Be still for the presence of the Lord

The Holy One is here

Come bow before Him now
With reverence and fear
In Him no sin is found
We stand on holy ground
Be still for the presence of the Lord
The Holy One is here
Be still for the glory of the Lord
Is shining all around
He burns with holy fire
With splendor He is crowned
How awesome is the sight
Our radiant King of Light
Be still for the glory of the Lord
Is shining all around

Be still for the power of the Lord

Is moving in this place
He comes to cleanse and heal
To minister His grace
No work too hard for Him
In faith receive from Him
Be still for the power of the Lord
Is moving in this place

Make me a channel of your peace.

Where there is hatred let me bring your love.
Where there is injury, your pardon, Lord
And where there's doubt, true faith in you.
Make me a channel of your peace
Where there's despair in life, let me bring hope
Where there is darkness, only light
And where there's sadness, ever joy.
Oh, Master grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love with all my soul.

Make me a channel of your peace

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
In giving of ourselves that we receive
And in dying that we're born to eternal life.

Bread of Life, Truth eternal,

Broken now to set us free,
The risen Christ, his saving power,
Is here in bread and wine for me.
Lord, I know I am not worthy to receive you.
You speak the words and I am healed.
Here at the table, loves mystery
One bread, one cup one family.
Lord, by your cross you reconciled us to
the Father,
We have only to believe.
Your sacrifice, our victory.
Now by your blood we are redeemed.

Lord, you gave your people manna in the desert

Still you fulfil our every need.
Lord when we hunger, Lord when we thirst,
We come to you and we receive (the bread of)

Brother, sister, let me serve you,

Let me be as Christ to you;
Pray that I may have the grace to
Let you be my servant too.

I will weep when you are weeping

When you laugh Ill laugh with you
I will share your joy and sorrow
Till weve seen the journey through

We are pilgrims on a journey,

We are travellers on the road;
We are here to help each other
Walk the mile and bear the load.

When we sing to God in heaven

We shall find such harmony,
Born of all weve known together
Of Christs love and agony.

I will hold the Christ-light for you

In the night-time of your fear;
I will hold my hand out to you,
Speak the peace you long to hear.

Brother, sister, let me serve you,

Let me be as Christ to you;
Pray that I may have the grace to
Let you be my servant too.

Blest are you, Lord, God of all creation,

Thanks to your goodness this bread we offer;
Fruit of the earth, work of our hands,
It will become the bread of life.
Blessed be God! Blessed be God!
Blessed be God forever! Amen!
Blessed be God! Blessed be God!
Blessed be God forever! Amen!

Blest are you, Lord, God of all creation,

Thanks to your goodness this wine we offer;
Fruit of the earth, work of our hands,
It will become the cup of life.

Open my eyes Lord,

Help me to see your face.
Open my eyes Lord,
Help me to see.
Open my ears Lord,
Help me to hear your voice,
Open my ears Lord,
Help me to hear.

Open my heart Lord,

Help me to love like you.
Open my heart Lord,
Help me to Love
I live within you,
Deep in your heart, O Love.
I live within you,
Rest now in me.

Turn your thoughts on this occasion

To those who fought and died in the war.
Years have passed and time has forgotten,
But we will remember the soldiers once more.

Lord the light of your love is shining

in the midst of the darkness shining;
Jesus, Light of the world, shine upon us,
set us free by the truth you now bring us,

Come, let us go, up to the mountain of the Lord,

to the temple of his Holy Spirit.
Come, let us go, up to the mountain of the Lord,
and glorify his Holy Name.
Through noise and confusion
our witness shall be heard.
we raise our voices
to proclaim your Holy Word.
Heavenly Father,
receive my brokenness.
Change me, rearrange me,
restore my worthiness.

With banners lifted,

we approach his glorious throne.
By graces gifted,
his power shall be known.
Zion, holy mountain,
we turn our eyes to you.
Lead us ever closer,
in spirit and in truth.

No watch for Gods coming, be patient till then;

Like sunshine hell brighten all women and men;
Who hope in the Lord will possess fertile land;
The poor he will welcome and grasp by the hand.

Our steps are distracted, God watches our path;

He guides us and holds us and saves us from wrath,
And though we may fall, we will not go headlong,
For God gives sound footing and keeps us from wrong.
So wait for his coming, be patient till then;
The wicked are armed and would kill honest men.
Their arms shall be broken, no refuge theyll see,
But saved are the needy, by Gods on decree.
Now those who do evil will wither like grass,
Like green of the Springtime they fade and they pass,
So trust in the Lord and to him give your life,
Hell bring hearts desires and peace in our strife.

