Angel choirs above are raising; Cherubim and seraphim, In unceasing chorus praising. Fill the heavens with sweet accord, Holy, holy, holy Lord.

LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST PREPARATION OF THE GIFTS Peter & Kevin Hartley OFFERTORY HYMN Come As You Are

(sung by Mary Hartley)

1. Come as you are, that’s how I want you. Come as you are, feel quite at home. Close to my heart, loved and forgiven; come as you are, why stand alone?

2. No need to fear, love sets no limits. No need to fear, love never ends. Don’t run away shamed and dishearten’d. Rest in my love, trust me again.

3. I came to call sinners, not just the virtuous. I came to bring peace, not to condemn. Each time you fail to live by my promise, why do you think I’d love you the less?

4. Come as you are, that’s how I love you. Come as you are, trust me again. Nothing can change the love that I bear you. All will be well, just come as you are.

HOLY HOLY (Sung)

All: 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.

COMMUNION HYMN Be Not Afraid . You shall cross the barren desert, but you shall not die of thirst.

You shall wander far in safety though you do not know the way. You shall speak your words in foreign lands and all will understand. You shall see the face of God and live. (Antiphon)

Antiphon: Be not afraid. I go before you always. Come follow Me, and I will give you rest.

2. If you pass through raging waters in the sea, you shall not drown. If you walk amid the burning flames, you shall not be harmed. If you stand before the pow'r of hell and death is at your side, know that I am with you through it all. (Antiphon)

3. Blessed are your poor, for the kingdom shall be theirs, Blest are you that weep and mourn for one day you shall laugh. And if wicked men insult and hate you all because of Me, blessed, blessed are you! (Antiphon)

READING Romans 14:7-9

from the letter of St Paul to the Romans

read by Monica Smith

We do not live to ourselves,

and we do not die to ourselves.

If we live, we live to the Lord,

and if we die, we die to the Lord;

so then, whether we live or whether we die,

we are the Lord’s.

For to this end Christ died and lived again,

so that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.

We shall all stand before the judgment seat of God.

For it is written, “As I live, says the Lord,

every knee shall bow to me,

and every tongue shall give praise to God.”

So then, each of us will be accountable to God.

The Word of the Lord.

All: Thanks be to God.

READING 2 Timothy 4:6-8

from the second letter of St Paul to Timothy

read by Kevin Lappin

As for me,

my life is already being poured away as a libation,

and the time for my departure has come.

I have fought the good fight,

I have finished the race,

I have kept the faith.

From now on there is reserved for me

the crown of righteousness,

which the Lord, the righteous judge,

will give me on that day,

and not only to me

but also to all who have longed for his appearing.

The Word of the Lord.

All: Thanks be to God.
