Prayer of St. Francis (Sebastian Temple)
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.

Refrain:
Oh, 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. (Refrain)

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. (Refrain)

Here I am, Lord (Dan Schutte)
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 and night, I will make the 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, Fill their hearts with 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)

On Eagles Wings (Michael Joncas)
You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord,
who abide in His shadow for life,
say to the Lord: “My refuge, my rock in whom I trust!”

Refrain: And He will raise you up on eagle’s wings,
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun,
and hold you in the palm of His hand.

The snare of the fowler will never capture you,
and famine will bring you no fear:
under His wings your refuge,
His faithfulness your shield. (Refrain)

You need not fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day;
though thousands fall about you,
near you it shall not come. (Refrain)

For to his angels he’s given a command
to guard you in all of your ways;
upon their hands they will bear you up,
lest you dash your foot against a stone. (Refrain)

The Gift of Love (Hal Hopson)
Though I may speak with bravest fire,
and have the gift to all inspire,
and have not love my words are vain,
as sounding brass, and hopeless gain.

Though I may give all I possess,
and striving so my love profess,
but not be giv’n by love within,
the profit soon turns strangely thin.

God’s love is patient and it is Kind
I try to keep that thought in mind.
If I have faith but do not love,
Hope wings away like a dove

Come, Spirit, come, our hearts control,
our spirits long to be made whole.
Let inward love guide every deed;
by this we worship, and are freed.

The Prayer (David Foster)
I pray You’ll be our eyes, and watch us where we go
And help us to be wise in times when we don’t know
Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way
Lead us to the place, guide us with Your grace
To a place where we’ll be safe

I pray we ‘Il find Your light, and hold it in our hearts
When stars go out each night,
Remind us where You are
Let this be our prayer, when shadows fill our day
Help us find a place, guide us with Your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe

A world where pain and sorrow will be ended
And every heart that’s broken will he mended
And we’ll remember we are all God’s children
Reaching out to touch You
Reaching to the sky

We ask that life be kind, and watch us from above
We hope each soul will find another soul to love
Let this be our prayer, just like every child

Needs to find a place, guide us with Your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe
Needs to find a place, guide us with Your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe

We Remember (Marty Haugen)
We remember how You loved us to Your death,
and still we celebrate, for You are with us here;
and we believe that we will see You when You come in Your glory, Lord.
We remember, we celebrate, we believe.

Here, a million wounded souls are yearning just to touch You and be healed.
Gather all Your people, and hold them to Your heart. (Refrain)

Now we recreate Your love, we bring the bread and wine to share a meal.
Sign of grace and mercy, the presence of the Lord. (Refrain)

Christ, the Father’s great “Amen” to all the hopes and dreams of ev’ry heart,
Peace beyond all telling, and freedom from all fear. (Refrain)

See the face of Christ revealed in ev’ry person standing by your side,
Gift to one another, and temples of Your love. (Refrain)

Wherever you Go – Song of Ruth (Norbet)
Wherever you go, I shall go.
Wherever you live, so shall I live.
Your people will be my people,
And your God will be my God too.

Wherever you go, I shall go.
Wherever you live, so shall I live.
We will be together forever;
And our love will be the gift of our lives.

Repeat [V3]

[Ending]
And our love will be the gift of our lives

Ubi Caritas (Bob Hurd)
Refrain: Ubi cáritas est vera, est vera
Deus ibi est
Deus ibi est

The love of Christ joins us together
Let us rejoice in him
And in our love and care for all
now love God in return (refrain)

In true communion let us gather
May all division cease
and in their place be Christ the Lord
Our risen Prince of Peace (refrain)

May we who gather at this table
To share the bread of life
become a sacrament of love
Your healing touch, O’ Christ (Refrain)

Panis Angelicus (Heavenly Manna) Traditional (Latin) by C. Frank

A Nuptial Blessing  Michael Joncas
Refrain: May God bless you, hold and keep you;
may God’s mer – cy shine on you,
Guide your work and guard your resting,
keep your love forever new.

May God satisfy your longing, be refreshment at your table,
and provide your daily bread,
guard your going and your coming,
be the solace in your silence:
life within the lives you wed.

May God join your hopeful spirits, fill your hearts with truth and courage,
trust to share both joy and tears,
teach love to your children’s children;
may your household learn to witness
living faith through all your years.

May God make your home a refuge where you warmly welcome strangers
and the lowly find a place;
make you caring, kind companions,
help you meet the needs of neighbors,
finding Christ in every face.

When Love is Found (Wren/Hopson)
When Love is found and hope comes home,
sing and be glad that two are one.
When love explodes and fills the sky,
praise God and share our Maker’s joy.

When love has flowered in trust and care
build both each day, that love may dare
To reach beyond homes warmth and light
to serve and strive for truth and right.

When love is tried as loved ones change,
hold still to hope though all seems strange,
Till ease returns and love grows wise
through listening ears and opened eyes.

When love is torn and trust betrayed,
pray strength to love till torments fade,
Till lovers keep no score of wrong,
but hear through pain loves Easter song

Praise God for love, praise God for life
in age or youth, in husband, wife.
Lift up your heart let love be fed
through death and life in broken bread.

God in the Planning  (Slane, Bell)
God, in the planning and purpose of life,
Hallowed the union of husband and wife:
This we embody where love is displayed,
Rings are presented and promises made.

Jesus was found, at a similar feast,
Taking the roles of both waiter and priest,
Turning the worldly towards the divine,
Tears into laughter and water to wine.

Therefore we pray that his spirit preside
Over the wedding of bridegroom and bride,
Fulfilling all that they’ve hoped will come true,
Lighting with love all they dream of and do.

Praise then the Maker, the Spirit, the Son,
Source of the love through which two are made one.
God’s is the glory, the goodness and grace
Seen in this marriage and known in this place.

The Servant Song  (Richard Gillard)
Will you let me be your servant,
Let me be as Christ to you;
Pray that I may have the grace to
Let you be my servant, too.

We are pilgrims on a journey,
We are trav’lers on the road;
We are here to help each other
Walk the mile and bear the load.

I will hold the Christ-light for you
In the night-time of your fear;
I will hold my hand out to you,
Speak the peace you long to hear.

I will weep when you are weeping;
When you laugh I’ll laugh with you.
I will share your joy and sorrow
‘Til we’ve seen this journey through.

When we sing to God in heaven
We shall find such harmony,
Born of all we’ve known together
Of Christ’s love and agony.

Not for Tongues of Heaven’s Angels  (Michael Joncas)
Not for tongues of heaven’s angels,
not for wisdom to discern,
not for faith that masters mountains,
for this better gift we yearn:
may love be ours, O Lord.

Love is humble; love is gentle;
love is tender, true and kind;
love is gracious, ever patient,
generous of heart and mind:
may love be ours, O Lord.

Never jealous, never selfish,
love will not rejoice in wrong;
never boastful, nor resentful,
love believes and suffers long:
may love be ours, O Lord.

In the day this world is fading
faith and hope will play their part,
but when Christ is seen in glory
love shall reign in every heart:
may love be ours, O Lord.

Be Thou My Vision  (Eleanor Hull)
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord
Thou my great Father, and I Thy true son
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art

High King of Heaven, my victory won
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all
