As the Deer Panteth for the waters
So my soul longeth after You
You alone are my hearts desire
And I long to worship You.

You alone are my strength, my shield
To you alone may my spirit yield,
You alone are my heart’s desire
And I long to worship You.

I love You more than gold and silver
Only you can satisfy
You alone are the real joy giver
And the apple of my eye.

You’re my friend and you are my brother
Even though You are a king
I love You more than any other,
So much more than anything.

1. As we gather on this morn
Celebrating freedom’s dawn,
Our young hearts to God we raise,
In thanksgiving and in praise.

2. God of nations hear our prayer,
Bless this land so great so fair,
May all strife within it cease.

3. Give it harmony and peace
May its people e’er be true,
To their country and to you.

4. As we face the future bright,
Trustfully we pray for light,
For our leaders that they may
Guide us wisely on our way. (Chorus)

5. May India’s daughters ever be
Conscious of their dignity,
May they e’er be good and great
In the home and in the state. (Chorus)

1. No one can live as an island,
Journeying through life alone.
Since we’re most loved by a mother,
Jesus gave us His own.

2. Be with us Mary, along the way,
Guide ev’ry step we take.
Lead us to Jesus your loving son.
Come with us, Mary, come.

3. When Jesus met with rejection,
Mary stood by the cross;
How can a mother desert her son?
She’ll also stand by us.

4. Help us, O star of the ocean,
Be with us in our strife,
When we are faced with temptation,
Tossed by the storms of life.

1. Bring flowers of the rarest, Bring blossoms the fairest
From garden and woodland, And hillside and dale,
Our full hearts are swelling, Our glad voices telling
The praise of the loveliest, Flower of the Vale.

O Mary we crown thee with blossoms today
Queen of the angels and queen of the May-2

2. Their lady they name thee, Their mistress proclaim thee
Ah! grant that thy children, On earth be as true,
As long as the bowers, Are radiant with flowers
As long as the azure, Shall keep its bright hue.

3. Our voices ascending, In harmony blending
O, thus may our hearts turn, Dear Mother, to thee.
And thus shall we prove thee, How truly we love thee,
How dark without Mary, Life’s journey would be.

When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

Count your blessings, name them one by one;
Count your blessings, see what God hath done;
Count your blessings, name them one by one;
Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.

Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings, ev’ry doubt will fly,
And you will be singing as the days go by.

So, amid the conflict, whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.

God is good, all the time
He put a song of praise in this heart of mine.
God is good, all the time
Through the darkest night His light will shine
God is good-2 all the time.
If you're walking through the valley,
and there're shadows all around.
Do not fear He will guide you,
He will keep you safe and sound.
He has promised to never leave you nor forsake you.
and His word is true.

1. The universe, night and day.
Tells of all your wonders,
You are our life and our light;
We shall praise you always.

2. You are the path which we tread,
You will lead us onward,
From every corner of earth
All the nations gather.

3. You lead us all by the hand,
To the heavenly kingdom,
Then at the end of all time,
You will come in glory.

It takes courage to answer a call,
It takes courage to give your all,
It takes courage to risk your name
It takes courage to be true,
It takes courage to dare What no other will share,
To be standing alone, One whom no one will own,
To be ready to stake for another man’s sake.
It takes courage to be true.
It takes courage to say what you know will not pay.
To give each one his share though there’ll be less to spare.
To be seeking no more than the neighbour next door.
It takes courage to be true.

1. Make me a channel of your peace
Where there is hatred, let me bring your love
Where there is injury, your pardon, Lord,
And where there’s doubt true faith in you.
Oh master, grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love with all my soul.

2. Make me a channel of your peace
Where there’s despair in life let me bring hope,
Where there’s darkness Lord, your shining light
And where there’s sadness every joy.

3. Make me a channel of your peace
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
In giving to all men that we receive
And in dying that we’re born to eternal life.

1. SWEET Agnes holy child, all purity,
Oh, may we, undefiled,
Be pure as thee
Ready our blood to shed,
Forth as the martyrs led,
The path of pain to tread,
and die like thee, like thee.

