Song Sheet February 22nd

Entrance: Lord Who Throughout These Forty Days

Lord, Who throughout these forty days For us didst fast and pray, Teach us with you to mourn our sins And close by you to stay.

As you with Satan did contend, And did the victory win, O give us strength in you to fight, In you to conquer sin.

As you did hunger bear, and thirst, So teach us, gracious Lord, To die to self, and always live By your most holy Word.

And through these days of penitence, And through your passiontide, For evermore in life and death, O Lord, with us abide.

Abide with us that when this life Of suffering is past, An Easter of unending joy We may attain at last.

Offertory: Be Still and Know

Be still and know that I am God. You are my chosen one, to whom my love I give. My life is yours, in you I live. Be still, be still and know that I am God.

Be still and know that I am God. You are my chosen one, I came to set you free. Give me your cares and rest in me. Be still, be still and know that I am God.

Be still and know that I am God. You are my chosen one, to whom I show my ways. My love is with you all your days. Be still, be still and know that I am God.

Communion: Be With Me Lord

(Refrain) Be with me Lord when I am in trouble, be with me Lord I pray.

You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord most high, who abide in the shadow of our God,

say to the Lord: “My refuge and fortress, the God in whom I trust.” (To Refrain)

No evil shall befall you, no pain come near, for the angels stand close by your side,

guarding you always and bearing you gently, watching over your life. (To Refrain)

Those who cling to the Lord live secure in God's Love, lifted high those who trust in God's name,

call on the Lord, who will never forsake you. God will bring you salvation and joy. (To Refrain)

Recessional: Forty Days and Forty Nights

Forty days and forty nights you were fasting in the wild; Forty days and forty nights tempted, and yet undefiled.

Shall not we your sorrow share and from worldly joys abstain, fasting with unceasing prayer, strong with you to suffer pain?

Then if Satan on us press, flesh or spirit to assail, victor in the wilderness, grant we may not faint nor fail!

So shall we have peace divine: Holier gladness ours shall be; round us, too, shall angels shine, such as served you faithfully.
