One thing I ask, this alone I seek, To dwell in the House of the Lord all my days. For one day within Your temple heals every day alone. O Lord, bring me to Your dwelling.
1. Hear, O Lord, the sound of my calling.
Hear, O Lord, and show me Your way.
2. The Lord is my light and hope of salvation.
The Lord is my refuge; whom should I fear?
3. Wait on the Lord and hope in His mercy.
Wait on the Lord and live in His love.
1. You are our Father, Redeemer Lord are You.
Why must we wander, so far away from Your truth!
Open the heavens, return to our side.
You are our Father, Lord our guide.
2. Come back to Your servants now.
Give back O Lord Your light.
The pathways are parting now we choose
Yet You hide from our sight:
Rupture the heavens, come back to our lives:
Come down to Your people, Lord of Life.
My Shepherd is the Lord, there is nothing I shall need. Fresh and green are the pastures where he'll lead. My Shepherd is the Lord, there is nothing I shall need. Fresh and green are the pastures where he'll lead.
3. Your world doesn't know You now,
they close their eyes to You.
O where are the wondrous deeds You do,
all for those who were true?
Sunder the heavens and come to our aid.
Lord, look how Your people stand afraid.
My Shepherd is the Lord, there is nothing I shall need. Fresh and green are the pastures where he'll lead.
4. Where is Your answer? I cry my days to You.
A worm and no man am I, despised by all in my gloom.
Lord will You hear me, take heed of my heart?
O why must You let Your love depart?
My Shepherd is the Lord, there is nothing I shall need. Fresh and green are the pastures where He'll lead.
Trust in the Lord; you shall not tire. Serve you the Lord you shall not weaken. For the Lord's own strength will uphold you. You shall renew your life and live.
1. The Lord is our eternal God . He neither faints nor grows weary. Our hearts He probes from afar, Knowing our ways, knowing our ways.
2. Young hearts may grow faint and weak Youths may collapse, stumble and fall. They that hope in the Lord will renew their courage. They'll soar with eagle's might.
3. Old men shall dream new dreams. Young men will find wisdom in visions. The Lord will speak in our lifetime, Show His face to those who wait.
Leaping the mountains, bounding the hills, See how our God has come to meet us. His voice is lifted, His face is joy. Now is the season to sing our song on high.
1. Come, then O Lord of Glory
Show us Your face.
Speak for we know Your words are life.
2. He pastures His flock among the wild flowers,
And leads them to the mountain of His love.
3. All through the day, all through the night;
Seek for the Lord and sing His love.
Blest Be the Lord, Blest Be The Lord The God of mercy, the God who saves. I shall not fear the dark of night, Nor the arrow that files by day.
1. He will release me from the nets of sinful men,
He will release me from their wicked hands.
Beneath the shadow of His wings, I will rejoice,
To find a dwelling place secure.
2. I need not shrink before the terrors of the night,
Nor stand alone before the light of day.
No harm shall come to me, no arrow strike me down.
No evil settle in my soul.
3. Although a thousand men have fallen at my side,
I'll not be shaken with the Lord at hand.
His faithful Love is all the armor that I need
To wage the battle with the foe

Let me sow Your joy

Less to be consoled
Than to help console
Less be understood
Than to understand Your good
Lord make me a means of Your Peace

To forgive in thee
You've forgiven me
For to die in thee
Is eternal life to me
Lord make me a means of Your Peace

that raises up the dead;

I am the gate that guards you
night and day;
You are my flock; you know the shepherd's voice;
You are

Let him boast in the Lord,

Who forgives our sins.

With the Lord who is God?

or that God should be moved?

Whose life must fade like the fields.
From the earth he is born and to earth returns.
Put your trust in the Lord.

For all who gather in this place,
For the faith of those around us,
For the dead and all those here,
For the hope we find in mem’ry,
For the love that draws us near.

For the song that sings our name.

For the fragrance of release,
For the fire that blazes forward,
For the call to bring forth peace,
For the blindness now enlightened,
For the bound that are now free,
For the brightness of your new day,
For the kingdom we will be.
Hail thee, festival day! Blest day that art hallowed forever; day wherein God from heaven, shone on the world with his grace.

on them that await his appearing,
he whom the Lord foretold,
suddenly, swiftly, descends. Refrain

burn in our hearts with thy love. Refrain
I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord :
he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.
I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shalt stand
at the latter day upon the earth.
And though after my skin worms destroy this body,
yet in my flesh shall I see God:
whom I shall see for myself,
and mine eyes shall behold, and not another.
We brought nothing into this world,
and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away;
blessed be the Name of the Lord.
Man that is born of a woman hath but a short time to live,
and is full of misery.
He cometh up, and is cut down, like a flower;
he fleeth as it were a shadow, and never continueth in one stay.
In the midst of life we are in death:
of whom may we seek for succour, but of thee, O Lord,
who for our sins art justly displeased?
Yet, O Lord God most holy, O Lord most mighty,
O holy and most merciful Saviour,
deliver us not into the bitter pains of eternal death.
I heard a voice from heaven, saying unto me,
Write,
From henceforth blessed are the dead which die in the Lord:
even so saith the Spirit:
for they rest from their labours.
Amen.

In paradisum deducant te Angeli;
in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres,
et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Ierusalem.
Chorus angelorum te suscipiat,
et cum Lazaro quondam paupere æternam habeas requiem.
May angels lead you into paradise; upon your arrival, may the martyrs
receive you and lead you to the holy city of Jerusalem. May the ranks of
angels receive you, and with Lazarus, once the poor man, may you have
eternal rest.
In memory of the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings, 15 April 2013
May the voice of angel chorus
lift your soul to God’s embrace.
May the martyrs come to welcome you
and saints prepare a place
where all sorrows and all burdens
melt before our Savior’s face,
who with love
did walk the Cross of Love.
May the Gentle Shepherd lead you
as you welcome Sister Death.
May the arms of Abraham
enfold your soul upon his breast.
In Jerusalem eternal,
holy city, holy rest;
you’ll find love, that walked the Cross of Love.
May the Lord bless and keep you
as your journey is complete.
May the face of God come shine on you,
God’s gracious light increase.
May the Holy One with kindness
look on you
and give you peace, give you love,
to walk the Cross of Love.
Domine, Jesu Christe,
qui me creasti,
redemisti, et preordinasti
ad hoc quod sum,
tu scis quid de me facere vis;
fac de me secundum
voluntatem tuam
cum misericordia.
Amen.
Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm:
for love is strong as death;
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it.
Text: from the Song of Solomon
Music: William Walton (1902-1983)

Sacred the land, sacred the water, sacred the sky, holy and true. Sacred all life, sacred each other; all reflect God who is good.

bearing a likeness of you, Most High One.
Sister Moon and Stars who are precious,
splendid, ride your glorious sky.
2. Brother Wind and Air that pervades,
vary their moods to sustain all you've made.
Sister Water, useful and pure,
lowly, freely sharing her life.

strong and robust yet playful and bright.
Sister Earth, our mother who nurtures,
feeding, yielding flower and herb.
Final Refrain
Sacred the land, sacred the water, sacred the sky, holy and true. Sacred all life, sacred each other; all reflect God who is good; all reflect God, all reflect God.
