Entrance Hymn

God of Might and God of Mercy

Verse 1
God of might and God of mercy,
Ever ancient, ever new,
We have gathered as Your people
To declare our faith in You.
Drawn by hope, yet still uncertain,
We implore you to come come near.
Show your; draw back the curtain
To reveal Your presence here.Verse 2
God of power and Gof of promise,
We have sought You in Your Word,
So mysteriously spoken
And so falteringly heard
In the deeds of epic stories,
In the dreams of prophets past,
Through the Christ who lives among us
And His Spirit unsurpassedVerse 3
God of symbol, God of substance,
By Your sacramental signs,
We encounter You among us
In such power-filled designs.
Help us recognise Your presence
In the gifts of field and vine:
Broken bread, a Christic body;
Out-poured cup, His love divine.

Offertory Hymn

In Bread We Bring You, Lord

Verse 1
In bread we bring you, Lord,
our bodies' labour.
In wine we offer you
our spirits’ grief.
We do not ask you, Lord,
who is my neighbour?
But stand united now,
one in belief.Oh we have gladly heard
your Word, your holy Word,
and now in answer, Lord,
our gifts we bring.
Our selfish hearts make true,
our failing faith renew,
our lives belong to you,
our Lord and King.Verse 2
The bread we offer you
is blessed and broken,
and it becomes for us
our spirits’ food.
Over the cup we bring
your Word is spoken;
make it your gift to us,
your healing blood.Take all that daily toil,
plants in our heart’s poor soil;
take all we start and spoil,
each hopeful dream,
the chances we have missed,
the graces we resist;
Lord, in thy Eucharist,
take and redeem.
