Choose to live or to die,
Love to give or deny.
Life and love now blending. 
Love is life unending.

gift of love from your birth;
shared our life, gave us worth;
to yourself inviting, 
God with us uniting

203 As earth that is dry

As earth that is dry and parched in the sun lies
Waiting for rain,
My soul is a desert, arid and waste;
It longs for your word, O Lord.

Refrain:
Come to the waters, all you who thirst,
Come, now, and eat my bread.

Though you have no money,
come, buy my corn
and drink my red wine.
Why spend precious gold on what will not last?
Hear me, and your soul will live. (refrain)

As one on a journey strays from the road
and falls in the dark,
my mind is a wanderer, choosing wrong paths
and longing to find a star. (refrain)

The Lord is your light,
the Lord is your strength;
Turn back to him now.
For his ways are not the ways you would choose,
And his thoughts are always new. (refrain)

As rain from the mountains falls on the land
and brings forth the seed,
the word of the Lord sinks deep in our hearts,
creating the flower of truth. (refrain)

Holy, Holy         plainchant

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts.
Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name
of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.

Memorial Acc    plainchant (Save us Saviour)

Save us, Saviour of the world,
for by your Cross and Resurrection
you have set us free.

Communion           204 Lord Jesus think on me

1. Lord Jesus, think on me,
And purge away my sin,
From worldly passions set me free,
And make me pure within.
Lord Jesus, think on me,
With care and woe oppressed;
Let me your loving servant be,
And taste your promised rest.

2. Lord Jesus, think on me,
Amid the battle's strife;
In all my pain and misery,
Please be my health and life.
Lord Jesus, think on me,
Nor let me go astray;
Thru' darkness and perplexity,
Point to the heav'nly way.

3. Lord Jesus, think on me,
And grant me this desire,
That I, with mind and limbs set free
May join the heav'nly choir.
Lord Jesus, think on me,
That when the flood is past,
I may th'eternal brightness see
And share your joy at last.

                 
842 Come back to me (Hosea)

1. Come back to me with all your heart,
don't let fear keep us apart.
Trees do bend, tho' straight and tall;
so must we to others' call.

Refrain:
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. (Refrain)

3. You shall sleep secure with peace;
faithfulness will be your joy. (Refrain)

(interlude)

Optional: 
965 As the deer pants for the water

As the deer pants for the water
So my soul longs after you
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship you

Refrain:
You alone are my strength, my shield
To you alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my hearts desire
And I long to worship you

I want you more than gold or silver
Only you can satisfy
You alone are the real joy giver
And the apple of my eye

You're my friend and you're my Brother
Even though you are a King
I love you more than any other
So much more than anything


End               938 Soul of my Saviour

1. Soul of my Savior, sanctify my breast;
Body of Christ, be thou my saving guest;
Blood of my Savior, bathe me in thy tide;
Wash me with water flowing from his side.

2. Strength and protection may thy Passion be;
O Blessed Jesus, hear and answer me;
Deep in thy wounds, Lord, hide and shelter me;
So shall I never, never part from thee.

3. Hear me, Lord Jesus, listen as I pray;
"Lead me from night to never ending day.
Fill all the world with love and grace divine,
And glory, laud, and praise be ever thine."


To learn for the future:

695 Glory and praise to our God
Refrain:
Glory and praise to our God
Who alone gives light to our days
Many are the blessings He bears
To those who trust in His ways  (Refrain)

We the daughters and sons of Him
Who built the valleys and plains
Praise the wonders our God has done
In every heart that sings  (Refrain)

In His wisdom He strengthens us
Like gold that's tested in fire
Though the power of sin prevails
Our God is there to save (Refrain)

Bridge: 
God has watered our barren land
And spent His merciful rain
Now our rivers of life run full
For anyone to drink  (Refrain)
