Hail Mary, full of grace. 2 Blessèd were the chosen people Out of whom the Lord did come, Blessèd was the land of promise Fashioned for his earthly home; But more blessèd far the Mother She who bare him in her womb. Hail Mary, full of grace. 3 Wherefore let all faithful people Tell the honour of her name, Let the Church in her foreshadowed Part in her thanksgiving claim; What Christ's Mother sang in gladness Let Christ's people sing the same. Hail Mary, full of grace. 4 Let us weave our supplications, She with us and we with her, For the advancement of the faithful, For each faithful worshipper, For the doubting, for the sinful, For each heedless wanderer. Hail Mary, full of grace. 5 *May the Mother's intercessions On our homes a blessing win, That the children all be prospered, Strong and fair and pure within, Following our Lord's own footsteps, Firm in faith and free from sin. Hail Mary, full of grace. 6 *For the sick and for the agèd, For our dear ones far away, For the hearts that mourn in secret, All who need our prayers today, For the faithful gone before us, May the holy Virgin pray. Hail Mary, full of grace. 7 Praise, O Mary, praise the Father, Praise thy Saviour and thy Son, Praise the everlasting Spirit, Who hath made thee ark and throne; O'er all creatures high exalted, Lowly praise the Three in One. Hail Mary, full of grace. Used With Tune: DAILY, DAILY

The wisdom of my God to teach, His hand to guide, his shield to ward; The word of God to give me speech, His heavenly host to be my guard. 6 I bind unto myself the name, The strong name of the Trinity; By invocation of the same, The Three in One, and One in Three. Of whom all nature hath creation; Eternal Father, Spirit, Word: Praise to the Lord of my salvation, Salvation is of Christ the Lord. Used With Tune: ST PATRICK'S BREASTPLATE

Come with All Joy to Sing to God

Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Processions Lyrics: 1 Come with all joy to sing to God our saving rock, the living Lord; in glad thanksgiving seek his face with songs of victory and grace. 2 In holiness and light arrayed above all gods that we have made, he is the one almighty King, and his the glory that we sing. 3 The earth is his from east to west, from ocean floor to mountain crest; he made the sea and formed the lands, he shaped the islands by his hands. 4 Come near to worship! Come with faith, bow down to God who gives us breath: God is our shepherd, God alone; we are his people, all his own. 5 But if you hear his voice today do not reject what he will say; when Israel wandered from God's path they suffered forty years of wrath. 6 That generation went astray; they did not want to know his way: they put their Saviour to the test, and saw his power, but lost their rest.

The blessing of God's holy house upon you we proclaim.

Amen. Used With Tune: ISTE CONFESSOR (2)
