Hymns:
GUIDE ME, O THOU GREAT REDEEMER
Guide me, O thou great Redeemer,
pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but thou art mighty,
hold me with thy pow’rful hand:
Bread of Heaven, Bread of Heaven,
feed me till I want no more,
feed me till I want no more.
Open now the crystal fountain,
whence the healing stream doth flow;
let the fire and cloudy pillar
lead me all my journey through;
strong deliv’rer, strong deliv’rer,
be thou still my strength and shield,
be thou still my strength and shield.
When I tread the verge of Jordan,
bid my anxious fears subside;
death of death, and hell’s destruction,
land me safe on Canaan’s side;
songs of praises, songs of praises,
I will ever give to thee,
I will ever give to thee.
MAKE ME A CHANNEL OF YOUR PEACE
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.
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.
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, (etc.)
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.

Someone’s crying, Lord, k*m ba yah,

someone’s crying, Lord, k*m ba yah,
O Lord, k*m ba yah.

ONE MORE STEP ALONG THE WORLD I GO
One more step along the world I go,
one more step along the world I go.
From the old things to the new
keep me travelling along with you.
And it’s from the old I travel to the new,
keep me travelling along with you.
Round the corners of the world I turn,
more and more about the world I learn.
All the new things that I see
you’ll be looking at along with me.
And it’s from the old I travel to the new, (etc.)
As I travel through the bad and good,
keep me travelling the way I should.
Where I see no way to go,
you’ll be telling me the way, I know.
And it’s from the old I travel to the new, (etc.)
Give me courage when the world is rough,
keep me loving though the world is tough.
Leap and sing in all I do,
keep me travelling along with you.
And it’s from the old I travel to the new, (etc.)
You are older than the world can be,
you are younger than the life in me.
Ever old and ever new,
keep me travelling along with you.
And it’s from the old I travel to the new, (etc.)
Anthem:
"Irish Blessing" – Words - Traditional; Music - Bob Chilcott
So you, mortal, I have made a sentinel for the house of Israel; whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. If I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked ones, you shall surely die’, and you do not speak to warn the wicked to turn from their ways, the wicked shall die in the...
