Some Hymns

GOD IS DWELLING IN MY HEART
*God is dwelling in my heart
He and I are one
All His joy He gives to me
Through Christ His Son
And with Jesus in my heart
What have I to fear
For He is the Son of God
In my hear He is near*
Christians, who are baptised
Have you ever realised
This great mystery
God dwells in you and in me
*Repeat*
This joy, God gave to you
Share it, the, with others too
Tell them that God is Love
Lift their hearts above
*Repeat*

GOD IS LOVE
*Love it was that made us
And it was love that saved us
Love was God's plan, when He made man
God's divine nature is love
Born of God's love we must love Him
That's why he made us: to love Him
But only when we love all men
Can we partake of God's love
But only when we love all men
Can we partake of God's love*
Love is a wonderful thing
Joy in our hearts it will bring
Where there's true love there is God
And where there's God there is love
*Repeat*
Christ said: 'Love must be the sign
By which men will know you for 'Mine'
A new commandment I give:
Each other love as I did.'
*Repeat*

HE
He can turn the tides and calm the angry sea
He alone decides who writes a symphony
He lights every star that makes our darkness bright
He keeps watch all through each long and lonely night
He still finds the time to hear a child's first prayer
Saints or sinners call and always find Him there
Though it makes him sad to see the way we live
He'll always say 'I forgive'
He will come to us and heal our sinful soul
He alone says your sin I forgive you
He will light your way and make your darkness bright
He keeps watch all through the lonely year ahead
He still finds the time to wipe our tears away
Saint or sinners still He loves us all the same
Though it hurts Him much to see the way we live
He'll always say 'I forgive'
He can grant a wish or make a dream come true
He can take the clouds and turn the grey to blue
He alone know where to find the rainbow's end
He alone can see what lies beyond the bend
He can touch a tree and turn the leaves to gold
He knows every lie that you and I have told
Though it makes Him sad to see the way we live
He'll always say 'I forgive'

WHEN A CHILD IS BORN
A ray of hope flickers in the sky
A tiny star lights up way up high
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born
A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds of change whisper in the trees
All the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn
This comes to pass when a child is born
A rosy hue settles all around
You've got to feel you're on solid ground
For a spell or two no one seems forlorn
This comes to pass when a child is born
It's all a dream an illusion now
It must come true sometime soon somehow
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born

YOU ARE THE ANSWER
You are the answer that I seek
In darkness you're the shining light
The living water that I need
To quench my wayward appetite
You are the manna of my life
Fire of love to keep me warm
Quiet haven from all strife
Shelter in the raging storm
You are the reason why I'm here
To whom all men aspire
Love that calms my every fear
The truant heart's desire
You are the laughter of my soul
Songs I hum at eventide
A lullaby of love I sing
As in your hand my heart abides

SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM
Seek ye first the kingdom of God
And his righteousness
And all these things shall be added unto you
Allelu, alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Allelu, alleluia
Man shall not live by bread alone
But by every word
That proceeds from the mouth of God
Allelu, alleluia
Where two or three are gathered in my name
There am I in the midst
And whatsoever ye shall ask
I will do, alleluia
Ask and it shall be given unto you
Seek and ye shall find
Knock and it shall be opened unto you
Allelu, alleluia

LOVE IS HIS WORD
Love is his word, love is his way
Feasting with man, fasting alone
Living and dying rising again
Love, only love is his way
Richer than gold is the love of my Lord
Better than splendour and wealth
Love is his way, love is his mark
Sharing his last Passover feast
Christ at the table host to the twelve
Love, only love is his mark
Love is his mark, love is his sign
Bread for our strength, wine for our joy
'This is my body, this is my blood'
Love, only love is his sign
Love is his sign, love is his news,
'Do this,' He said, 'least you forget
all my deep sorry, all my dear blood'
Love, only love is his news

A CALL TO CHRISTIANS
A light within the world
Yes witnesses are we
To bear the light of Christ
For all the world to see
We come with joy O Christ
In answer to Your call
Through love we give all
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Your love and light O Lord
You send us to impart
To those who know You not
Yet love You in their heart
Have mercy on the world
That sin and strife may cease
Extend your reign O Christ
You are the king of peace

