1. As we gather on this morn
Celebrating freedom’s dawn,
Our young hearts to God we raise,
In thanksgiving and in praise.
CHORUS: God of nations hear our prayer,
Bless this land so great so fair,
May all strife within it cease
Give it harmony and peace
May its people e’er be true,
To their country and to you.
2. As we face the future bright,
Trustfully we pray for light,
For our leaders that they may
Guide us wisely on our way. (Chorus)
3. May India’s daughters ever be
Conscious of their dignity,
May they e’er be good and great
In the home and in the state. (Chorus)

1. I will give thanks to you,
Oh Lord, among the people
I will sing praises to you among the nations,
For your steadfast love is great, is great, to the heavens And your faithfulness, your faithfulness to the clouds.
Be exalted; oh lord, above the heavens……
Let your glory be over all the earth.(2)
2. It is good to thank you, Lord
And to praise your name with music,
To proclaim your love and mercy in the morning
For your deeds have made me glad
At your works I shout in triumph
Yes, how wonderful and how marvelous are your designs….
Be exalted, Oh Lord, above the heavens…..
Let your glory be over all the earth (2)

You are kind to us, o God; full of tender love and mercy

1. No one can live as an island,
Journeying through life alone.
Since we’re most loved by a mother,
Jesus gave us His own.
Be with us Mary, along the way,
Guide ev’ry step we take.
Lead us to Jesus your loving son.
Come with us, Mary, come.
2. When Jesus met with rejection,
Mary stood by the cross;
How can a mother desert her son?
She’ll also stand by us.
3. Help us, O star of the ocean,
Be with us in our strife,
When we are faced with temptation,
Tossed by the storms of life.

Bless this food for our use,
Come O Lord and sit with us;
Make our hearts grow in peace,
Bring your love to surround us.
Friendship and peace,
may you bloom and grow,
Bloom and grow forever.
Bless our homes,
bless our friends,
Bless all mankind forever.

God is good all the time
He puts a song of praise in this heart of mine
God is good, all the time
Through the darkest night, his light will shine
God is good, he’s o good all the time
1. If you’re walking, through the valley and there’s shadows all around
Do not fear he will guide you, he will keep you safe and sound.
Cause he has promised to never leave you, nor forsake you.
And his word is true …. CHORUS2. We were sinners, so unworthy still for us he chose to die.
Filled us with his Holy Spirit, now we can stand and testify.
They will never end. CHORUS..

1. Mother of all that is pure and glad
All that is bright and blest
As we have taken our toil to Thee
So we will take our rest
Take Thou and bless our holiday
O Causa nostrae Laetitiae.
2.Be with us Mother, from morn till eve
Thou and Thy Blessed Son
Keep us from all that is grief to Thee
Till the weeks and the months are run

In His time, In His Time
He makes all things beautiful in His time.
Lord please show me every day
As your teaching me Your way
That You do just what You sayIn Your time.
In Your time, In Your Time
You make all things beautiful in Your time.
Lord my life to You I bring
May each song I have to sing
Be to you a lovely thing
In Your time. There’s a time, there’s time
Both for sowing and for reaping there’s a time.
Time for losing time for gain
Time for joy and time for pain
Every purpose under heaven has a time.
There are times, there are days
Weeks and mountains we cannot understand God’s way
If for years we fail to scan
What is his eternal plan
We’ll remember that he can all the time.

CHORUS: It takes courage to answer a call,
It takes courage to give your all,
It takes courage to risk your name
It takes courage to be true,
1. It takes courage to dare What no other will share,
To be standing alone, One whom no one will own,
To be ready to stake for another man’s sake.
It takes courage to be true.
2. It takes courage to say what you know will not pay.
To give each one his share though there’ll be less to spare.
To be seeking no more than the neighbour next door.
It takes courage to be true.3. It takes courage to leave what good fortune can give,
And to go to a land where the poor need a hand;
To be spending one’s days in less leisurely ways.
It takes courage to be true.

