ANTIPHON
I take no delight in the sinner’s death  
But delight in his coversion
.1 )Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger
   or discipline me in your wrath.
  Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am faint;
  heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony.

Sometimes I fall to my knees and pray, come Jesus come
Let today be the day, some - times I feel like I'm gonna break
But I hold on to you and you won't  let  me go
So many poor and broken souls
Bring them to me – I'll make them whole

REFRAIN
Come Jesus come, we've been waiting so long
For the day You return to heal ev'ry hurt and right ev'ry wrong

   

1 )Who has carried the weight of all our sins

Who has died and rose to life again  

He who is both God and Man            

Who crushed all  the devil’s plans

1) On this the first of all the days,           
when you  finished  creating the world,
the day dear Lord you conquered death
and rose again to set us free,

2) Everyday you grace fill us
With your word and body and blood
Everyday you transform us
By your Spirit's fire of love 

REFRAIN

A) O Jesus raise our souls to you;
that we fully share your life,

ALL holy, everlasting light,
Our hope in our exile  night
though frail, we now confess your name
and beg you, hear our humble prayer.

O Spirit renew and reform us
Teach us how in you to pray

1) Deep in the subway night
We heard a baby’s  cry    
With bombs blasting loud above
We heard a mothers lullaby
Sweet and full of love
Grace falling on all of us

2) We all joined her love song
And through her love we became strong
By a baby’s loud cry
And a mom’s sweet lullaby

 1 ) You are the Lord  of mercy                                                                    
Help us to  see
How we all need your gracious mercy
Spirit of truth and love help me to be 
Mercy to everyone as you are with me

REFRAIN 
**You are the Lord of mercy
To all who seek  the Truth

1 In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
This cornerstone, this solid Ground,
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my all in all,
Here in the love of Christ I stand

2 Come bring us home  O Jesus come
More glorious than of  all the suns
You give us grace help us to cope

1 ) Before  the throne of God above                               
I have a strong and perfect plea             
A great High Priest whose name is Love              

1) O church, arise and put your armor on
Hear the call of Christ our king
For now the weak can say that they are strong
In the strength that God has given.
With shield of faith and belt of truth
We'll stand against the devil's lies;
An army bold whose battle cry is "Love!"
Reaching out to those in darkness.

1) He is our way, He is the truth, our life we praise Him
He is our God forever exalted and we love to praise His name             

2) He is exalted our King is exalted on high, and we praise  Him
He is exalted forever exalted   and we  praise your name

REFRAIN
He is our Lord, forever His truth shall reign.     
Heaven and earth, rejoice in His holy name
We exalt him our king we exalt on high

1 Wonderful merciful Saviour
Precious Redeemer and Friend
Who would have thought that a Lamb could    
Rescue the souls of men,  Oh You rescue the souls of men

Our lives flow on in endless song;
Above earth's lamentation,           
We hear the sweet, though far-off hymn
That hails a new creation
 

1) O God, You are three persons in love
Divine love one in Trinity  
All goodness   truth and beauty,
Are Reflections of  your divine  glory

O Author of eternal praise,
who give to all who live by faith
the Spirit of your sev’nfold grace,
Who leads us to seek his glorious face

REFRAIN
Hear my voice be quiet and still
Trust deeply in me and you will

1 All glorious son of the all Holy Father
Most humble son of the most humble Mary

Your body and blood your very self
You sustain me to eternal life
O Christ within me     O  Christ within me

RERAIN
You give us your  Holy Spirit
And he teaches us  everything
He leads us to.become holy
Like  our Heavenly Father wills us to be 

St. Paul in his letter to the Colossians urges us to set our minds on things above. That we should become heavenly-minded.  We were created to be - to live in ecstasy with our Triune God and all the angels and saints forever -sharing in a human way in divine life in a heavenly atmosphere. Pope Benedict in his trilogy on Jesus of Nazareth calls this reality the definitive "evolutionary" step in human existence that is hard for us to grasp. In his Letters, St Paul's vivid description of this difficulty says  - what eye has not seen, nor ear has not heard nor the human heart conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him. Throughout scripture The Good Lord does give is glimpses of the Heavenly reality for us to reflect on and yearn for.
 

God of day and God of darkness,
Now we stand before the night.
As the shadows stretch and deepen,
Come and make our darkness bright.
All creation still is groaning
For the dawning of your might.
When the Son of peace and justice                  
Fills the earth with His radiant light.

Come Lord Jesus  for you we  yearn
To set us free and live fully
Our love and hearts brightly burn
 

O God whom earth,  sea and sky
adore, acclaim, and glorify,
O  creator of the universe 
Mary you bore in your cloistered womb.

REFRAIN
He chose you most humble lady

         
Ant.  May the Lord be blessed day after Day
May his Name  always be hallowed
  
1 Let God arise, let his foes be scattered. 
2 Let those who hate him flee before him.

Deepen our  love for you, O Lord
who grant us pardon for our faults,
that you may have compassion,  O Lord,                               
on  us you cleanse from guilt and sin.

Once we taste your   divine fire