2. O gentle patroness,
Of holy youth,
Ask God all those to bless,
Who love the truth;
Oh, guide us on our way
Unto th’eternal day,
With hearts all pure and gay
Dear Saint like thine, like thine.

3. Look down and hear our prayer
From realms above,
Show us thy tender care,
Thy guiding love;
Oh, keep us in thy sight,
Till in th’ unclouded light,
Oh Heaven’s pure vision bright
We dwell with thee, with thee.

May we be a shining light to the nation
A shining light to the people of the earth
Till the whole world sees the glory of Your name
May your pure light shine through us.

May we bring a word of hope to the nations
A word of life to the peoples of the earth
Till the whole world knows
There’s salvation through Your name
May your mercy flow through us.

May we be a healing balm to the nations
A healing balm to the peoples of the earth
Till the whole world knows the power of Your name
May Your healing flow through us.

May we sing a song of joy to the nation
A song of praise to the peoples of the earth
Till the whole world rings with the praises of your name
May your song be sung through us.

May your kingdom come to the nations
Your will be done in the peoples of the earth
Till the whole world knows that Jesus Christ is Lord.
May your kindom come in us.
May your kindom come Amen.

The world stands in need of liberation, my Lord,
It still has to feel your power.
The blind and the deaf, the dumb and the maimed,
All need to feel your healing touch.
The world stands in need of liberation, my Lord,
It still has to learn to love.

1. There are those who have eyes but refuse to see
their inhumanity to men
There are those who have ears but refuse to hear
the cries of men in agony.

2. There are those who have mouths but refuse to speak
against injustice done to men
There are those who have hands but refuse to reach
them out in love and brotherhood.

3. There are those who have talents they do not use
to build a true community
And we know that we all have the talent to love
but leave it buried in ourselves.

1. You are my refuge, you are my fortress
You are my friend in need, you are my God
I will worship You with all of my heart
I will seek Your face all through my life
I will serve you Lord with all that I have

Here I am, Here I am O Lord (3) Here I am

2. You are my Saviour, you are my healer
You are my strength in need, you are my God

3. You are my shepherd, you are my comfort
You are my hiding place, you are my God

1. Oh, the love of my Lord is the essence
Of all that I love, here on earth
All the beauty I see, He has given to me
And His giving in gentle as silence

2. Every day, every hour, every moment
Have been blessed by the strength of His love,
At the turn of each tide, He is there at my side,
And his touch is as gentle as silence.

3. There’ve been times when I’ve turned from His presence
And I’ve walked other paths, other ways.
But I’ve called on His name in the dark of my shame
And His mercy was gentle as silence.

Sharing, if we would all keep sharing
Sharing all the things we have
Oh! what joy, what peace, and contentment
If we would keep sharing all we have.

1. There’d be so many hearts contented
There’d be so many less in pain
So many would be less afflicted
What joy and love would reign.

ref: So let’s keep sharing and sharing
All the good things we have
What better way is there to live together
Than sharing all we have.

2. Our joys would then all be redoubled
Our pain just half as hard to bear
There’d be so little cause for envy
For all would feel our love and care
So let’s keep sharing...........

3. The gifts of mind and heart we’re given
Are for the joy and good of all
The earthly riches sent by heaven
The needs of others should forestall.
So let’s keep ..............

1. Every tiny star that twinkles in the night sky.
Every drop of morning dew,
Every spark of fire blazing in the furnace
Every captivating view,
Every rainbow in the sky, every pretty butterfly.

CH: Tells the fascinating news to those who dare to hope,
And the message is:
God still loves the world!
God still, still loves the world,
So throw your life into his hand,
Day by day discern his plans:
God is passionately busy loving
You and me!

