PRAYER TO THE SACRED HEART
Merciful Jesus, I consecrate myself today and always to Your Most Sacred Heart.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I implore, that I may ever love You more and more.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in You!
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I believe in Your love for me.
Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make my heart like Yours.
Amen.
ENTRANCE: GOD OF MERCY AND COMPASSION
1.
God of mercy and compassion,
Look with pity upon me;
Father let me call Thee “Father”,
Tis Thy child returns to Thee.
Chorus:
Jesus Lord! I ask for mercy,
Let me not implore in vain.
All my sins I now detest them,
Help me not to sin again.
2.
By my sins I have deserved,
Death and endless misery;
Hell with all its pains and torments,
And for all eternity.
3.
By my sins I have abandoned,
Right to claim to heaven above,
Where the saints rejoice forever,
In a boundless sea of love.
OFFERTORY: TAKE MY LIFE, O LORD
1.
Take my life, O Lord and make it Yours,
Take my intellect and will.
Let Your Spirit be my guide and light,
Every moment of the day and night.
O take my voice and make me sing Your praise,
Glory to You my God on high.
2.
Take my heart, O Lord I give to You,
Yours to freely come and go.
Grant that I may live to love You more,
Every moment of my days and nights.
O take myself and make me Yours alone,
Jesus, my Lord, my God, my all.
3.
Jesus, dearest Lord, I love You so,
Keep me close to Your dear heart.
Take my hands and make them serve You well,
Always faithful cheerful, happy too.
O take my feet and make them swift to move,
Jesus, my Lord, my God, my all.
COMMUNION: AMAZING GRACE (MY CHAINS ARE GONE)
1.
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see
2.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
My chains are gone, I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love
Amazing grace
3.
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures
My chains are gone, I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love
Amazing grace
4.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, who called me here below
Will be forever mine, will be forever mine
You are forever mine
RECESSIONAL: HOSEA
1.
Come back to me with all your heart,
Don’t let fear keep us apart.
Trees do bend, though straight and tall,
So must we to others’ call.
Chorus:
Long have I waited,
For your coming home to me,
And living deeply our new life.
2.
The wilderness will lead you,
To your heart where I will speak.
Integrity and justice,
With tenderness you shall know.
3.
You shall sleep secure with peace,
Faithfulness will be your joy.
