O Mary, you embody all God taught to our race, For you are first and foremost in fullness of his grace; We praise this wondrous honor that you gave birth to Him Who from you took his manhood and saved us from our sin.

HYMN: We turn to you, O God of every nation, Giver of life and origin of good; Your love is at the heart of all creation, Your hurt is people's broken brotherhood.

We turn to you, that we may be forgiven For crucifying Christ on earth again. We know that we have never wholly striven, Forgetting self, to love the other man.

HYMN: Loving shepherd of thy sheep, Keep thy lamb in safety keep; Nothing can thy power withstand, none can pluck me from thy hand.

I would bless thee every day, Gladly all thy will obey, Like thy blessed ones above, Happy in thy precious love.

Loving shepherd ever near, Teach thy lamb thy voice to hear Suffer not my steps to stray from the straight and narrow way.

Where thou leadest, I would go, Walking in thy steps below, Till before my father’s throne. I shall know as I am known.

HYMN: I sing the mighty power of God, that made the mountains rise, That spread the flowing seas abroad, and built the lofty skies. I sing the wisdom that ordained the sun to rule the day; The moon shines full at God’s command, and all the stars obey.

I sing the goodness of the Lord, who filled the earth with food, Who formed the creatures through the Word, and then pronounced them good. Lord, how Thy wonders are displayed, where’er I turn my eye, If I survey the ground I tread, or gaze upon the sky.

HYMN: Sing with all the sons of glory, Sing the resurrection song! Death and sorrow, earth’s dark story, To the former days belong. All around the clouds are breaking, Soon the storms of time shall cease In God’s likeness, man awaking, Knows the everlasting peace

O what glory far exceeding All that eye has yet perceived! Holiest hearts for ages pleading, Never that full joy conceived. God has promised, Christ prepares it, There on high our welcome waits Every humble spirit shares it, Christ has passed the eternal gates

HYMN: Christ, in whose passion once was sown All virtue of all saints to be, From the white field of these thy own We praise the seed and sower, thee.

Thine was the first and holiest grain To die and quicken and increase; And then came these, and died again, That spring and harvest should not cease.

From thee the martyrs, we from those, Each in thy grace's measure, spring; Their strength upon our weakness flows And guides us to the goal we sing.
