Song Sheet October 25th
Entrance: Love Divine, All Loves Excelling
Love divine, all loves excelling, joy of heaven to earth come down! Fix in us your humble dwelling; All your faithful mercies crown. Jesus, source of all compassion, love unbounded, love all pure; Visit us with your salvation, Let your love in us endure.
Come, almighty to deliver; Let us all your life receive; Suddenly return and never, never more your temples leave. Lord, we would be always blessing, serve you as your hosts above, pray, and praise you without ceasing, glory in your precious love.
Finish then your new creation, pure and spotless, gracious Lord; Let us see your great salvation perfectly in you restored. Changed from glory into glory, till in heaven we take our place, till we sing before the almighty, lost in wonder, love, and praise.
Offertory: Ubi Caritas
(Refrain) Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est. Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est
We gather together in the love of Christ; let each one be glad in him and rejoice. Our God is alive, the God of love is near; so love one another with heart sincere. (To Refrain)
We, the many become one body as the Spirit binds, and we seek to be one in Christ and one in heart and mind. Let all quarrels, all division, all our conflict cease; then will Christ truly dwell among us as our Lord of Peace. (To Refrain)
Then, joined with the blessed, filled with hope and grace, dear Lord, in great glory may we see your face. Our joy none can measure, joy that knows no end, resounding from endless age to age. Amen. (To Refrain)
Communion: Taste and See
(Refrain)Taste and see, taste and see the goodness of the Lord. O taste and see, taste and see the goodness of the Lord, of the Lord.
I will bless the Lord at all times. Praise shall always be on my lips; my soul shall glory in the Lord for God has been so good to me. (To Refrain)
Glorify the Lord with me. Together let us all praise God's name. I called the Lord who answered me; from all my troubles I was set free. (To Refrain)
Worship the Lord, all you people. You'll want for nothing if you ask. Taste and see that the Lord is good; in God we need put all our trust. (To Refrain)
Recessional: Let All Things Now Living
Let all things now living a song of thanksgiving to God our Creator triumphantly raise; Who fashioned and made us, protected and stayed us, by guiding us on to the end of our days. God’s banners are over us pure light goes before us, a pillar of fire shining forth in the night; Till shadows have vanished and darkness is banished, as forward we travel from light into light.
His law he enforces, the stars in their courses, the sun in its orbit obediently shine, The hills and the mountains, the rivers and fountains, the depths of the ocean proclaim God divine. We, too should be voicing our love and rejoicing with glad adoration, a song let us raise: Till all things now living unite in thanksgiving, to God in the highest, hosanna and praise.
