Entrance Hymn
Verse 1
The church's one foundation
is Jesus Christ, her Lord;
She is His new creation,
by water and the word.
From heav'n He came and sought her
to be His holy bride;
with His own blood He bought her,
and for her life He died.Verse 2
Elect from every nation,
yet one o'er all the earth,
her charter of salvation:
one Lord, one faith, one birth.
One holy name she blesses,
partakes one holy food,
and to one hope she presses,
with every grace endued.Verse 3
‘Mid toil and tribulation,
and tumult of her war,
she waits the consummation
of peace forevermore;
till with the vision glorious
her longing eyes are blest,
and the great church victorious
shall be the church at rest.Verse 4
Yet she on earth hath union
With God the Three in One,
And with the saints, communion
With those whose rest is won;
O happy ones and holy!
Lord give us grace that we,
Like them, the meek and lowly,
On high may dwell with Thee.
Offertory Hymn
Verse 1
Take my life and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.Verse 2
Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee,
Swift and beautiful for Thee.Verse 5
Take my will and make it Thine,
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is thine own.
It shall be Thy royal throne.
It shall be Thy royal throne.
Verse 1
Let us build a house
where love can dwell
And all can safely live,
A place where
saints and children tell
How hearts learn to forgive.
Built of hopes and dreams and visions,
Rock of faith and vault of grace;
Here the love of Christ shall end divisions;Refrain
All are welcome, all are welcome
All are welcome in this placeVerse 2
Let us build a house where prophets speak,
And words are strong and true,
Where all God's children dare to seek
To dream God's reign anew.
Here the cross shall stand as witness
And a symbol of God's grace;
Here as one we claim the faith of Jesus;Refrain
All are welcome, all are welcome
All are welcome in this placeVerse 3
Let us build a house where love is found
In water, wine and wheat:
A banquet hall on holy ground,
Where peace and justice meet.
Here the love of God, through Jesus,
Is revealed in time and space;
As we share in Christ the feast that frees us:Refrain
All are welcome, all are welcome,
All are welcome in this place.Verse 4
Let us build a house
Where hands will reach
Beyond the wood and stone
To heal and strengthen, serve and teach,
And live the Word they’ve known.
Here the outcast and the stranger
Bear the image of God’s face;
Let us bring an end to fear and danger.Refrain
All are welcome, all are welcome,
All are welcome in this place.
Recessional Hymn
The Church is Where Men Are
Verse 1
The Church is where men are
For there we find Christ
He's hidden behind
Every face we behold
By saying we're Christians
We must be on guard
Because through our actions
The truth will unfoldRefrain
Let our light shine
For all to see
Serving both friend and enemy
Since He died for us
Let us live for Him
And be His disciples eternallyVerse 2
The Church is where Christ is
And Christ dwells in men
And folks everywhere
Are made by the Lord
What we do to others
We do to Him
By judging our neighbour
We spell our rewardRefrain
Let our light shine
For all to see
Serving both friend and enemy
Since He died for us
Let us live for Him
And be His disciples eternallyVerse 3
The Church is where men are
And we are the Church
It is from the fruit
One discovers the tree
We are silent witnesses
Living the Mass
By taking Him with us
Wherever we beRefrain
Let our light shine
For all to see
Serving both friend and enemy
Since He died for us
Let us live for Him
And be His disciples eternally
