Far
away
Whereever I go
Far away and anywhere
Time after time you always shine
through dark of night calling after me
And whereever I climb
Far away and anywhere
You raise me high beyond the sky
through stormy night lifting me above
Venite Spiritu et emitte caelitus
Venite Spiritu et emitte caelitus
Venite Spiritu Venite Spiri tus
Whenever I cry
Far away and anywhere
You hear me call when shadows fall
your light of hope showing me the way |

Going
Home
Going home going home
I am going home
Quiet like, some still day
I am going home
It's not far, just close by,
through an open door
Work all done, care laid by
never fear no more
Mother's there expecting me
Father's waiting too
Lots of faces gathered there
All the friends I knew
I'm just going home
No more fear No more pain
No more stumbling by the way
No more longing for the day
Going to run no more
Morning star lights the way
Restless dreams all gone
Shadows gone, break of day
real life has begun
There's no break, there's no end
Just living on
Wide awake, with a smile
going on and on
Going home Going home
I am going home
shadows gone break of day
real life has begun
I'm just going home |

Salva
me
Domine deus miserere mei
Carry me away
From the dark I fear
When the storm is near
From the endless night
From my blinded sight
To a sky of light
Free me to fly away
Salva me
Carry me away
From the things that harm
On a sea of calm
From the endless night
From my blinded sight
To a sky of light |

Silent
night
Silent night, Holy night,
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night Holy night,
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia;
Christ the Saviour is born,
Christ the Saviour is born.
Silent night, Holy night,
Son of God Love’s pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face,
with the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth. |

Always
with you
Do you know me, who I am?
I am always with you
I am near you every day,
Always share what you do
Follow the path to anywhere,
A stranger in the world without you
Forever I will be there,
The shadow you always knew
Beati quorum via, integra est
If you think I’ve gone away,
And am never with you
I am not so far away,
Always shadowing you |

Wings
of a Dove
If I had wings of a dove,
Far, far away would I fly and hide away
To be at rest
If I could wing above,
So far on high and be free to steal away
And be at rest
Dona nobis Domine perpetua in saecula
Dona nobis pacem
For everything above
Across the sky, can be free to soar on high,
And be at rest
Exaudi orationem dona Domine
Exaudo orattionem dona nobis pacem |

Prayer
When at night I go to sleep,
Fourteen angels watch do keep
Two my head are guarding,
Two my feet are guiding
Two are on my right hand,
Two are on my left hand
Two who warmly hold me,
Two with love enfold me
Two who show me when I rise
The way to heaven’s paradise |

Something
Sings
Let me go where I will,
I hear a sky born music still
It sounds from all things old,
It sounds from all things young
From all that’s fair, from all that’s dark,
Peals out an everlasting song
Not only in the rose,
It is not only in the bird
Not only rainbow glows,
Nor in it’s music heard
But in the dark and cold of things,
There always, always something sings
‘ Tis not in stars alone,
Nor in the bloom of spring born flowers
Nor in the robin’s song,
Nor in the glint of showers
But in the dark and cold of things,
There always, always something sings |

New
Day
I will love you more than me and more than yesterday
If you can but prove to me you are the new day
Send the sun in time for dawn, let the birds all hail the morning
Love of life will let me say you are the new day
When I lay me down at night, knowing we must pay
Thoughts occur that this night might stay yesterday
Thoughts that we as humans swore, could slow worlds and end it
all
lie around me where they fall, before the new day
One more day when time is running out for everyone
Like a breath I knew would come, I reach for the new day
Hope is my philosophy, just needs days in which to be
Love of life means hope for me, born on a new day
You are the new day |

Abide
with me
Abide with me; fast falls the eventide
The darkness deepens, Lord with me abide
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me
Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away
Change and decay in all around I see
O Thou who changest not, abide with me
I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me |

Sing
for ever
I will sing for you at the start of each day,
I’ll sing for ever, sing for you
In all things I do in the dawn of' my life,
I'll sing for ever, sing for you
Shutting out night my life renewed,
Happy for love that is to come
Opening eyes I’ll follow you
Glad to see, glad to be yours
Echoing what you say,
Shining out what you are,
Out of dark, into your light
I will sing for you in the light of each day
I’ll sing for ever, sing for you
In all things I do at the noon of my life,
I'll sing for ever, sing for you
I will sing for you at the end of each day,
I’ll sing for ever, sing for you
In all things I do in the eve of my life,
I’ll sing for ever, sing for you
I will sing for you each and every day,
I'll sing for ever, sing for you
In all things I do to the end of my life
I'll sing for ever, sing for you |

We
are the lost
We are the lost who lived and loved
We felt the dawn saw sunset glow
for now we lie in row on row
in Flanders fields
O lux beata lumina
The larks fly high where guns destroyed
Now poppies grow and crosses show
where now we lie in Flanders fields
in row on row
Time like an ever rolling stream
bears all its sons away
They fly forgotten as a dream
dies at the break of day
We shall not sleep who lived and loved
who felt the dawn saw sunset glow
If you break faith with us who lie
in Flanders fields
From failing hands we throw the torch
Our light be yours to hold it high
For now we lie in Flanders fields
in row on row |

Illuminosa, immortalis
Sancta gloriosa

I am the new hope in the morning
I am the darkness, soon to be light
I am the rising and the falling |

I
vow to thee
I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,
entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love:
the love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,
that lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
the love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
the love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.
And there's another country, I've heard of long ago,
most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
we may not count her armies, we may not see her King;
her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
and soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,
and her ways are ways of gentleness and all her paths are peace. |

