Song Sheet February 1st
Entrance Hymn: All are Welcome
Let us build a house where love can dwell and all can safely live A place where saints and children tell how hearts learn to forgive. Built of hopes and dreams and visions Rock of faith and vault of grace Here the love of Christ shall end divisions All are welcome, all are welcome All are welcome in this place.
Let us build a house where prophets speak and words are strong and true Where all God's children dare to seek to dream God's reign anew. Here the cross shall stand as witness and a symbol of God's grace. Here as one we claim the faith of Jesus All are welcome, all are welcome All are welcome in this place.
Let us build a house where love is found In water, wine and wheat: A banquet hall on holy ground Where peace and justice meet. Here the love of God, through Jesus Is revealed in time and space As we share in Christ the feast that frees us All are welcome, all are welcome All are welcome in this place.

Recessional Hymn: Alleluia! Sing to Jesus
Alleluia! Sing to Jesus, His the scepter, his the throne Alleluia! His the triumph, His the victory alone Hark! The songs of peaceful Zion thunder like a mighty flood Jesus out of every nation hath redeemed us by his blood.
Alleluia! Not as orphans are we left in sorrow now Alleluia! He is near us, faith believes nor questions how Though the cloud from sight received him when the forty days were o'er Shall our hearts forget his promise, I am with you evermore?
Alleluia! Bread of angels, here on earth our food and stay Alleluia! Here the sinful flee to thee from day to day Intercessor, Friend of sinners, earth's Redeemer, plead for me Where the songs of all the sinless sweep across the crystal sea.
Alleluia! King eternal, thee the Lord of Lords we own Alleluia! Born of Mary, earth your footstool, heaven your throne You within the veil have entered, robed in flesh, our great High Priest Here on earth both Priest and Victim in the Eucharistic Feast...