MORNING HAS BROKEN
Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing, fresh from the Word
Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first, dew-fall, 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 on light, Eden saw play!
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's re-creation of the new day

PRAISE TO THE LORD
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the king of creation
O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation
All ye who hear, not to his altar draw near
Joining in glad adoration
Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee
Surely his goodness and mercy shall daily attend thee
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do
Who with his love doth befriend thee
Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in us adore Him!
All that has life and breath, come now in praises before Him,
Let the Amen sound from His people again
Now as we worship before Him

Come adore the Living God, Glory, Alleluia
Though sun and moon may pass away, His word will ever stay

The Father, Son and Spirit one,
From whom all life and goodness come

Praise Him now and for evermore, Glory, Alleluia
To the God who cannot die, Glory, Alleluia

He promised to be with us and He live in ev'ryone
Love Him not and for evermore, Glory, Alleluia

TO GOD BE THE GLORY
To God be the glory, great things he has done
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son
Who yielded his life an atonement for sin,
And opened the life-gate that all may go in
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the earth hear His voice
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice,
O come to the Father through Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory great things He has done
O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,
To every believer the promise of God;
The vilest offender who truly believes,
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives
Great things He has taught us, great things He has done,
Great our rejoicing through Jesus the son;
But purer and higher, and greater will be,
Our wonder our transport when Jesus we see

FATHER AND LIFE GIVER
Father and life giver, grace of Christ imparts
He the Word incarnate, food for mind and heart
Chldren of the promise, homage now we pay
Sacrificial banquet, cheers the desert way
Wine and bread the symbols, love and life convey
Offered by your people, work and joy portray
All we own consigning, nothing is retained
Tokens of our service, gifts and song contain
Transformation wondrous -- water into win
Mingled in the Godhead, we are made divine
Birth into his body, brought us life anew
Total consecration -- fruit from grafting true
Christ, the head and members, living now as one
Offered to the Father, by this holy Son
And our adoration, purified we find
Through the Holy Spirit, breathing in mankind

ALL MAN'S LABOUR CAN PRODUCE
May this lowly bread and wine
Be the sacrifice divine
Of our saviour Jesus Christ!

All man's labour can produce

On this gift of bread and wine
Of our sacrifice a sign

May this food which strength imparts
Bring refreshment to our hearts
And a taste of joy to come!
And a taste of joy to come!

HUMBLY WE COME
Humbly we come before your face, O Lord
Take these gifts, we offer You
Humbly we come before your face, O Lord
Grant us peace and salvation
Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation
Thanks to your goodness here is bread
Bread which our hands have made and earth has given
It will become the bread of Life
Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation
Thanks to your goodness here is wine
Fruit of the vine and work of human hands, O Lord
Wine to become your precious blood

O KING OF MIGHT AND SPLENDOUR
O King of might and splendour, Creator most adored
This sacrifice we render, to Thee as sov'reign Lord
May tese our gifts be pleasing, unto thy Majesty
Mankind from sin releasing, who have offended thee
Thy body thou hast given, thy blood thou has out-poured
That sin might be forgivem O Jesus, loving Lord,
As now with love most tender, thy death we celebrate,
Our lives in self-surrender, to Thee we consecrate

IN BREAD WE BRING YOU, LORD
In bread we bring you, Lord, our bodies' labour
In wine we offer you, our spirits' grief
We do no ask you, Lord, who is my neighbour
But stand united now, one in belief
Oh we have glad heard, your Word, your holy Word
And not in answer, Lord, our gifts we bring
Our selfish hearts make true, our failing faith renew,
Our lives belong to you, our Lord and King
The bread we offer you, is blessed and broken
And it becomes for us, our spirits' food
Over the cup we bring, your Word is spoken
Make it your gift to us, your healing blood
Take all that daily toil, plants in our heart's poor soil
Take all we start and spoil, each hopeful dream
The chances we have missed, the graces we resist
Lord, in your Eucharist, take and redeem
