fear, for now we re here and may we never have to say goodbye. So come we all, to take our chances, for we re prepared to try. To run the race, to face the challenge and may we never have to say goodbye. Song to the Trinity Father I know that your love for me knows no bounds. When darkness has fallen your voice from the heavens resounds. Saying trust and believe, come and walk on my road to its end. Take me home, Father, Spirit and Son my master and friend. Stand by Me When the storms of life are raging, Lord stand by me When the current pulls me under, Lord stand by me When the rising waters toss me, like a ship upon the sea You who rule the wind and water, Lord stand by me Stand by me, stand by me, lift me up from the restless sea When I am lost, when love can t be found, when no one cares Lord, stand by me. The Lord is my Shepherd The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want The Lord is my Shepherd, There is nothing I shall want, Fresh and green are the pastures, Where He gives me repose. The Old Rugged Cross On a hill far away, stood an old rugged cross, The emblem of suffering and shame; And I loved that old cross where the dearest and best for a world of lost sinners was slain. So I ll cherish the old rugged cross Till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross And exchange it someday for a crown.

6 There is a place There s a time for remembering, A time to recall, The trials and the triumphs, the fears and the falls, There s a time to be grateful for moments so blessed The jewels of our memory where love is our guest. There is treasure in our fields, there is treasure in our skies, there is treasure in our dreaming from the soul to the eye for wherever we gather in the light of God s grace, and for all who we remember, there will ever be a place. There are many rooms There are many rooms in my Father s house Do not be afraid and have no doubt I am going there to prepare a place Come and follow me Come and you will see Come and take your rest in God s safe embrace Yahweh I Know Yahweh, I know you are near, Standing always at my side. You guard me from the foe, And you lead me in ways everlasting. Lord, you have searched my heart, And you know when I sit, And when I stand. Your hand is upon me, Protecting me from death, Keeping me from harm. Repeat chorus I am the way the truth the life those who believe in me will never die will never die but live again. Repeat You Are Mine I will come to you in the silence; I will lift you from all your fear. You will hear my voice. I claim you as my choice, be still and know I am here. Do not be afraid I am with you. I have called you each by name. Come and follow me, I will bring you home, I love you and you are mine.
