Bless to me O Lord


Bless to me O Lord
The earth beneath my feet.
Bless to me O Lord
The sun that lights my way.

Bless to me O Lord
the labour of my hands.
Bless to me O Lord
The winding path of life.

Bless to me O Lord 
My use of time and place.
Bless to me O  Lord
Your gifts that flow from grace.

Bless to me O Lord
The saints I now embrace.
Bless to me O Lord 
the strangers I may face.

Bless to me O Lord
The youngest and the least.
Bless to me O Lord
all those who share this feast.

Bless to me O Lord
and make your home in me.
Bless to me O Lord
the gift of unity.


Tune suggestion to follow (5.6.5.6) - Still in Fr Colin's head!

... go out singing

Go in the peace of Christ

Go in the peace of Christ
to love and serve the Lord
Go in the strength Of Christ
Our Lord-fed by his Holy Word.
Let all the saints proclaim
the power of his name.
Go with the love of Christ
and with the saints
in glory reign.

Go in the peace of Christ
to daily serve the Lord,
fed by the holy Bread of Life,
sent out in joy to serve.
Take us and use us Lord
our lives your truth proclaim.
Let all that lives and breathes show forth
The wonder of your name.
