Offertory Hymn Here I Am, Lord
I, the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard my people cry. All who dwell in dark and sin my hand will save.
I, who made the stars of night, I will make their darkness bright. Who will bear my light to them? Whom shall I send?
Refrain: Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord? I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if you lead me. I will hold your people in my heart.
I, the Lord of snow and rain, I have borne my people’s pain. I have wept for love of them. They turn away.
I will break their hearts of stone, Give them hearts for love alone. I will speak my word to them. Whom shall I send? Refrain

Make us your own, your holy people, light for the world to see.
Refrain: Christ, be our light! Shine in our hearts. Shine through the darkness.
Christ, be our light! Shine in your Church gathered today.

Your word alone has pow’r to save us. Make us your living voice. Refrain
School Song
Come, join and sing the praises of a school we can never can forget.
Though we may wonder far, she’ll be our guiding star.
Let’s sing once again the story of the white and the blue. Pledging our alma mater, ever to be true.
Refrain: All hail, St. Joseph Hill, keep her standards flying high.
Hail, St. Joseph Hill, may your glory never die.
We pledge our loyalty to your honor tried and true,
For they’ll never wave any flag quite as brave as the white and the blue.
Long after we have parted and we leave these old familiar halls
We’ll see the memory of days that used to be.
And though time may bring it’s treasure both of laughter and tears,
We’ll find our alma mater standing through the years. Refrain
