Song Sheet May 11th

Entrance Hymn: How Can I Keep From Singing

My life flows on in endless song; Above earth’s lamentation. I hear the real though far off hymn that hails a new creation.

(Refrain) No storm can shake my inmost calm, while to that rock I’m clinging. Since love is Lord of heaven and earth, how can I keep from singing?

Through all the tumult and the strife, I hear that music ringing; It sounds and echoes in my soul; How can I keep from singing? (To Refrain)

What though the tempest ‘round me roar, I hear the truth it liveth. What though the darkness ‘round me close, songs in the night it giveth. (To Refrain)

Offertory Hymn: Shepherd of Souls

Shepherd of souls, refresh and bless Your chosen pilgrim flock With manna in the wilderness,

With water from the rock.

We would not live by bread alone, But by your word of grace, In strength of which we travel on

To our abiding place.

Be known to us in breaking bread, But do not then depart; Savior, abide with us, and spread

Your table in our heart.

Lord, sup with us in love divine; Your body and your blood, That living bread, that heav'nly wine,

Be our immortal food.

Communion Solo: Like a Shepherd

Recessional Hymn: Hail Holy Queen

Hail holy queen enthroned above Oh Maria! Hail mother of mercy and of love Oh Maria!

(Refrain) Triumph all ye cherubim; Sing with us ye seraphim. Heaven and earth resound the hymn Salve, salve, salve, Regina.

Our life, our sweetness here below Oh Maria! Our hope in sorrow and in woe Oh Maria! (To Refrain)

And when our life breath leaves us, O Maria! Show us thy Son, Christ Jesus. O Maria! (To Refrain)
