• With Joy Let Us Go

  Thanks be to God.
  Gathered around the table of the Lord,
  we have listened to his word,
  we have eaten of the bread that was broken
  at the table as the token of the glory to come.
  With joy let us go into the world now singing:
  thanks be to God.

  I am sending you out like sheep to the pack of wolves.
  You must be as cautious as snakes and as gentle as doves.

  You shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout
  Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

• Now Let Us From This Table Rise

  Now let us from this table rise renewed in body,
  mind, and soul; with Christ we die and live again,
  his selfless love has made us whole.

  With minds alert, upheld by grace, to spread
  the word in speech and deed, we follow in the steps
  of Christ, at one with us in hope and need.

• The Mass Is Ended

  The Mass is ended, all go in peace,
  we must diminish and Chirst increase.
  We take him with us wherever we go,
  that through our actions his life may show.

  We witness his love to everyone
  by our communion with Christ the Son.
  We take the Mass to where one may be,
  so Christ may shine forth for all to see.

  Thanks to the Father who shows the way.
  His life within us throughout each day.
  Let all our living and loving be
  to praise and honour the Trinity.
• Lead Us On, O Lord

  Lead us on, O Lord, lead us on. Lead us where
  we dare not go. Lead us on, O Lord, lead us on;
  be with us as we face new days.

  All of our lives, O Lord, all of our dreams,
  all that we are and hope to be,
  all of our strength is in our unity as one,
  all our danger is in discord.

• With A Song In Our Hearts

  With a song in our hearts, we shall go on our way,
  to bring God’s love to everyone we meet today.

  Love, love, love is his name. {2}
  Great, great, great is his name. {2}
