I watch the sunrise:                                       

                                               In Bread we bring you, Lord

In bread we bring you Lord, our bodies labour.                   And now in answer Lord our      

In wine, we offer you our spirits grief. We do                    gifts we bring, Our selfish    

not ask you, Lord who is my neighbour? But                      hearts make true our failing            

stand united now, in one belief Oh we have                       faith renew, our lives belong               

gladly heard your word, your holy word,                            to you Our Lord and King.

 

                                  (Communion) "The Cloud's Veil"

Even though the rain hides the stars                                   Bright the stars at night      

even though the mist swirls the hills,                                   that mirror heaven's way to you.        

even when the dark clouds veil the sky                                               Bright the stars in light where dwell                   

You are by my side                                                                                the saints in love and truth

           

 Even when the sun shall fall in                                            Blest are they who sing the           

 sleep, even when at dawn the sky                                       fellowship of saints in light.                

 shall weep, even in the night when storms shall rise.        Blest in heaven's King

 You is by my side, You are by my side.                                              All saints  adore the Lord, most high.

                                      Lady of Knock.

There were people of all ages gathered                    Through your message was unspoken,

around the gable wall poor and humble men                  still the truth in silence lies as we      

and women, little children that you called                  gaze upon your vision, and the truth I

we are gathered here before you, and our                   try to find, here I stand with John the

hearts are just the same filled with joy at                  teacher, and with Joseph at your side

such a vision, as we praise your name.                         and I see the Lamb of God, on the altar

Golden Rose, Queen of Ireland, all my cares               glorified. Golden Rose Queen of Ireland

 and troubles cease as we kneel with love                  all my cares and trouble cease as we

before you, Lady of Knock, my Queen of                  kneel with love before you Lady of                   

Peace.                                                                             Knock, my Queen of Peace

 

                            And the lamb will conquer and the woman

                            clothed in the sun will shine her light on everyone (x2)
