Come and Praise Him

COME AND PRAISE HIM

Come and praise him, royal priesthood.

Come and worship, holy nation.

Worship Jesus, our Redeemer.

He is risen, King of glory.

Christ Be Beside Me

CHRIST BE BESIDE ME

Traditional Gaelic melody

By:  James Quinn

                        I

Christ be beside me, Christ be before me,

Christ be behind me, King of my heart.

Christ be within me, Christ be below me,

Christ be above me, never to part.

                        II

Christ on my right hand, Christ on my left hand,

Christ all around me, shield in the strife.

Christ in my sleeping, Christ in my sitting,

Christ in my rising, light of my life.

                        III

Christ be in all hearts, thinking about me.

Christ be on all tongues, telling of me.

Christ be the vision in eyes that see me,

in ears that hear me, Christ ever be.

City of God

CITY OF GOD

By: Dan Schutte, S.J.

Based on Isaiah 9:60; John 1

                        I

Awake from your slumber! Arise from your sleep!

A new day is downing, for all those who weep.

The people in darkness, have seen a great light.

The Lord of our longing has conquered the night.

Refrain:

Let us build the city of God. 

May our tears be turned into dancing!

For the Lord, our light and our love,

Has turned the night into day!

                                   II

We are sons of the morning; we daughters of day,

The One who has loved us, has brightened our way.

The Lord of all kindness has called us to be

A light for his people  to set their hearts free.  (Refrain)

                                   III

God is Light; in Him there is no darkness.

Let us walk in his light,  His children, one and all.

Solo:

O comfort my people; make gentle your words,

Proclaim to my city the day of her birth.   (Refrain)

                                   IV

O city of gladness, now lift up you voice!

Proclaim the good tidings, that all may rejoice!  (Refrain)

Circle of Friends

Circle of Friends

By: Finbar O'Conor

                       I

You have friends, you are not alone

Thanks to them, you’re not on your own

You are strong, even when you feel small.

From the rain, they will shelter you

In your pain they will comfort you

They will always pick you up when you fall.

Chorus:

Circle of friends, all around you

Circle of friends, strong and true

Circle of friends, always there for you.

                      II

Even when you are far apart

To your friends you’re joined heart to heart

Far away, you are not on your own.

You’re not there, but they think of you

In their prayers they remember you

You are never, ever truly alone.

Be Still, for the Presence of the Lord

BE STILL FOR THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD

By: David Evans

                      I

Be still, for the presence of the Lord,

The Holy One is here,

Come, bow before him now,

With reverence and fear, in him no sin is found,

We stand on holy ground.

Be still, for the presence of the Lord,

The Holy One is here.

                    II

Be still, for the glory of the Lord,

Is shining all around, He burns with holy fire

With splendor He is crowned, 

How awesome is the sight, 

Our radiant King of light

Be still, for the glory of the Lord,

Is shining all around.

                  III

Be still, for the power of the Lord,

Is moving in this place. 

He comes to cleanse and heal

To minister His grace, 

No work too hard for Him

In faith receive from Him. 

Be still, for the power of the 

Lord, is moving in this place.
