In the sorrows of the Head
For the love of God is broader
Than the measure of our mind
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
If our love were but more faithful,
We should take him at his word;
And our lives would be thanksgiving
For the goodness of the Lord
For the goodness of the Lord

COMMUNION: REMAIN IN ME
Refrain
Remain in me, I am the vine.
Remain in me; you shall have life.
You are the branches: bear fruit for all to see.
I am the vine, remain in me.
No branch can live without the tree,
nor grow or serve apart from me.
This I have told you that you may see
my love in you, your joy complete.
No longer slaves, I call you friends.
I shall be with you to the end.
Keep my commandments; I dwell in you.
So, now bear witness to the truth.
As I have done so you should do,
so as to love as I love you.
For in your witness, my love is shown;
in simple ways, my heart made known.
As I died, so too shall you die.
As I rose, so too shall you rise.
Do not be troubled: your eyes have seen.
You trust in God, have trust in me.
I am the way, the truth, the life.
I am your living sacrice.
I offer freely my life for you.
Go now and do as I would do

COMMUNION: THE KING OF
LOVE MY SHEPHERD IS
The king of love my shepherd is,
whose goodness fails me never;
I nothing lack if I am his
and he is mine for ever.
Where streams of living water ow
a ransomed soul, he leads me;
and where the fertile pastures grow,
with food from heaven feeds me.
Perverse and foolish I have strayed,
but in his love he sought me;
and on his shoulder gently laid,
and home, rejoicing, brought me.
In death’s dark vale I fear no ill
with you, dear Lord, beside me;
your rod and staff my comfort still,
your cross before to guide me.
You spread a banquet in my sight
of grace beyond all knowing;
and, oh, the wonder and delight
from your pure chalice owing!
And so through all the length of days
your goodness fails me never:
Good Shepherd, may I sing your praise
within your house for ever!
