LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST

 

Presentation of the Gifts

           

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           

 

Communion Hymn                  Blest Are They

 

Blest are they, the poor in spirit, theirs is the kingdom of God.

Blest are they, full of sorrow, they shall be consoled.

 

Refrain:          Rejoice and be glad!  Blessed are you, holy are you!

Rejoice and be glad!  Yours is the kingdom of God!

 

Blest are they, the lowly ones, they shall inherit the earth.

Blest are they, who hunger and thirst, they shall have their fill.                   Refrain

Blest are they, who show mercy, mercy shall be theirs.

Blest are they, the pure of heart, they shall see God!                                    Refrain

 

Communion Meditation          Joseph’s Song

 

Recessional Hymn                   Christ Be Our Light

 

Longing for light, we wait in darkness.  Longing for truth, we turn to you.

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.

 

Longing for peace, our world is troubled.  Longing for hope, many despair.

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
