Meat for our fold, and bread to our heart’s content, this is the bread which the Lord has sent for our eating. On the evening of the Pasch the people of Israel must immolate a kid and must eat meat and unleavened bread, the bread sent from heaven is not what Moses gave you, the real bread of heaven is sent to feed all of man kind with its holy word. Our praises are for the merciful Lord in remembrance of his great deeds. The hill drips like hot wax at the presence of the Lord; his presence, which all the earth obeys is the presence of the holy word now in our hearts. Amen.

Let us ever the same cry pass between us Let us ever the same cry pass between us, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God of hosts, all the earth is full of his glory.

Our conduct may be made whole again Our conduct may be made whole again By the healing power of the word from heaven. He, seeing their faith, said: Man thy sins are forgiven, seeing that you despair of obtaining pardon, get the church to pray for you so that seeing this, the Lord may grant the forgiveness you seek. After a little suffering, his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will himself give us mastery and steadiness against our sins. Lord have mercy on us is our prayer.

Throw back on him the burden of all your anxiety: he is always concerned for you We are eating and drinking damnation to ourselves if we eat and drink unworthily, not recognizing the Lord’s body for what it is; a wondrous thing this banquet, bring heath to the soul and filled it with sweetness that by faith shall we ever know! What could be more then this banquet, fit to feed the spirit with the Holy Ghost? We are refreshed and content as in honor pledged; by sure paths he leads us. Dark be the valley about our path, we fear none while we walk the path of the Lord. Amen.

We wait for the Lord We wait for the Lord, for his word of promise, our return is our love of faith we pray. How deep is the mind of God’s wisdom, thank be to thee, O God, thank be to thee, true and one Trinity, one and supreme Deity; holy and one Unity. Let us praise and extol his name for ever, the Lord reigns as King of kings; let earth be glad of it, let nations, many nation, rejoice! Art thou not sovereign Lord of earth, beyond measure exalted above all gods? With unchanging love God loves us, rejoice you shall drink deep from the fountain of deliverance. Is it not worth the love of ten sons; the love that we bear thee? Lord, let thy mercy rest upon us, we who put all our confidence in thee, to thee be glory and power through endless ages, amen.

Give thanks to the Lord with the violin’s music Give thanks to the Lord with the violin’s music Praise him with the harp, piano, the drums, guitar and with voices, for him let a new song, a new poem be born, that last for generation after generation. Let not the force of that fair love fad and depart from this heart of mine. Be it so, Father, since this finds favor in thy sight, thy in whom mercy, pardon and grace abound, be it so that we may live in the light of thy mercy. This cup, he said, is a new testament in my blood, I shall do this for the commemoration of thee, by faith shall I always believe Glory be to the Father, and the son, and the Holy Ghost. So he who eat of the Lord’s grace will live in his turn a full belly. Blow the trumpet and all the horns in the service of your God. Let the piano be full of praises that set your soul at ease and do please the Lord at every turn of the notes. Amen.

Grant to thy Church we pray thee Grant to thy Church we pray thee, merciful Lord how present is the feast when we share it, thou and I.

By morning light our voice will rise, at eve we make our prayer against all adversity through our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Heart of Jesus was wounded for his love of us The Heart of Jesus was wounded for his love of us, come, let us adore him. He has fashioned each man’s nature, and weight the action of each. I bewailed my unhappy lot; bewail, I say for, man faith is false when it dose not lie in the faith given to God our own intimate friend, who send forth his grace to us who have faith in him. Praise the Lord, Jerusalem; Sion exalts thy God! My Son gives me the gift of thy heart; scan closely the path I show thee. To thee, O Christ, be glory meet, forth from whose heart all grace does pour, thou open the heaven’s gate to all..

If you but follow in his holy way The train departs will you but get on board. True, he win renown for the strength of thine From a humble soul an obedient will.

Judge not that you be judge is my one true creed. It is not for you to dictate God’s rules You who judge us are filled with sinful greed. From your mouth does sinfulness drool. To think yourself godly you are true fools. God shall truly strike you as he do school
