Praise to the Lord, the Almighty
Praise to the Lord
The Almighty, the King of crea-tion
O my soul, praise-- Him for
He is thy health and salva-tion
All ye who hear
Now to His temple draw near
Join me in glad adora-tion
Praise to the Lord
Who o’er all things so wondrously reign-eth
Shelters thee un-der His
Wings, yea, so gently sustain-eth
Hast thou not seen
How Thy desires e’er have been
Granted in what He ordain-eth
Praise to the Lord
Who doth prosper thy work and defend-- thee
Surely His good--ness and
Mercy here daily attend- thee
Ponder anew
What the Almighty can do
If with His love He befriend- thee
Praise to the Lord
O let all that is in me adore- Him
All that hath life-- and breath
Come now with praises before- Him
Let the Amen
Sound from His people again
Gladly forever adore- Him
Let the Amen
Sound from His people again
Gladly forever adore- Him

OFFERTORY:
Shepherd Me, O God (Marty Haugen)
Refrain:
Shepherd me, O God,
Beyond my wants,
Beyond my fears,
From death into life.
God is my shepherd, so nothing I shall want,
I rest in the meadows of faithfulness and love,
I walk by the quiet waters -- of peace. [Refrain]
Gently you raise me and heal my weary soul,
You lead me by pathways of righteousness and truth,
My spirit shall sing the music of your Name. [Refrain]
Though I should wander the val-ley of death,
I fear no evil, for you are at my side,
Your rod and your staff, my comfort and my hope. [Refrain]
Bridge:
You have set me a banquet of love
in the face of hatred,
Crowning me with love beyond my pow'r to hold.
[Refrain]
Surely your kindness and mercy follow me
All the days of my life;
I will dwell in the house of my God
Forevermore. [Refrain]
Holy Holy (Curtis Stephan)

Heaven and earth are full of your glo-ry

Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord
Hosanna in the highest, Hosanna in the high-est
Mystery of Faith (Dan Schutte)
Save us, save us, Savior of the world
For by your Cross and Resurrection
You have set us free.

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

Have mercy, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, You take away the sins of the world
Grant us, grant us peace
COMMUNION:
We Will Rise Again (David Haas)
Like a shepherd I will feed you;
I will gather you with care.
I will lead you and hold you
Close to my heart.
Refrain:
We will run and not grow weary,
For our God will be our strength,
And we will fly like the eagle,
We will rise again.
I am strength to the weary
To the weak I am new life.
Though the young may grow weary
I will be their hope. [Refrain]
Lift-- up your eyes,
And see who made the stars.
I lead you, and I know you,
I call you each by name. [Refrain]
Fear not, I am with you;
I-- am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
Uphold you with my hand. [Refrain 2x]
Flow River Flow (Bob Hurd)
Refrain:
Flow river flow, flow over me
O living water, poured out for free
O living water, flow over me
You will be mine and I will be your God
For I will wash you clean
And a new heart, a heart of flesh and feeling
I will place within you for your heart of stone
[Refrain]
The blind shall see, the mute shall find a voice
The lame shall leap for joy
Rivers will flow into dry and barren desert,
Flowers bloom in splendor, glory fill the land
[Refrain]
Whoever drinks the water I will give
Will never thirst again
The drink I give is an ever-flowing river
Welling up within you to give eternal life
[Refrain]
SEND FORTH:
Sing to the Mountains (Bob Dufford)
Refrain:
Sing to the mountains, sing to the sea
Raise your voices, lift your hearts.
This is the day the Lord has made,
Let all the earth rejoice.
I will give thanks to you my Lord,
You have answered my plea.
You have saved my soul from death,
You are my strength and my song. [Refrain]
This is the day that the Lord has made,
Let us be glad and rejoice.
He has turned all death to life,
Sing of the glory of God. [Refrain]
Let all the earth … rejoice!
Additional Songs for 3pm Confirmation Mass
Come Holy Ghost
Come, Holy Ghost, Creator blest,
And in our hearts take up thy rest;
Come with thy grace and heav’nly aid
To fill the hearts which thou hast made,
To fill the hearts which thou hast made.
O Comforter, to thee we cry,
Thou heav’nly gift of God most high;
Thou font of life and fire of love,
And sweet anointing from above,
And sweet anointing from above.
To ev’ry sense thy light impart
And shed thy love in ev’ry heart.
To our weak flesh, thy strength supply;
Unfailing courage from on high,
Unfailing courage from on high.
O grant that we through thee may come
To know the Father and the Son,
And hold with firm, unchanging faith,
That thou art Spirit of them both,
That thou art Spirit of them both
Praise be to thee, Father and Son
And Holy Spirit, with them one;
And may the Son on us bestow
The gifts that from the Spirit flow,
The gifts that from the Spirit flow.
Veni Creator Spiritus
[1] Veni, Creator Spiritus,
Mentes tuorum visita,
Imple superna gratia
Quae tu creasti pectora.
[2] Qui diceris Paraclitus,
Donum Dei altissimi,
Fons vivus, ignis, caritas,
Et spiritalis unctio.
[3] Tu septiformis munere,
Dexterae Dei tu Digitus,
Tu rite promissum Patris,
Sermone ditans guttura.
[4] Accende lumen sensibus,
Infunde amorem cordibus,
Infirma nostri corporis
Virtute firmans perpeti.
[5] Hostem repellas longius,
Pacemque dones protinus:
Ductore sic te praevio,
Vitemus omne noxium.
[6] Per te sciamus da Patrem,
Noscamus atque Filium
Te utriusque Spiritum
Credamus omni tempore.
Amen.
