Amazing Grace
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but
now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious
did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought
me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion
be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess
within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days
to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.
Annie’s song
You fill up my senses like a night in the forest,
like the mountains in springtime,
like a walk in the rain,
like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean.
You
fill up my senses, come fill me again.
Come let me love you, let me give my life to
you,
let me drown in your laughter, let me die in your arms,
let me lay down beside
you, let me always be with you.
Come let me love you, come love me again.
Ave Maria
Ave Maria Gratia plena
Maria Gratia plena
Maria Gratia plena
Ave, ave dominus
Dominus
tecum
Benedicta tu in mulieribus
Et benedictus
Et benedictus fructus ventris
Ventris
tui Jesus
Translation:
Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord be with you.
Blessed are you amongst women,
And blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Black is the colour of my true love's hair
Black is the colour of my true love's hair
His face is something wondrous fair
The
clearest eyes
and the dearest hands
I love the grass whereon he stands
I love my love
and well he knows
I love the grass whereon he goes
And still I think that the time
will come
when he and I will be as one
Bridge over troubled water
When you’e weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I’
on your side, when times get rough
And friends just cant be found,
Like a bridge over
troubled water
I will lay me down.
When you’e down and out,
When you’e on the street,
When
evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I’l take your part.
When darkness comes
And
pains is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Sail on silvergirl,
Sail
on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
If
you need a friend
I’ sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Caro mio ben
Caro mio ben, credimi almen, senza di te languisce il cor, caro mio ben, senza di te languisce il cor. Il tuo fedel so spira ognor. Cessa, crudel, tanto rigor! Cessa, crudel, tanto rigor, tanto rigor!
Come away , come sweet love
Come away , come sweet love
The golden morning breaks.
All the earth, all the air,
Of love and pleasure speaks:
Teach thine arms then to embrace,
And sweet rosy lips
to kiss,
And mix our souls in mutual bliss.
Eyes were made for beauty's grace,
Viewing,
rueing love's long pain
Procur'd by beauty's rude disdain.
Come away , come sweet love,
The golden morning wastes,
While the sun from his spere,
His fiery arrows casts:
Making all the shadows fly,
Playing, staying in the grove,
To entertain the stealth of love.
Thither sweet love let us hie,
Flying, dying in
desire,
Wing'd with sweet hopes and heav'nly fire.
Come away , come sweet love,
Do
not in vain adorn
Beauty's grace , that should rise,
Like to the naked morn:
Lilies
on the river's side,
And fair Cyprian flow'rs new-
Desire no beauties but their
own.
Ornament is nurse of pride,
Pleasure measure love's delight:
Haste then sweet
love our wished flight
Come live with me and be my love
Come live with me and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove
That valleys,
groves, hills, and fields,
Woods or steepy mountain yields.
There we’l sit upon the
rocks,
Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks,
I will make thee beds of roses
And a thousand fragrant posies,
Gowns made of the finest wool
A belt of straw and ivy
buds,
With coral clasps and amber studs:
And if these pleasures may thee move,
Come
live with me and be my love.
Dear Lord and Father of mankind
Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
Forgive our foolish ways!
Reclothe us in our rightful mind,
In purer lives Thy service find,
In deeper reverence, praise.
In simple trust like theirs who heard
Beside the Syrian sea
The gracious calling of the Lord,
Let us, like them, without a word
Rise up and follow Thee.
Drop Thy still dews of quietness,
Till all our strivings cease;
Take from our souls the strain and stress,
And let our ordered lives confess
The beauty of Thy peace.
Breathe through the heats of our desire
Thy coolness and Thy balm;
Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
Speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
O still, small voice of calm!
Have You Seen The Bright Lily Grow
Have you seen but a bright lily grow
Before rude
hands have touched it?
Have you marked but the fall of snow
Before the soil hath smutched
it?
Have you felt the wool of beaver,
Or swan's down ever?
