Entrance Hymn
Come Lord Jesus
Verse 1
When the darkness closes in, Come, Lord Jesus!
Courage fails and hopes grow dim, Lord Jesus, come!
Clear the shadows from our sight; set our troubled world aright
Fill our eyes with radiant light. Lord Jesus come!Verse 2
Come to us, O Living Lord. Come, Lord Jesus!
Come with justice like a sword. Lord Jesus, come!
Come in word and wine and bread; come again that we poor be fed.
Raise your servants from the dead. Lord Jesus, come!
Offertory Hymn
Lord Accept the Gifts We Offer
Verse 1
Lord, accept the gifts we offer
At this Eucharistic feast.
Bread and wine to be transformed now
Through the action of thy priest.
Take us, too, O Lord, transform us;
Be thy grace in us increased.Verse 2
May our souls be pure and spotless
As the host of wheat so fine;
May all stains of sin be crushed out,
Like the grape that forms the wine,
As we, too, become partakers
In this sacrifice divine.Verse 3
Take our gifts, Almighty Father,
Living God, eternal, true,
Which we give through Christ, our Saviour,
Pleading for us anew.
Grant salvation to all present
And our faith and love renew.
