Entrance Hymn: For the Beauty of the Earth
For the beauty of the earth, for the glory of the skies, for the love which from our birth over and around us lies: Lord of all, to you we raise this our hymn of grateful praise.
For the beauty of each hour, of the day and of the night, hill and vale, and tree and flower, sun and moon, and stars of light: Lord of all, to you we raise this our hymn of grateful praise.
For the joy of human love, brother, sister, parent, child. Friends on earth and friends above; For all gentle thoughts and mild: Lord of all, to you we raise this our hymn of grateful praise.
Offertory Hymn: Be Thou My Vision
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart; Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night, Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word; I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son; Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Riches I heed not, or man's empty praise, Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart, High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
High King of Heaven, my victory won, May I reach Heaven's joys, O bright Heaven's Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall, Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.
Communion Hymn: O Sacrament Most Holy
O Jesus, we adore you, who in your love divine, conceal your mighty Godhead in forms of bread and wine.
(Refrain) O sacrament most holy, O sacrament divine, all praise and all thanksgiving be every moment thine!
O Jesus, we adore you, our victim and our priest, whose precious blood and body become our sacred feast. (To Refrain)
O Jesus, we adore you, our Savior and our King, and with the saints and angels our humble homage bring. (To Refrain)
O Jesus, we adore you; Come, live in us we pray, that all our thoughts and actions be yours alone today. (To Refrain)
O come, all you who labor in sorrow and in pain; come, eat this bread from heaven; your peace and strength regain. (To Refrain)
Recessional Hymn: God of Our Fathers
God of our fathers, whose almighty hand leads forth in beauty all the starry band of shining worlds in splendor through the skies, our grateful songs before thy throne arise.
Thy love divine hath led us in the past, in this free land by Thee our lot is cast; be thou our ruler, guardian, guide and stay, thy word our law, thy paths our chosen way.
From war's alarms, from deadly pestilence, be thy strong arm our ever sure defense; Thy true religion in our hearts increase, thy bounteous goodness nourish us in peace.