Or have smelt o' the bud
o' the brier,
Or the nard in the fire?
Or have tasted the bag of the bee?
O so white,
O so soft, O so sweet is she!
He shall feed His flock like a shepherd
He shall feed His flock like a shepherd; and He shall gather the lambs
with His arm, and carry them in His bosom, and gently lead those that are
with young. (Isaiah 40:11)
Come unto Him, all ye that labour, come unto Him that are heavy laden, and
He will give you rest. Take His yoke upon you, and learn of Him, for He
is meek and lowly of heart, and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
(Matthew 11:28-
How Beautiful
How beautiful the hands that served
the wine and the bread
and the sons of the earth.
How beautiful the feet that walked
the long dusty roads
and the hills to the cross.
How beautiful
how beautiful
how beautiful is the body of Christ.
How beautiful the heart that bled
that took all my sin
and bore it instead.
How beautiful the tender eyes
that chose to forgive
and never despise.
How beautiful
how beautiful
how beautiful is the body of Christ.
And as He laid down His life
we offer this sacrifice
that we will live just as he died:
willing to pay the price
willing to pay the price.
How beautiful the radiant Bride
who waits for her Groom
with His light in her eyes.
How beautiful when humble hearts give
the fruit of pure lives
so that others may live.
How beautiful
how beautiful
how beautiful is the body of Christ.
How beautiful the feet that bring
the sound of good news
and the love of the King.
How beautiful the hands that serve
the wine and the bread
and the sons of the earth.
How beautiful
how beautiful
how beautiful is the body of Christ.
How beautiful are the feet of them
How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace,
and bring glad tidings of good things. (Isaiah 52:7)
I got rhythm
I got rhythm, I got music
I got my man
Who could ask for anything more?
I got daisies,
in green pastures
I got my man
Who could ask for anything more?
Old man trouble
I don't
mind him
You won't find him 'round my door
I got starlight
I got sweet dreams
I got my
man
Who could ask for anything more ?
If music be the food of love
If music be the food of love,
sing on till I am fill'd with joy;
for then my list'ning
soul you move
with pleasures that can never cloy,
your eyes, your mien, your tongue
declare
that you are music ev'rywhere.
Pleasures invade both eye and ear,
so fierce the transports are, they wound,
and all
my senses feasted are,
tho' yet the treat is only sound.
Sure I must perish by our
charms,
unless you save me in your arms.
I know that my Redeemer liveth
I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the
earth. And though worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God. (Job
19:25-
For now is Christ risen from the dead, the first fruits of them that
sleep.
(I Corinthians 15:20)
I love you truly
I love you truly, truly dear,
Life with its sorrow, life with its tear
Fades into dreams when I feel you are near
For I love you truly, truly dear.
Ah! Love, 'tis something to feel your kind hand
Ah! Yes, 'tis something by your side to stand;
Gone is the sorrow, gone doubt and fear,
For you love me truly, truly dear.
I will give my love an apple
I will give my love an apple without e'er a core
I will give my love a house without e'er a door,
I will give my love a palace wherein she may be,
And she may unlock it without any key.
My head is the apple without e'er a core,
My mind is the house without e'er a door.
My heart is the palace wherein she may be
And she may unlock it without e'er a key.
I will be here
Tomorrow if you wake up
And the sun does not appear
I will be here
If we lose sight of love
Hold my hand and have no fear
‘aus I will be
here
I will be here
When you feel like being quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I
will listen
And I will be here
When the laughter turns to crying
Through the winning,
losing and trying
We'll be together
‘aus I will be here
Tomorrow if you wake up
And the
future is unclear
I will be here.
As season's are made for change
So our lives are made
for years
So I will be here
I will be here
And you can cry on my shoulder
When the mirror
tells us we're older
I will hold you,
And I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty,
And tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here.