The voice of God goes out to all the world;

His glory speaks across the universe.
The great King's herald cries from star to star:
With power, with justice, he will walk his way.
The Lord has said: 'Receive my messenger,
My promise to the world, my pledge made flesh,
A lamp to every nation, light from light':
With power, with justice, he will walk his way.
The broken reed he will not trample down,
Nor set his heel upon the dying flame.
He binds the wounds, and health is in his hand:
With power, with justice, he will walk his way.
Anointed with the Spirit and with power,
He comes to crown with comfort all the weak,
To show the face of justice to the poor:
With power, with justice, he will walk his way.
His touch will bless the eyes that darkness held,
The lame shall run, the halting tongue shall sing,
And prisoners laugh in light and liberty:
With power, with justice, he will walk his way.

The angel Gabriel from heaven came,

his wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame;
"All hail," said he, "thou lowly maiden Mary,
most highly favoured lady," Gloria!
"For know a blessed Mother thou shalt be,
all generations laud and honour thee,
thy Son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold,
most highly favoured lady," Gloria!
Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head,
"To me be as it pleaseth God," she said,
"my soul shall laud and magnify his holy Name."
Most highly favoured lady, Gloria!
Of her, Emmanuel, the Christ, was born
in Bethlehem, all on a Christmas morn,
and Christian folk throughout the world will ever say-"Most highly favored lady," Gloria!

Little donkey, little donkey

On the dusty road
Got to keep on plodding onwards
With your precious load.

Little donkey, little donkey

On the dusty road
There are wise men waiting for a
Sign to bring them here.

Been a long time, little donkey

Through the winters night
Dont give up now, little donkey
Bethlehems in sight.

Do not falter, little donkey

Theres a star ahead
It will guide you, little donkey
To a cattle shed.

Chorus
Ring out those bells tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem
Follow that star tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem.

Little donkey, little donkey

Had a heavy day
Little donkey
Carry Mary safely on her way

Chorus
Ring out those bells tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem
Follow that star tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem

O little town of Bethlehem

How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight

How silently, how silently

The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven.
No ear may hear His coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive him still,
The dear Christ enters in.

For Christ is born of Mary

And gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And Peace to men on earth

O holy Child of Bethlehem

Descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born to us today
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel

1. Away in a manger, no crib for his bed,

The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head;
The stars in the heavens looked down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.
2. The cattle are lowing, the poor baby wakes;
But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes.
I love thee, Lord Jesus; look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.
3. Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask thee to stay
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care,
And fit us for heaven, to live with thee there.

I had a dream that I was standing on a hillside,

And all the lights of town were shining far below
When up in the air beautiful voices
Sing a new song, let everyone know

Oh, and love shone down

Over the hills and over the valleys
Oh, and love shone down
Over the world.
Somebody spoke to me, I knew it was an angel.
He said, Theres something that I think you ought to know.
Then he just smiled, said, Dont be afraid now,
Sing a new song, let everyone know.
And then he told me all about the baby Jesus,
How to find Him, where exactly I should go.
Then he was joined by millions of others
Sing a new song, let everyone know.
Well, did I dream, or was I really on that hillside
On that Christmas night so very long ago
When He was born, Jesus, our Saviour?
Sing a new song, let everyone know.

We three kings of Orient are

Bearing gifts we traverse afar.
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.
O star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect Light.
Born a king on Bethlehem's plain,
Gold I bring to crown Him again,
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign.
Chorus
Frankincense to offer have I.
Incense owns a Deity nigh.
Prayer and praising all men raising,
Worship Him, God on high.
Chorus

Myrrh is mine: it's bitter perfume

Breaths a life of gathering gloom.
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding dying,
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.

Chorus
Glorious now behold Him arise,
King and God and Sacrifice.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Sounds through the earth and skies.
Chorus

Ding dong merrily on high,

In heav'n the bells are ringing:
Ding dong! verily the sky
Is riv'n with angel singing.
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
E'en so here below, below,
Let steeple bells be swungen,
And "Io, io, io!"
By priest and people sungen.
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
Pray you, dutifully prime
Your matin chime, ye ringers;
May you beautifully rime
Your evetime song, ye singers.
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