Lay your hands gently upon us
Let their touch render your peace
Let them bring You forgiveness and
Healing
Lay your hands gently lay your hands
You were sent to free the broken hearted
You were sent to give sight to the blind
You desire to heal all our illness
Lay your hands gently lay your hands.
Lord we come to You through one
Another
Lord we come to You in our need
Lord we come to You seeking wholeness
Lay your hands gently lay your hands

Living waters flow on
Sweep away my pain
Bring your healing to my heart
Help me love once again
Cares and worries get me down
Fear of failure fills my day
When I'm lost and all alone
Help me Lord to find Your way
People knocking at my door
Strangers seeking love and care
Never let me turn them down
Teach me gently how to share
Children come into my life
With their laughter and their song
When will I become like them
Teach me Lord to sing along
Living waters flow on
Sweep away my pain
Bring your healing to my heart
Help me love once again

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.
Chorus: 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.
Chorus: Make me a channel of your peace
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
In giving to all men that we receive
And in dying that we're born to eternal
life. Chorus:

May the good Lord bless and keep you
Whether near or far away
May you find that long awaited
Golden day today
May your troubles all be small ones
And your fortunes ten times ten
May the good Lord bless and keep you
Till we meet again
May you walk with sunlight shining
And a bluebird in every tree
May there be a silver lining
Back up every cloud you see
Fill your dreams with sweet tomorrows
Never mind what might have been
May the good Lord bless and keep you
Till we meet again
(May you walk with sunlight shining)
And a bluebird in every tree
(May there be a silver lining)
Back up every cloud you see
Fill your dreams with sweet tomorrows
Never mind what might have been
May the good Lord bless and keep you
Till we meet again
May the good Lord bless and keep you
Till we meet again
Till we meet again

1. My life is in you, Lord
My strength is in you, Lord
My hope is in you, Lord, in you, it’s in you
2. I’ll praise you with all of my life
I’ll praise you with all of my Strength
With all of my life, with all of my strength
All of my Hope is in you…..

Oh give thanks to the Lord He is good (3)
Yes eternal is his love
I will sing to the Lord never ceasing
All my life I will tell of his wonders
He’s the maker of all earth and heaven
All the ocean, the seas and all they hold….
CHORUS The almighty is faithful forever
He is just to the poor and outraged
It is He who gives bread to the hungry
Who delivers the captives from their chains….. CHORUS

Open the eyes of my heart, Lord
Open the eyes of my heart
I want to see you.
To see you high and lifted up
Shining in the light of your glory
As we cry holy, holy, holy….
Holy, holy, holy.

Lord I come to You, Let my heart be changed, renewed
Flowing from the grace, that I have found in You
And Lord I have come to know, the weaknesses I see in me
Will be stripped away by the power of your love
Chorus: Hold me close, Let your love surround me
Bring me near; Draw me to your side
And as I wait, I will rise up like the eagle
And I will soar with you; Your Spirit leads me on
In the power of your love
Lord unveil my eyes let me see you face to face
The knowledge of your love, as you live in me
And Lord renew my mind, as your will unfolds in my life
In living every day, by the power of your love…

Shepherd of my soul
I gave you full control wherever you may lead I will follow
I have made a choice to listen to your voice
Wherever you may lead I will go.
Be it in the quiet pasture or by a gentle stream,
The shepherd of my soul is by my side
Should I face a mighty mountain or a valley dark and deep
The shepherd of my soul will be my guide.

There shall be showers of blessings
This is the promise of love
There shall be seasons refreshing
Send from the savior above….
Showers of blessings,
Showers of blessings we need
Mercy drops round us falling,
But for the showers we plead.
There shall be showers of blessings
Send them upon us oh Lord
Grant to us now a refreshing
Come and now honour thy word

Walk with me, oh my Lord,
Through the darkest night and brightest day
Be at my side, oh Lord,
Hold my hand and guide me on my way.
Sometimes the road seems long,
My energy is spent.
Then, Lord, I think of you
And I am given strength
Walk with me, oh my Lord,
Through the darkest night and brightest day
Be at my side, oh Lord,
Hold my hand and guide me on my way.
Stones often bar my path,
And there are times I fall,
But you are always there
To help me when I call.
Walk with me, oh my Lord,
Through the darkest night and brightest days Be at my side, oh Lord,
Hold my hand and guide me on my way.
Just as you calmed the wind
And walked upon the sea
Conquer, my living Lord
The storms that threaten me.

We are gathering together unto him,
Unto him shall the gathering of the people be,
We are gathering together unto him.
We are singing…. We are praying…..
We are off’ring…. We are praising

We shall overcome, we shall overcome,
We shall overcome someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We shall overcome someday.

1. What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!
2. Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged—Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful,
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
3. Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge—Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be
