IN THE LIGHT OF THE WORD

(SVD song)

On this day,
we praise you o God,
for the joys and tears
and for the breath of life;
on this day,
we thank you o God,
serving you and
all is enough reward.
 IN THE LIGHT OF THE WORD
(SVD song)

Kindle in us the fire of your love

and your Spirit take not from us.
From the dark
and the evil of the night
bring us to the dawn
of your everlasting light.
 IN THE LIGHT OF THE WORD
(SVD song)

Gather your people together

at the breaking of the bread,
with your light
renew the face of the earth.
From this day on
and tomorrow give us new birth,
we ask you this
in the light of the Word.
 IN THE LIGHT OF THE WORD
(SVD song)

May the darkness of sin

and the night of unbelief,
vanish before the light of the Word
and the Spirit of grace,
and may the Heart of Jesus
live in the hearts of all. AMEN.
 IN THE LIGHT OF THE WORD
(SVD song)

Gather your people together

at the breaking of the bread,
with your light
renew the face of the earth.
From this day on
and tomorrow give us new birth,
we ask you this
in the light of the Word.

We ask you this in

the light of the Word.

Called by the father,

his word to see,
hear and feel
His word to read and
share in openness
to the guiding spirit

To do the will of God,

to the Disciples-chaste,
poor, obedient
Immerse in the
life of the Trinity.

Called like St. Arnold

just like word made flesh

To follow Jesus Christ

Chorus :
Sent by Jesus,
we live together as brothers
from many cultures
We pass over to be with others
offering and receiving good news
with respect, understanding,
compassion and love
 SVD SPIRITUALITY SONG

Led by the spirit we enter,

joyfully full of hope
We serve, share, become one with
all the people
With those on the frontiers of our
faith and the margin of society

Bridge :

And so we witness
and help to build a loving
communion of all humanity
And a communion of humanity
with the Triune God
who loves us