2. Every ocean wave that breaks on the sea-shore
Every stalk of golden wheat,
Every silver stream that gushes down the mountain,
Every drop of honey sweet,
Every eagle flying high,
Every worm that wriggles by....... (Repeat CH:)
Heart and mind and will that says

Ch: Let us Mingle together
Voices joyful and gay
Singing Hymns to our Mother
T’is her own month of May

Cling the choices of flowers
Search the woodland and grove
Wreath a crown for our Lady
As a pledge of our Love

What are fast fading roses
All the lilies that grow
Nothing worth of Mary
Has this world to bestow

Mary ask for her treasure,
One that each can impart,
Hear and grant her petition,
“Sinners, give me thy heart.”

Daily, daily sing to Mary,
Sing, my soul, her praises due.
All her feasts, her actions worship
With the heart’s devotion true.
Lost in wond’ring contemplation,
Be her Majesty confess’d.
Call her Mother, call her Virgin,
Happy Mother, Virgin blest.

She is mighty to deliver.
Call her, trust her lovingly.
When the tempest rages round thee,
She will calm the troubled sea.
Gifts of heaven she has given,
Noble Lady, to our race.
She, the Queen, who decks her subjects
With the light of God’s own grace.

Holy Virgin, by God’s decree, you were called eternally,
That He could give his son to our race,
Mary, we praise you, hail, full of grace!

Ch:Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!(2)

By your Faith and loving accord as the handmaid of the Lord,
You undertook God’s plan to embrace,
Mary, we thank you, hail, full of grace!

Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for the springing fresh from the word

Sweet the rain’s new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God’s recreation of the new day

My God loves me, His love will never end
He rests within my heart, for my God loves me

His gentle hand He stretches over me
Though storm – clouds threaten the day
He will set me free

My God loves me, His faithful love endures
And I will live like a child Held in love secure

Shepherd of my soul I give you full control,
Wherever You may lead I will foll–ow
I have made the choice to listen for Your voi–ce,
wherever you may lead will go.

Be it in a quiet pasture or by a gentle stream,
The Shepherd of my soul is by my side.
Should I face a mighty mountain or a valley dark and deep,
The Shepherd of my soul will be my guide

Footsteps walking with me
Footsteps I cannot see
But every move I make
And every step I take
I know they’re there with me
They walk with me all the way
Beside me day by day
Through good and bad
Through happy and sad
Those footsteps won’t go away

I’ll never walk in life alone
There’ll always be someone there
I know He won’t let me down
He’s with me everywhere
The special things in life I’ve done
Have been through Him and His love
I’ve been blessed in so many ways
Thanks to the Lord above

I think that my life’s been planned
By the one who’s guiding me
When I’m led by the hand
Of someone I can’t see
I’m not always sure where to go
That’s when I follow his lead
I know that the pathway that He shows
Will help me to succeed

Change my heart oh God, make it ever true
Change my heart oh God, may I be like You

You are the potter, I am the clay
Mold me and make me, This is what I pray

Change my heart oh God, make it ever true
Change my heart oh God, may I be like You

Let the Lord have His way, in your life every day
There’s no rest, there’s no peace ‘Til the Lord has His way
Place your life in His hands Rest secure in His plan
Let the Lord, let the Lord Have His way

It shall flow like a river, it shall fall like the rain
It shall come as the drawing of the day
And the knowledge the Lord
Shall fill all the earth

On this school your calling, Lord
May it come to us each day
On this school your calling, Lord
May it come to lead the way
Filling us with nobler yearnings, Lord
Calling us to live in you
On this school your calling, Lord
May it come each day anew

Fashioned and formed as earthen vessels.
Fragile and easily broken.
But holding a treasure, wealth untold
As earthen vessels we are (2)

Precious Spirit Come
Holy Spirit Come
Come into me now to touch and heal
Precious spirit come
Holy Spirit Come
Come in now and set my life on fire.

CH: O let my heart burn with love.
With love for my Lord
Let thy mighty power flow and
Set me free. (2)

When times of trials come,
Temptatious come my way,
Let me cling to thee, precious Lord.
Prepare me for the day.
The great and glorious day
When my Lord comes back
To take me home.

CH: O let my heart burn with love. With love for my Lord
Let thy mighty power flow and
Set me free. (2)
