Jesus Christ is Lord. Here where the poor find their treasure Here where the greatest are least. Come find a love beyond measure In this heav’nly feast. Where two or three are gathered, Gathered in my name I come with words of comfort To ease your hurt and shame. Where two or three are gathered I am there as well Inviting my disciples In perfect love to dwell. Where two or three are gathered I am there with you

Blest be God by all creation, joyously while ages run, Amen. 9.

Christ in hearts of all that love me, Christ in mouth of friend and stranger. Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ be with me today. Christ in resting, Christ in rising, Christ the Lord of my life. Christ in quiet, Christ in danger, Christ my shield in the strife. Christ in ev’ry heart that is broken, Chris in ev’ry word as it’s spoken. Christ be with me, Christ within me, Christ before me today. 11. Make Me A Channel Of Our Peace (S. Temple)

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. Make me a channel of your peace, Where there’s despair in life, let me bring hope, Where there is darkness, only light, And where there’s sadness, ever joy. O 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. Make me a channel of your peace, It is in pardoning that we are pardoned. In giving of ourselves that we receive, And in dying that we’re born to eternal life. 12. Faithful is the Lord our King (Arr. Liam Lawton) Faithful is the Lord our King Let us all in glory sing Ever praise in song and word, Holy, holy, holy Lord. 13.

Hark, the loud celestial hymn Angel choir above are raising Cherubim and seraphim In unceasing chorus praising Fill the heavens with sweet accord Holy, holy, holy Lord. Holy Father, holy Son, Holy Spirit, three we name thee. While in essence only one Undivided God we claim thee And adoring bend the knee While we own the mystery. Spare thy people, Lord, we pray By a thousand snares surrounded Keep us without sin today

Never let us be confounded Lo, I put my trust in thee Never, Lord, abandon me. 14.

16. Ag Críost an Síol (Seán Ó Riada) Ag Críost an síol, ag Críost an fómhar, In iothlainn Dé go dtugtar sinn. Ag Críost an mhuir, ag Críost an t-iasc, I líonta Dé go gcastar sinn Ó fhás go haois, is ó aois go bás, Do dhá láimh, a Chríost, anall tharainn. Ó bhás go críoch, ní críoch ach athfhás, I bParthas na nGrást go rabhaimid. 17. Now thank we all our God Now thank we all our God, With heart and hands and voices, Who wondrous things has done, In whom the world rejoices; Who from our mother’s arms Has blessed us on our way With countless gifts of love, And still is ours today. O may this bounteous God Through all our lives be near us, With blessed peace to cheer us, And keep us in his grace, And guide us when perplexed, And free us from all ills In this world and the next. All praise and thanks to God The Father, now be given, The Son, and Spirit blest Who reign in highest heaven,

The one eternal God, Whom earth and heaven adore; For thus it was, is now, And shall be evermore. 18. Take and Eat (Ian Callanan) Take and eat, this is my body, Take and drink this cup of life. This living sign of God will shine And dwell within your heart. Come to me all you who labour, And I will give you rest. Lay your burdens upon me; My yoke is light. I am strength for the weary, New sight for the blind
