All Creatures of our God and King

Verse 1
All creatures of our God and King,
Lift up your voices, let us sing:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Bright, burning sun with golden beams,
Soft, silver moon that gently gleams,
O praise Him, O praise Him!
Alleluia, alleluia,
Alleluia!Verse 2
All you with mercy in your heart,
Forgiving others, take your part,
O sing now! Alleluia!
All you that pain and sorrow bear,
Praise God, and cast on Him your care.
O praise Him, O praise Him!
Alleluia, alleluia,
Alleluia!Verse 3
And even you, most gentle death,
Waiting to hush our final breath,
O praise Him! Alleluia!
You lead back home the child of God,
For Christ our Lord that way has trod.
O praise Him, O praise Him!
Alleluia, alleluia,
Alleluia!Verse 4
Let all things their Creator bless,
And worship him in humbleness,
O praise Him! Alleluia!
Praise God the Father, praise the Son,
And praise the Spirit, Three in One.
O praise Him, O praise Him!
Alleluia, alleluia,
Alleluia!

Shepherd of Souls

Verse 1
Shepherd of souls, refresh and bless
Your chosen pilgrim flock
With manna in the wilderness,
With water from the rock.Verse 2
We would not live by bread alone,
But by your word of grace,
In strength of which we travel on
To our abiding place.Verse 3
Be known to us in breaking bread,
But do not then depart;
Saviour, abide with us, and spread
Your table in our heart.Verse 4
Lord, sup with us in love divine;
Your body and your blood,
That living bread, that heav'nly wine,
Be our immortal food.

Anointing with Chrism

Veni, Creator Spiritus

1. Veni, creator Spiritus
mentes tuorum visita,
imple superna gratia,
quae tu creasti pectora.(1. Come, Holy Spirit, Creator blest,
and in our souls take up Thy rest;
come with Thy grace and heavenly aid
to fill the hearts which Thou hast made.)2. Qui diceris Paraclitus,
altissimi donum Dei,
fons vivus, ignis, caritas
et spiritalis unctio.(2. O comforter, to Thee we cry,
O heavenly gift of God Most High,
O fount of life and fire of love,
and sweet anointing from above.)3. Tu septiformis munere,
digitus paternae dexterae
tu rite promissum Patris
sermone ditans guttura.(3. Thou in Thy sevenfold gifts are known;
Thou, finger of God's hand we own;
Thou, promise of the Father, Thou
Who dost the tongue with power imbue.)4. Accende lumen sensibus,
infunde amorem cordibus,
infirma nostri corporis,
virtute firmans perpeti.(4. Kindle our sense from above,
and make our hearts o'erflow with love;
with patience firm and virtue high
the weakness of our flesh supply.)5. Hostem repellas longius
pacem que dones protinus;
ductore sic te praevio
vitemus omne noxium.(5. Far from us drive the foe we dread,
and grant us Thy peace instead;
so shall we not, with Thee for guide,
turn from the path of life aside.)6. Per te sciamus de Patrem
noscamus atque Filium,
te utriusque Spiritum
credamus omni tempore.(6. Oh, may Thy grace on us bestow
the Father and the Son to know;
and Thee, through endless times confessed,
of both the eternal Spirit blest.)7. Deo Patri sit gloria,
et Filio qui a mortuis
Surrexit, ac Paraclito,
in saeculorum saecula.(7. Now to the Father and the Son,
Who rose from death, be glory given,
with Thou, O Holy Comforter,
henceforth by all in earth and heaven.)

Christ is Made the Sure Foundation

Verse 1
Christ is made the sure foundation,
Christ, the head and cornerstone;
Chosen of the Lord, and precious,
Binding all the church in one:
Holy Zion's help forever,
And her confidence alone.Verse 2
Praise and honour to the Father,
praise and honour to the Son,
praise and honour to the Spirit,
Ever Three, and ever One,
One in might, and one in glory,
While unending ages run.