I will be true to the promise I have made
To you and to the one who
gave you to me
So when you wake up, if the future is unclear,
I will be here
As season's are made for change
So our lives are made for years
I will
be here
We'll be together
I will be here.
Jesu, joy of man's desiring
Jesu, joy of man's desiring,
Holy Wisdom, Love most bright;
Drawn by Thee, our souls,
aspiring,
Soar to uncreated light.
Word of God, our flesh that fashion'd,
With the fire
of life impassion'd,
Striving still to truth unknown,
Soaring, dying, round Thy throne.
Through the way where hope is guiding,
Hark, what peaceful music rings!
Where the flock,
in Thee confiding,
Drink of joy from deathless springs.
Theirs is beauty's fairest
pleasure;
Theirs is wisdom's holiest treasure.
Thou dost ever lead Thine own
In the
love of joys unknown.
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee,
God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee,
opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;
drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness,
fill us with the light of day!
Mortals, join the happy chorus,
which the morning stars began;
Father love is reigning o‘er us,
brother love binds man to man.
Ever singing, march we onward,
victors in the midst of strife,
Joyful music leads us Sunward
in the triumph song of life.
Lord’s prayer
Our father who art in heaven.
Hallowed be Thy holy Name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done here upon earth as is in heaven.
Give us this day Lord our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive, help us to forgive
all those who would our debtors be.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from every wrong.
for Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory
now and for ever. Amen
Love me tender
Love me tender,
Love me sweet,
Never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
And I
love you so.
Love me tender,
Love me true,
All my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin’I love
you,
And I always will.
Love me tender,
Love me long,
Take me to your heart.
For its there
that I belong,
And well never part.
Love me tender,
Love me dear,
Tell me you are mine.
Ill
be yours through all the years,
Till the end of time.
Morning has broken
Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for the springing fresh from the word
Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day
O perfect Love
O perfect Love, all human thought transcending,
lowly we kneel in prayer before thy throne,
that theirs may be the love which knows no ending,
whom thou forevermore dost join in one.
O perfect Life, be thou their full assurance
of tender charity and steadfast faith,
of patient hope and quiet, brave endurance,
with childlike trust that fears nor pain nor death.
Grant them the joy which brightens earthly sorrow;
grant them the peace which calms all earthly strife,
and to life's day the glorious unknown morrow
that dawns upon eternal love and life.
Panis angelicus
Panis angelicus
fit panis hominum;
Dat panis coelicus
figuris terminum:
O res mirabilis!
Manducat Dominum
Pauper, servus et humilis.
The Bread of Angels
becomes the bread of men;
The Bread of heaven
ends all prefigurations:
What wonder!
a poor and humble servant
consumes him, the Lord.
Pie Jesu
Pie Jesu,
Qui tollis peccata mundi
Dona eis requiem.
Agnus Dei,
Qui tollis peccata
mundi
Dona eis requiem,
Sempiternam requiem.
She moved through the fair
My young love said to me my mother won't mind,
And my father won't slight you for
your lack of kind,
And she stepped away from me and this she did say,
'It will not
be long love till our wedding day.'
She stepped away from me and she moved through
the fair,
And fondly I watched her move here and move there,
He then she went homeward
with one star awake,
As the swan in the evening moves over the lake.
Last night she
came to me, she came softly in,
So softly she came that her feet made no din;
And she
laid her hand on me and this he did say,
'It will not be long love, till our wedding
day.'
Songbird
For you there all be no crying,
For you the sun will be shining,
Cause I feel that
when I’ with you
It’ alright, I know it’ alright,
And the songbirds keep singing
Like
they know the score,
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before.
To you,
I would give the world,
To you, I’ never be cold
Cause I feel that when I’ with you
It’
alright, I know it’ right
And the songbirds keep singing
Like they know the score,
And
I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before.
Like never before; like never
before.
