我的靈魂渴慕禰 (My Soul Longs For You)

天主！我的靈魂渴慕你
好像牝鹿渴慕著溪水
我的靈魂思念你
愛我的天主
我要看見你的面

天主！我的靈魂渴慕你
好像牝鹿渴慕著溪水
我的靈魂思念你
我所愛的天主
我要全心尋求你

我要用全部的心尋求你
因為你救贖了我
我要永遠不變地愛著你
因你愛我直到永恆

我要用全部的心尋求你
因為你救贖了我
我要永遠不變地愛著你
一生一世不變

Paraphrase of Psalm 42

Seek Ye First The Kingdom of God

Seek ye first the kingdom of God
And His righteousness,
And all these things shall be added unto you,
Allelu, alleluia.

Refrain:
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Allelu, Alleluia!

Man shall not live by bread alone,
But by every word
That proceeds from the mouth of God,
Allelu, alleluia. (Refrain)

Ask, and it shall be given unto you.
Seek, and ye shall find.
Knock, and the door shall be opened unto you.
Allelu, alleluia. (Refrain)

Now We Remain (David Haas)

Refrain:

We hold the death of the Lord deep in our hearts.
Living, now we remain with Jesus, the Christ.

Once we were people afraid, lost in the night.
Then by your cross we were saved.
Dead became living, life from your giving. (Refrain)

Something which we have known,
something we've touched, what we have seen with our eyes:
this we have heard, life giving Word. (Refrain)

He chose to give of himself, became our bread.
Broken that we might live. Love beyond love, pain for our pain. (Refrain)

We are in the presence of God. This is our call.
Now to become bread and wine: food for the hungry,
life for the weary,
for to live with the Lord, we must die with the Lord. (Refrain)

Composer: David Haas (1983)

I Was Glad (Parry)

I was glad when they said unto me : We will go into the house of the Lord.

Our feet shall stand in thy gates : O Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is built as a city : that is at unity in itself.

O pray for the peace of Jerusalem : they shall prosper that love thee.

Peace be within thy walls : and plenteousness within thy palaces.
