Communion

Holy is His Name

Verse 1
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord
And my spirit exalts in God my savior
For He has looked with mercy on my lowliness
And my name will be forever exalted
For the mighty God has done great things for me
And His mercy will reach from age to age
And holy, holy, holy is His name
Verse 2
He has mercy in every generation
He has revealed His power and His glory
He has cast down the mighty in their arrogance
And has lifted up the meek and the lonely
He has come to help His servant Israel
He remembered His promise to our fathers
And holy, holy, holy is His name

O Come To The Throne Of Grace

Verse 1
O come to the throne of grace,
O come to the heart most pure!
To Mary, our hope of life,
In whom salvation is sure.
Refrain
O Queen of the Rosary, hail!
Immaculate Mother of grace;
O pray for us, help us today,
Thou hope of the human race!
Verse 2
Immaculate Heart! we kneel
To consecrate all to thee:
The present, its pain and joy
The future, all it may be.
Verse 3
The sun at thy royal word
Spun round like a splendid toy;
The rose petals showering down
Proclaimed thee cause of our joy.
Verse 4
The Rosary, white and gold,
We take from thy Virgin hand;
A pledge of the power of God
To heal and strengthen our land.
Verse 5
O Mother of Sorrows, hail!
We mourn for our evil done;
O soften our selfish hearts,
And lead us back to thy Son.
