GOD OF MERCY AND COMPASSION

1. God of mercy and compassion,

Look with pity upon me,
Father, let me call Thee Father,
'Tis Thy child returns to Thee.

Refrain:
Jesus, Lord, I ask for mercy;
Let me not implore in vain;
All my sins, I now detest them,
Never will I sin again.

2. By my sins I have deserved

Death and endless misery,
Hell with all its pains and torments,
And for all eternity.

3. By my sins I have abandoned

Right and claim to heav'n above.
Where the saints rejoice forever
In a boundless sea of love.

4. See our Savior, bleeding, dying,

On the cross of Calvary;
To that cross my sins have nail'd Him,
Yet He bleeds and dies for me.

Lord, we bring to you

Lester Delgado

Lord, we bring to you the bread of life we offer to you.

Bless them with your spirit and together we will eat it.

Lord, we bring to you the cup of joy we offer them too.

Bless them with your spirit and together we will drink it.

We lift to You this sacrifice; we offer it for your glory.

Transform them to your body and blood the source of salvation,
a symbol of your love.

Now Is the time

Chorus: Now is the time, here in this space,

We come to share a meal from ancient days.
Gathered now in Christ, gathered here as one,
We taste the banquet yet to come.

1. From age to age a people

gathered in your name
A story now remembered.
So the spirit you have sent
embraces from our past
A promise that will last.

2. Now in the blessing

and the breaking of the bread
Your presence dwells among us
In the sharing of this meal,
the love that you impart
now dwells within our hearts.

3. And in the blessing

and the drinking of the wine,
We come to learn our story.
In the richness of our lives,
the blood of Christ outpoured
unites us with our Lord.

4. There is myst’ry
of the of the path that lies ahead,
A journey still unfathomed.
May the myst’ry we behold
become the light we bear
for all the world to share.
Sanctus

Holy, Holy, Holy

Lord God of hosts.
Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes
in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
Hosanna in the highest.

Save us savior

Save us Savior of the word,

For by your cross and resurrection
You have set us free.

PATER NOSTER

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
 
Embolism

For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and forever.

Agnus dei

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world,

have mercy on us.
Agnus Dei, quitollis peccata mundi,
miserere nobis
Kordero ng Diyos, na nag-aalis ng mga kasalanan ng sanlibutan,
ipagkaloob Mo sa amin ang kapayapaan.

Communion

Hidden god devoutly I adore you

Chorus: Hidden God, devoutly I adore you,

Truly present underneath these veils:
All my heart subdues itself before you,
Since it all before you faints and fails.
Not to sight, or taste, or touch be credit,
Hearing only do we trust secure.
I believe, for God the Son has said it --
Word of Truth that ever shall endure.

On the cross was veiled your Godhead's splendor,

Here your manhood lies hidden too;
Unto both alike my faith I render,
And, as sued the contrite thief, I sue.

Though I look not on your wounds with Thomas,

You, my Lord, and you, my God, I call:
Make me more and more believe your promise,
Hope in you, and love you over all.

O memorial of my Savior dying,

Living Bread, that gives life to man;
Make my soul, its life from you supplying,
Taste your sweetness, as on earth it can.

Deign, O Jesus, Pelican of heaven,

Me, a sinner, in your Blood to lave,
To a single drop of which is given
All the world from all its sin to save.

Contemplating, Lord, your hidden presence,

Grant me what I thirst for and implore,
In the revelation of your essence
To behold your glory evermore.

Here I Am Lord

I, the Lord of sea and sky,

I have heard my people cry.
All who dwell in deepest 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]

I, the Lord of wind and flame,

I will tend the poor and lame.
I will set a feast for them.
My hand will save.
Finest bread I will provide
Till their hearts be satisfied.
I will give my life to them.
Whom shall I send? [Refrain]

Hear and heal me now

Lester Delgado

Hear and heal me now to your cross o Lord I bow.

We lift to you our worries and fears.
Teach us to trust, O Lord.
Lord, we need you now.
Lord, you are our strength.
You offered your life to save us from sins,
How gracious are you, Lord.

In these days of Lenten journey

Ricky Manalo, CSP

In these days of Lenten journey,

We have seen, and we have heard
The call to sow justice
in the lives of those we serve.

We reach out to those who are homeless,

To those who live without warmth.
In the coolness of evening,
We'll shelter their dreams,
We will clothe them in mercy and peace.

We open our eyes to the hungry,

and see the faces of Christ.
As we nourish all people who hunger for food,
may their faith in our God be renewed.
We open our ears to the weary
and hear the cry of the poor.
To the voices that echo the song of despair,
we will show our compassion and care.

We call on the Spirit of Justice

and pray for the righteousness’ sake.
We will sing for the freedom of all the oppressed;
we will loosen the bonds of distress.

WHERE CHARITY AND LOVE WERE FOUND

Ferdinand Bautista

Where charity and love are found there is God.

Where charity and love are found there is God,

1.The love of Christ has gathered us together into one.

Let us rejoice and be glad in it!
Let us fear and love the living God
And love each other from the depths of our heart.

2. Therefore when we are together

Let us take heed not be divided in mind.
Let there be an end to bitterness
And quarrels and end to strife,
and in our midst be Christ our God.

3. And in company with the blessed

may we see your face in glory!
Christ of God, pure and unbounded
joy forever and ever.
Sanctus

Beyond the days

Ricky Manalo, CSP

Beyond the days of hope and mystery

we see a light of faith renewed,
and in our longing we thirst for guidance
to walk with you day by day.
1. Forty days and nights,
you guide the steps of our journey.
May your presence be felt
in the whisper of your voice.

2. Not on bread alone

are we to walk on this journey.
Speak the words that give life
to the yearnings of our hearts.

3. In your hands, O God,

we feel the touch of your guidance.
Keep us safe in your care:
may your gentleness be there.

4. On our Lenten path

we see the dawn of a new day.
Be our vision of hope;
be the promise of our lives.
