Hymn for the Entrance Procession
Let Us Exalt His Name Together
Verse 1
At all times I will bless Him
His praise will be in my mouth
My soul makes its boast in the Lord
The humble man will hear Him
The afflicted will be glad
And join with me to magnify the LordChorus
Let us exalt His name together forever
I sought the Lord, He heard me
And delivered me from my fears
Let us exalt His name together forever
Oh, sing His praises magnify the LordVerse 2
The angel of the Lord encamps
'Round those who fear His name
To save them and deliver them from harm
Though lions roar with hunger
We lack of no good thing
No wonder then we praise Him with our songChorus
Let us exalt His name together forever
I sought the Lord, He heard me
And delivered me from my fears
Let us exalt His name together forever
Oh, sing His praises magnify the LordVerse 3
Come children now and hear me
If you would see long life
Just keep your lips from wickedness and lies
Do good and turn from evil
Seek peace instead of strife
Love righteousness and God will hear You cryFinal Chorus
Let us exalt His name together forever
I sought the Lord, He heard me
And delivered me from my fears
Let us exalt His name together forever
Oh, sing His praises magnify the Lord
Oh, sing His praises magnify the Lord

In Bread We Bring You, Lord
Verse 1
In bread we bring you, Lord,
our bodies' labour.
In wine we offer you
our spirits' grief.
We do not ask you, Lord,
who is my neighbour?
But stand united now,
one in belief.Oh we have gladly heard
your Word, your holy Word,
and now 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.Verse 2
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.

As the Deer
Verse 1
As the deer panteth for the water
So my soul longeth after Thee
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship TheeRefrain
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 TheeVerse 2
I want You more than gold or silver
Only You can satisfy
You alone are the real joy giver
And the apple of my eyeRefrain
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 TheeVerse 3
You're my friend and You're my brother
Even though you are a King
I love You more than any other
So much more than anythingRefrain
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 Thee

We Form One Church
Verse 1
We form one Church, one Christian folk
Redeemed by God's own Son;
Refreshed by clear and saving streams
We share in graces won.
We break the Bread of Heaven
To feed us on our way,
We take the cup that brings us life
To celebrate his day.Verse 2
We know the kindness of his love
We know his will to save;
We know He's won the victory
O'er sin and o'er the grave.
To each of us is given
The fullness of his grace.
To live in joy a life of love
Until we see his face.Verse 3
Our hope is strong in Jesus Christ,
Our faith is in his name;
We know he seeks the sinful one
For that is why he came.
He cares for those who suffer
He loves both young and old,
A man of sorrows risen now,
As He himself foretold!
