Entrance Hymn
Verse 1
O cross erected above the world
Cross of our Saviour King,
O cross erected above the world
Cross of our Saviour King,
Fount from which gushed the waters,
Straight from the wound in His side,
Filling our lives with His gift of grace,
Cross of our Saviour King.Verse 2
O cross sublime and refulgent tree,
Cross of our Saviour King,
O cross sublime and refulgent tree,
Cross of our Saviour King,
Jesus Thru’ thee has saved us,
Great was the price that He paid,
Thou art the folly of love divine,
Cross of our Saviour king.Verse 3
O Cross, Thou channel of grace divine,
Cross of our Saviour King.
Tree on which death was conquer'd,
Thou, the first Altar of Love:
Jesus the lamb gave his life on Thee,
Cross of our Saviour King!Verse 4
O Cross, all honour and praise to Thee,
Cross of our Saviour King.
Thou art the sign of vict'ry.
Sign of Redemption and Life.
Homage and glory belong to Thee,
Cross of our Saviour King!
Offertory Hymn
Verse 1
When I survey the wondrous cross
on which the Prince of glory died,
my richest gain I count but loss,
and pour contempt on all my pride.Verse 2
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast
save in the death of Christ, my God!
The vain things that now tempt me most,
I sacrifice them to his blood.Verse 3
See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
The pain and love flow mingled down;.
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
or thorns compose so rich a crown?Verse 4
Were ev'ry realm of nature mine,
My gift would still be far too small.
Love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all.
Verse 1
Alleluia! Sing to Jesus!
His the scepter, His the throne;
Alleluia! His the triumph,
His the victory alone;
Hark! The songs of peaceful Zion
thunder like a mighty flood;
Jesus out of ev’ry nation
hath redeemed us by His blood.Verse 2
Alleluia! not as orphans are we left in sorrow now;
Alleluia! He is near us, faith believes, nor questions how:
Though the cloud from sight received Him when the forty days were o'er
Shall our hearts forget His promise, "I am with you evermore"Verse 3
Alleluia! bread of angels, Thou on earth our food, our stay;
Alleluia! here the sinful turn to Thee from day to day:
Intercessor, Friend of sinners,
Earth’s Redeemer, plead for me,
Where the songs of all the sinless sweep across the crystal sea.Verse 4
Alleluia! King eternal, Thee the Lord of lords we own;
Alleluia! born of Mary, Earth Thy footstool, Heaven Thy throne:
Thou within the veil hast entered, robed in flesh our great High Priest;
Thou on earth both priest and victim in the Eucharistic feast
