Down in Adoration Falling
Filed under: D | Posted: Apr 14th, 2012

Down in adoration falling,
Lo! the sacred Host we hail,
Lo! oe’r ancient forms departing
Newer rites of grace prevail;
Faith for all defects supplying,
Where the feeble senses fail.

To the everlasting Father,
And the Son Who reigns on high
With the Holy Spirit proceeding
Forth from each eternally,
Be salvation, honor blessing,
Might and endless majesty.

Lully, lulla, thou little tiny child,
By by, lully lullay, thou little tiny child,
By by, lully lullay.

O sisters too, How may we do
For to preserve this day
This poor youngling,
For whom we do sing,
By by, lully lullay?

Lully, lulla, thou little tiny child,
By by, lully lullay, thou little tiny child,
By by, lully lullay.

Herod, the King, In his raging,
Charged he hath this day
His men of might,
In his own sight,
All young children to slay.

Lully, lulla, thou little tiny child,
By by, lully lullay, thou little tiny child,
By by, lully lullay.

That woe is me, Poor child for thee!
And ever morn and day,
For thy parting
Nor say nor sing
By by, lully lullay!

Bring Flowers of the Rarest
Filed under: B | Posted: Apr 12th, 2012

Bring flowers of the fairest,
Bring flowers of the rarest,
From garden and woodland
And hillside and vale;
Our full hearts are swelling,
Our Glad voices telling
The praise of the loveliest
Rose of the vale.

O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May,
O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May.

Our voices ascending,
In harmony blending,
Oh! Thus may our hearts turn
Dear Mother, to thee;
Oh! Thus shall we prove thee
How truly we love thee,
How dark without Mary
Life’s journey would be.

O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May,
O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May.

O Virgin most tender,
Our homage we render,
Thy love and protection,
Sweet Mother, to win;
In danger defend us,
In sorrow befriend us,
And shield our hearts
From contagion and sin.

O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May,
O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May.

Of Mothers the dearest,
Oh, wilt thou be nearest,
When life with temptation
Is darkly replete?
Forsake us, O never!
Our hearts be they ever
As Pure as the lilies
We lay at thy feet.

O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May,
O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May.

LET THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH
Filed under: L | Posted: Mar 28th, 2012

Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me
Let there be peace on earth
The peace that was meant to be

 

With God as our Father
Brothers all are we
Let me walk with my brother
In perfect harmony

 

Let peace begin with me
Let this be the moment now
With every step I take
Let this be my solemn vow

 

To take each moment
And live each moment
In peace eternally
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me
Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me

WE ARE THE REASON
Filed under: W | Posted: Mar 27th, 2012

As little children, we would dream of Christmas morn
And all the gifts and toys we knew we’d find
But we never realised a baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives

 

Chorus:
We are the reason that He gave his life
We are the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live

 

As the years went by we learned more about gifts
The giving of ourselves and what that means
On a dark and cloudy day a man hung crying in the rain
All because of love, all because of love

 

(Repeat Chorus)

 

I’ve finally found the reason for living
It’s in giving every part of my heart to Him
In all that I do, every word that I say
I’ll be giving my all just for Him, for Him and

 

(Repeat Chorus)

 

He is the reason we live

Refrain: 
Sing a new song unto the Lord
Let your song be sung from mountains high
Sing a new song unto the Lord
Singing alleluia

 

Yahweh’s people dance for joy
Oh come before the Lord
And play for Him on glad tambourines
And let your trumpet sound

Rise oh children from your sleep
Your Savior now has come
He has turned your sorrow to joy
And filled your soul with song

Glad my soul for I have seen
The glory of the Lord
The trumpets sound
The dead shall be raised
I know my Savior lives

IN HIM ALONE
Filed under: I | Posted: Mar 24th, 2012

Refrain:In Him alone is our hope
(in him alone is our hope)
In Him alone is our strength
(unto him i pour out my heart)
In Him alone are we justified
In Him alone are we saved
(he alone will save me with his love and mercy)

What have we to offer
That does not fade or wither
Can the world ever satisfy
The emptiness in our hearts
In vain, we deny
(Refrain)

When will you cease running
In search of hallow meaning
Let His love fill the hunger
In your soul till it overflows with joy
You yearn to know
(Refrain)

ONE MORE GIFT
Filed under: O | Posted: Mar 22nd, 2012

Refrain:

If there’s one more gift I’d ask of you Lord
It would be peace here on earth
As gentle as your children’s laughter
All around, all around

Your people have grown weary
Of living in confusion
When will we realize
That neither heaven is at peace
When we will live not in peace

Repeat Refrain

Grant me serenity within
For the confusions around
Are mere reflections of what’s within
What’s within in me

Repeat Refrain

TAKE AND RECEIVE
Filed under: T | Posted: Mar 21st, 2012

Take and receive O Lord, my liberty

Take all my will, my mind, my memory

All things I hold and all I own are Thine

Thine was the gift to Thee I all resign

 

Do Thou direct, and govern all and sway

Do what Thy will command, and I’ll obey

Only Thy grace, Thy love on me bestow

These make me rich all else will I forego
