1. I am the day
   • play
   • pause
   • stop
   close

   I am the day, soon to be born
   I am the light before the morning

   I am the night, that will be dawn
   I am the end and the beginning

   I am the alpha and omega
   The night and day, the first and last

   Illuminosa, immortalis
   Sancta gloriosa
   Illuminosa, immortalis
   Sancta gloriosa
   In aeterna

   I am the life, soon to begin
   I am the new hope in the morning

   I am the darkness, soon to be light
   I am the rising and the falling
2. Stay with me

   • pause
   • stop
   close

   You are everything I know
   Which ever way I go
   For ever stay with me

   Venite angeli
   Cantate domino
   Laudate

   You see me through when ever I’m afraid
   However far away
   For ever comfort me

   You’re on my side whichever way I choose
   In everything I do
   For ever stay with me
3. Voca me
   • play
   • pause
   • stop
   close

   As secret as a dream you call
   As silent as the night for all you cry
   Lacrymosa

   Lacrymosa dies illa
   Dolorosa Domine
   Voca
   Voca Me

   You whisper in my silent sleep
   You answer to my call when lost I cry
   Lacrymosa
4. Song of enchantment
   • play
   • pause
   • stop
   close

   A song of enchantment I sang me there
   In a green green wood by waters fair
   Just as the words came up to me
   I sang it under a wild wood tree

   Widdershins turned I singing it low
   Watching the wild birds come and go
   No cloud in the deep dark blue to be seen
   Under the thick thatch branches green

   Twilight came, silence came
   The planet of evening’s silver flame
   By darkning paths I wandered through
   Thickets trembling with drops of dew

   But the music is lost and the words are gone
   Of the song I sang as I sat along
   Ages and ages have fallen on me
   On the wood and the pool and the elder tree
5. Ave Verum
   close

   Ave verum corpus natum
   De maria virgine

   Attende Domini et Miserere
   Quia peccavimus tibi

   A silent mystery
   The break of day
   A moment shines across eternity

   A silent harmony
   The sounds of hope
   A moment echoes through eternity
6. So not stand
   close

   Do not stand at my grave and weep.
   I am not there, I do not sleep.
   I am a thousand winds that blow,
   I am the diamond glints in snow,
   I am the sunlight and ripened grain.
   I am the gentle Autumn rain.

   When you awake in the morning hush,
   I am the swift uplifting rush
   Of quiet birds in circling flight.
   I am the soft stars that shine at night.
   Do not stand at my grave and weep.
   I am not there, I do not sleep.
7. When a knight
   close

   When a knight won his spurs in the stories of old
   he was gentle and brave he was gallant and bold
   with a shield on his arm and a lance in his hand
   for God and for valour he rode through the land

   No charger have I, and no sword by my side
   yet still to adventure and battle I ride
   though back into storyland giants have fled
   and the knights are no more and the dragons are dead

   Let faith be my shield and let joy be my steed
   gainst the dragons of anger the ogres of greed
   and let me set free with the sword of my youth
   from the castle of darkness the power of the truth
8. A new heaven
   close

   And I saw a new heaven
   For the first earth, and the first earth
   Are passed away

   Illumina, perpetua

   And there shall be no more death
   No crying
   For these are passed away
9. I vow to thee my country
   close

   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.
10. Lament
    close

    Jerusalem convertere ad Dominum Deum tuum

    Defecerunt prae lacrimis oculi mei
    conturbata sunt visera mea
    Lamentione

    Magna est enim velut mars contritio tua
    quiis mendebitur tui

    Effesum est in terra ie cur meum
    super contritione filiae populi mei
    cum deficeret parvulus et lactens in plateis oppidi
11. Twilight
    close

    Twilight is stealing over hill and sea
    Vesper bells pealing call us to thee
    Lowly confessing trespass and shame
    Bravely expressing faith in thy name

    Low at thy mercy seat
    Father thy children meet
    Craving thy guidance sweet
    Call to thee

    Call us to thee o’er hill and sea
    Call us to thee

    Praising with one accord
    Hearing thy holy word
    Here let our service Lord
    Call to thee
12. Be still my soul
    close

    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.
13. Adoramus
    close

    Adoramus te rex Gloria
    Cum gaudia infinita

    Can you lift me away from the dark of this day
    Give me courage and help me be free evermore

    Can you guide me once more, give me strength to be sure
    Send me wisdom and help me be free evermore