Be
still my soul
Be still my soul - the Lord is on thy side;
bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
leave to thy God to order and provide;
in every change - he faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul - thy best thy heavenly Friend
through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
Be still my soul - when dearest friends depart,
and all is darkened in the vale of tears,
then shalt thou better know his love - his heart,
who comes to soothe thy sorrow and thy fears.
Be still, my soul - the waves and winds still know
his voice who ruled them - while he dwelt below.
Be still my soul the hour is hastening on
when we shall be forever with the Lord,
when disappointment - grief and fear are gone,
sorrow forgot - love's purest joys restored,.
Be still my soul - when change and tears are past,
all safe and blessed - we shall meet at last. |

Orinoco
Flow
Let me sail, let me sail, let the Orinoco flow
Let me reach, let me beach on the shores of Tripoli
Let me sail, let me sail, let me crash upon your shore
Let me reach, let me beach far beyond the yellow sea
Sail away
From Bissau to Palau in the shade of Avalon
From Fiji to Tiree and the Isles of Ebony
From Peru to Cebu, feel the power of Babylon
From Bali to Cali far beneath the Coral Sea
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up - Adieu
From the North to the South, Ebudae unto Khartoum
From the deep Sea of Clouds to the Island of the Moon
Carry me on the waves to the lands I've never been
Carry me on the waves to the lands I've never seen |

Secret
I wish the dawn may know nothing of the name that I told the night
I wish like mist in the morning it drifts away silently to hide
away
So carry away to never see light of day
keep hidden away for eternity - a secret song
I dream the day could proclaim the love of the name that I told
the night
I dream that glorious daylight uncovers the mystery I hide away
I pray to hide from the sunset the secret I told the day
I pray to carry away the love and drift away silently and hide
away |

Rest
in peace
For all who need comfort for all those who mourn
all those whom we cherished will be reborn
All those whom we love but see no more
they are not perished, but gone before
and lie in the tender arms of he who died for us all to set us
free
from hatred and anger and cruel tyranny
may they rest in peace - and rise in glory
All suffering and sorrow will be no more
they'll vanish like shadows at heaven’s door
All anguish and grieving will one day be healed
when all of God's purpose will be revealed.
Though now for a season lost from sight
the innocent slain in the blindness of 'right'
are now in the warmth of God's glorious light
where they rest in peace - and rise in glory
Lord give me wisdom to comprehend why I survive and not my friend
and teach me compassion so I may live, all my enemies to forgive
For all who need comfort for all those who mourn
all those whom we cherished will be reborn
All those whom we love but see no more
they are not perished but gone before
And Lord keep them safe in your embrace
and fill their souls with your good grace
for now they see you face to face
where they rest in peace - and rise in glory |

Love
and mercy
I was sitting in a crummy movie with my hands on my chin
all the violence that occurs seems like we never win
Oh, love and mercy are what you need tonight
Love and mercy to you and your friends tonight
I was lying in my room and the news came on TV
there's a lot of people out there hurting and it really scares
me
Oh, love and mercy are what you need tonight
Love and mercy to you and your friends tonight
I was standing in a bar and watching all the people there
all the loneliness in this world - it's just not fair
Oh, love and mercy are what you need tonight
Love and mercy to you and your friends tonight |

May

May the road rise up to meet you
may the wind be always at your back
May the rains fall soft upon you
and the sun shine warm upon your face
And true be the hearts that love you
peace ever with you and until we meet again -
May the path light up before you
and the clouds forsake the skies above
May the warmth of sun surround you
and the stars shine bright to guide you home
And true be the hearts that love you
peace ever with you and until we meet again -
May God hold you in the palm of his hand
May he hold you evermore |

Never
be alone
A whisper in heaven re-echoes around
the songs of the angels resound
Their music of light chases darkness away
The voices uplifted to say -
You’ll never be alone
Though their music is lost in the noise of the storm
and the whispers are drowned in the flood
Their message of hope is not fading away
The echoes will never decay -
You’ll never be alone |

Jerusalem
And did those feet in ancient time walk upon England's mountains
green
and was the holy Lamb of God on England's pleasant pastures seen
and did the countenance divine shine forth upon our clouded hills
and was Jerusalem builded here among those dark satanic mills
Bring me my bow of burning gold, bring me my arrows of desire
Bring me my spear, O clouds unfold, bring me my chariots of fire
I will not cease from mental fight, nor shall my sword sleep in
my hand
'til we have built Jerusalem in England's green and pleasant land |

Glory to Thee my God this night, for all the blessings of the light
Keep me O keep me, King of Kings, beneath thine own almighty wings
Forgive me Lord, for thy dear Son, the ill that I this day have

that with the world myself and thee, I ere I sleep at peace may
be
Praise God from whom all blessings flow, praise him all creatures
here below
Praise him above angelic host, praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost |

The
lamb
Little Lamb who made thee
dost thou know who made thee?
Gave thee life and bid thee feed
by the stream and o'er the mead
Gave thee clothing of delight
softest clothing wooly bright
Gave thee such a tender voice
making all the vales rejoice, rejoice
Little Lamb who made thee
dost thou know who made thee?
Little Lamb I'll tell thee
Little Lamb I'll tell thee
He is called by thy name
for he calls himself a Lamb
He is meek and he is mild
he became a little child
I a child and thou a lamb
we are called by his name
Little Lamb God bless thee
Little Lamb God bless thee |