The first time ever I saw your face
The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon
and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and endless skies, my love
To the
dark and empty skies
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move
in my hands
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command,
my love
That was there at my command
The first time I ever lay with you
And felt you
heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the world
And would last till
the and of time, my love
It would last till the end of time
The first time ever I saw
your face
Your face, your face
The King of love my shepherd is
The King of love my shepherd is
Whose goodness faileth never;
I nothing lack if I am his
And he is mine forever.
Where streams of living water flow,
My ransomed soul he leadeth
And, where the verdant
pastures grow,
With food celestial feedeth.
Perverse and foolish oft I strayed,
But yet in love he sought me
And on his shoulder
gently laid
And home rejoicing brought me.
In death’ dark vale I fear no ill
With thee, dear Lord, beside me,
Thy rod and staff
my comfort still,
Thy cross before to guide me.
Thou spredst a table in my sight;
Thine unction grace bestoweth;
And, oh, what transport
of delight
From thy pure chalice floweth!
And so through all the length of days
Thy goodness faileth never.
Good Shepherd, may
I sing thy praise
Within thy house forever.
The Lord's my Shepherd
The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want;
He makes me down to lie
In pastures green; He
leadeth me
The quiet waters by.
My soul He doth restore again
And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
E'en
for His own name's sake.
Yea, tho' I walk in death's dark vale,
Yet will I fear no ill;
For Thou art with me,
and Thy rod
And staff me comfort still.
My table Thou hast furnished
In presence of my foes;
My head Thou dost with oil anoint,
And
my cup overflows.
Goodness and mercy, all my life,
Shall surely follow me;
And in God's house forevermore
My
dwelling place shall be.
Unforgettable
Unforgettable, that’ what you are
Unforgettable though near or far
Like a song of love
that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone
been more
Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that’ how you’l stay
That’ why,
darling, its incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable
too
Wedding song (There is love)
He is now to be among you
at the calling of your hearts
Rest assured this troubadour
is
acting on His part.
The union of your spirits, here,
has caused Him to remain
for whenever
two or more of you
are gathered in His name
there is Love, there is Love.
Well, a man
shall leave his mother
and a woman leave her home
and they shall travel on to where
the
two shall be as one.
As it was in the beginning
is now and til the end
Woman draws her
life from man
and gives it back again.
And there is Love, there is Love.
Well then what's
to be the reason
for becoming man and wife?
Is it love that brings you here
or love
that brings you life?
And if loving is the answer,
then who's the giving for?
Do you
believe in something
that you've never seen before?
Oh there is Love, there is Love.
Oh
the marriage of your spirits here
has caused Him to remain
for whenever two or more
of you
are gathered in His name
there is Love, there is Love.
You are the sunshine of my life
You are the sunshine of my life
That’ why Ill always be around,
You are the apple of
my eye,
Forever you’l stay in my heart
I feel like this is the beginning,
Though I’e
loved you for a million years,
And if I thought our love was ending,
Id find myself
drowning in my own tears.
You are the sunshine of my life,
That’ why Ill always stay
around,
You are the apple of my eye,
Forever you’l stay in my heart,
You must have known
that I was lonely,
Because you came to my rescue,
And I know that this must be heaven,
How
could so much love be inside of you?
You are the sunshine of my life, yeah,
That’
why Ill always stay around,
You are the apple of my eye,
Forever you’l stay in my heart.
You light up my life
So many nights, I'd sit by my window,
Waiting for someone to sing me his song.
So many
dreams, I kept deep inside me,
Alone in the dark, now you've come along.
And you
light up my life,
You give me hope, to carry on.
You light up my days
And fill my nights
with song.
Rollin' at sea, adrift on the waters
Could it be finally, I'm turning for
home
Finally a chance to say, "Hey, I Love You"
Never again to be all alone.
And you
light up my life,
You give me hope, to carry on.
You light up my days
And fill my nights
with song.
You, You light up my life
You give me hope to carry on
You light up my days
And
fill my nights with song
It can't be wrong, when it feels so right
Cause you, you light
up my life
