Oh Beloved (1/5)

Oh Beloved, Oh Beloved!Nailed unto the Cross for me.

Oh, what sin has Thou committed?Thou who calleth all to be.

Oh Beloved, wish that I could,Spend the rest of life with Thee,

Worshipping Thine Holy Passion,Crucifying the flesh for Thee.

INDEX

Oh Beloved (2/5)

Daughter of Zion behold me,Stricken and smitten for thee.

Friend and kin, I have forsaken,There is none to comfort me.

All alone I’ll tread the winepress,All alone I’ll drink the cup,

Shedding my Blood for thee to ransom,And my Flesh for thee to sup.

INDEX

Oh Beloved (3/5)

I was bound, and I was smitten,And they did spit in my face.

I was stripped, and I was scoured,I was condemned in your place.

Your sins became my crown of thorns,O that you would understand,

Every time you sin a new,It’s one more nail in My hand.

INDEX

Oh Beloved (4/5)

Like a lamb brought to the slaughter,Like a dumb sheep to be sheered.

King, Creator, Lord and Master,By His creatures, mocked and jeered.

Despised, rejected, with grief acquainted,And of men was not esteemed.

Bruised, and wounded, sore afflicted,Yet with His stripes we were healed.

INDEX

Oh Beloved (5/5)

Lord create in us a fountain,That with tears will ever flow.

And a heart contrite and broken,And the Spirit within renew.

O that we could shed the tears,Over Thy feet pierced and bruised.O that we could always remember,

For our sins Thou wert abused.

INDEX

The Burning Bush (1/14)

Refrain:The Fiery Bush, that Moses,

Had seen in the desert,Burned with fire,

And the bush was not consumed.

Likewise, the mother of Light,Carried the Divine Ember.Nine months in her womb,With a perpetual virginity

INDEX


I open my lips, uttering,And speak of hidden mysteries,

Honouring Saint Mary the mother of Light,Blessed ye adornment of humanity.

O world’s best now we’ve become free,Through your Son from our slavery,He saved us from Satan’s captivity,

Blessed ye adornment of humanity.

INDEX


The sayings and prophesies about you,Have been fulfilled and all came true,

Regarding the coming Emmanuel,Blessed ye adornment of humanity.

Gabriel’s call was the annunciation,Of the Eternal Word’s incarnation,A chaste virgin carried her Master,

With a perpetual virginity.

His Holy Spirit filled your womb,He took from you His humanity,

A complete human in your arms was born,Blessed ye adornment of humanity.

Adam and all his seed were saved,And from the serpent’s venom were absolved,

And their elevated status restored,Blessed ye adornment of humanity.

INDEX


David your father testified, And about you he prophesied,

The God of gods became your Son,Blessed ye adornment of humanity.

You became Mother to your Creator,Through His Holy Spirit, the Saviour,

He made your womb His own to dwell in,With a perpetual virginity.

The LORD of hosts chose your purity,And adorned you with His Divinity,

He took from you the humanity,Blessed ye adornment of humanity.

You’re the plant which through no man’s deeds,Blossomed with no water or seeds,

In an unblemished pure field,Blessed ye adornment of humanity.

INDEX


Our righteous forefathers said then,You’re a second earthly heaven

The dwelling wherein the great LORD did lie,Blessed ye adornment of humanity.

Ezekiel spoke and said that she,Was a sealed gate in his testimony,

Through which her LORD entered and came,With a perpetual virginity.

Sophonious was a man of vision,Who said about the Divine provision,

Like dew without clouds it will descend,Blessed ye adornment of humanity.

Daniel spoke of the Throne in awe,The Heavenly Orders around it he saw,

And on it sat the Holy King,Blessed ye adornment of humanity.

INDEX


He bowed the heavens and descended,And with humanity was united,

While staying in the bosom of the Father,Blessed ye adornment of humanity.

We read about miracles when we search,The books of the Christian Church,A chaste virgin carried her Master,

With a perpetual virginity.

Amazing Grace (1/3)

Amazing Grace how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost but now am foundWas blind but now I see.

It was grace that taught my heart to fearAnd grace my fear relieved

How precious did that grace appearThe hour I first believed.

INDEX

Amazing Grace (2/3)

Through many dangers, toils, and snares I have already come

It is grace that brought me safe thus far And grace will lead me home

He will be my shield and portion As long as life endures

INDEX

Amazing Grace (3/3)

Yes when this heart and flesh shall fall And mortal life shall cease

I shall possess within the veil A life of joy and peace

When we've been there a thousand years Bright shining as the sun

We've no less days to sing God's praise Then we first begun

INDEX

She Came with the Spices (1/6)

She came with the spicesTo thy tomb O Lord,

Knowing not that ThouAbove the earth had soared.

She came void of all hope;She came expecting death;

Forgetting the Life-GiverWho is the living breath.

INDEX


In trials and tribulations,Do we not do the same:Looking at our errors,

Despairing in our blame?How often do we wallow,

Abandoning all hope –As though on our own –

With burden we could cope.

INDEX


If Peter lost all hope whenOur Lord exposed his sin,

Luke would not recordThe three thousand he would win.

If Paul considered nothingBut his murderous past,

Would his inspired lettersTo this generation last?

INDEX


Moses’ life was evil,Every sin he did commit,

But from this desert bandit,A shining lamp was lit.If Mary, Egypt’s harlot,

Had not tried to win his grace,Would she now be in heaven –Would she have won the race?

INDEX


Our Lord set an example,Compelled, we do the same:Fight, strive, persevere and

On us will be no blame.If our loving Saviour

Had not endured all pain,Would Redemption and Salvation

Ever be our gain?

INDEX


I come now with hopeTo Thy Tomb O Lord,

Knowing that in Truth,Above the earth Thou soared,

I come now with joy,I come expecting life;

Knowing that through TheeI can endure all strife.

Knowing that through TheeI can endure all strife.
