1. As we gather on this morn,
   Celebrating freedom’s dawn
   Our young hearts to God we raise,
   In thanksgiving and in praise.
2. God of Nations hear our prayer
   Bless this land so great, so fair,
   May all strife within it cease,
   Give it harmony and peace,
   May its people’s e’er be true,
   To their country and to you.
3. As we face the future bright,
   Trustfully we pray for light,
   For our leaders that they may
   Guide us wisely on our way.
4. May India’s daughters ever be
   Conscious of their dignity
   May they e’er be good and great
   In the home and in the state.

1. It takes courage to answer a call,
   It takes courage to give your all,
   It takes courage to risk your name
   It takes courage to be true.
2. It takes courage to dare
   What no other will share,
   to be standing alone,
   one whom no one will own,
   to be ready to stake
   for another man’s sake.
   It takes courage to be true
3. It takes courage to say
   what you know will not pay,
   to give each one his share
   though there’ll be less to spare,
   to be seeking no more
   than the neighbour next door,
   It takes courage to be true.

No one can live as an island
Journey through life alone
Since we were most loved by a mother
Jesus gave us His own.

Be with us Mary along the way
Guide every step we take
Lead us to Jesus your loving Son
Come with us Mary come

When Jesus met with rejection
Mary stood by the cross
How can a mother desert her son
She’ll also stand by us.

Joy and happiness it brings

The sweetest song we ever sung
All across the mountains rung
Peace on earth good will to men
The sweetest song of love (2)

Alleluia let us sing
All the colours that it brings
To you and me and all. (2)

1. The Lord is my true Shepherd, I have everything I need,

   Listen to the Spirit calling you.
   Listen to his inspiration.
   Listen to his invitation.
   Listen to the Spirit calling you.
2. He’s in the sound of the thunder, in the whisper of the breeze
   He’s in the might of the whirlwind in the roaring of the seas.
3. He’s in the laughter of children, in the patter of the rain.
   Hear him in cries of the suffering in their moaning and their pain.

Love it was that made us
and it was love that saved us
Love was God’s plan when He made man
God’s divine nature is love.

Born of God’s love we must love Him
That’s why He made us to love Him
But only when we love all men
Can we partake of God’s love,
But only when we love all men
Can we partake of God’s love.

Love is a wonderful thing,
Joy in our heart it will bring
Where there’s true love there is God
And where there is God there is love.

1. Every tiny star that twinkles in the night sky.

2. And the message is:

   Tells the fascinating news to those who dare to hope.

   Whom shall I send?
3. I, the Lord of snow and rainv I have borne my people’s pain
   I have wept for love of them they turn away,
   I will break their hearts of stone
   Give them hearts for love alone

   Whom shall I send?
4. I, the Lord of wind and flame
   I will tend the poor and lame

   Where there is injury your pardon, Lord.
   And where there’s doubt true faith in you.
2. Oh Master, grant that I may never seek
   So much to be consoled as to console
   To be understood as to understand
   To be loved as to love with all my soul.

   Where there’s despair in life let me bring hope,
   And where there’s darkness only light
   And where there’s sorrow ever joy. (Repeat Ch)
4. Make me a channel of your peace
   It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
   In giving to all men that we receive
   And in dying that we’re born to eternal life. (Repeat Ch)

There shall be showers of blessings this is the promise of love.
There shall be seasons refreshing
Sent from the Saviour above

Showers of blessing, showers of blessing we need
Mercy drops round us are falling
But for the showers we plead.

There shall be showers of blessing
Send them upon us, O Lord.
Grant to us now a refreshing,
Come and now honour Thy Word.

There shall be showers of blessing
O that today they might fall
Now as to God we’re confessing
Now as on Jesus we call.

May the good Lord bless and keep you
Whether near or far away
May you find that long awaited
Golden day today.

May your troubles all be small ones and
Your fortunes ten times ten
May the good Lord bless and keep you
Till we meet again.

May you walk with sunlight shining
And a blue bird on every tree
May there be a silver lining
Back of every cloud you see

Fill your dreams with sweet tomorrows
Never mind what might have been
May the good Lord bless and keep you
Till we meet again

May the good Lord bless and keep you
Till we meet again

I made up my mind, I’m gonna say a prayer for you
A prayer that will hold you, a prayer that will mould you
A prayer that will keep you safe.

   You are the melody; you are the harmony, praises to your name I will bring
   You are the mighty God; you are the Lord of Lords,
   You are the King of all Kings
   Now, I return to you, the song that you gave to me,
   You are the song that I sing.

1. There is a longing only you can fill
   A raging tempest only you can still,
   My soul is thirsty, Lord to know you as I’m known,
   Drink from the river that flows before your throne.

Take me deeper, deeper in love with you,
Jesus hold me close in your embrace.
Take me deeper, deeper than I’ve ever been before,
I just want to love you more and more, how I long to be deeper in love.

   Here in your presence forever satisfied.

1. Are you tired of chasing pretty rainbows,
   Are you tired of spinning round and round.
   Pack up all the shattered dreams of your life,
   And at the feet of Jesus lay them down.

Give them all, give them all give them all to Jesus,
Shattered dreams, wounded hearts and broken toils,
Give them all, give them all, give them all to Jesus,
And He will turn your sorrows into joy.

2. He never said there’ll always be sunshine,
   He never said there’ll be no rain.
   He only promised us a heart full of singing,
   That’s the very thing that once brought pain.

And here we are, lifting our hands to You
And here we are giving you thanks for all you do.
And as we pray, and worship your holy name,
You are here, dwelling within our praise.

1. For every answered prayer, for always being there
   For love that hears us when we call,
   For arms that lift us when we fall,
   You have always been right beside us,
   Leading us all along the way, we made it through, because of You.
2. For days we cannot see, for all that’s yet to be,
   The trials we may have to face when we’ll be leaning on your grace.
   It will be your strength that save us, your love that makes us strong,
   And through it all, we’ll sing this song.

1. I just want to be where you re,
   Dwelling daily in your presence,
   I don’t want to worship from afar,
   Draw me near to where you are
   O my God you are my strength and my song,
   And when I’m in your presence, you’re always strong.
2. I just want to be where you are,
   In your dwelling place forever,
   Take me to the place where you are,
   I just want to be with you.
   I want to be with you Lord, dwelling in your presence
   Feasting at your table, surrounded by your glory,
   In your presence that’s where I always want to be,
   I just want to be, I just want to be with you.

1. All that I am, all that I have, I lay them down before you O Lord
   All my regrets, all my acclaim, the joy and the pain,
   I’m making them yours.

Lord I offer my life to you, everything I’ve been through,
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you, lifting my praise to you,
As a pleasing sacrifice, Lord I offer you my life.

2. Things is the past, things yet unseen,
   Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true.
   All of my hope, all of my thanks,
   My heart and my hands, I lift it to you.

1. Shepherd of my soul, I give you full control,
   Wherever you may lead I will follow,
   I have made the choice, to listen to your voice,
   Wherever you may lead I will go.

Be it in the quiet pasture or by a gentle stream
The shepherd of my soul is by my side.
Should I face a mighty mountain or a valley dark and deep,
The shepherd of my soul will be my guide.

1. What can I give, what can I bring that would be pleasing to my King
   I’ll give my heart not just a part, I’m lifting up my everything,
   Well it’s all I have to offer, and it’s all I have to give.

Two hands, one heart, one life to offer You,
Two hands, one heart, that’s what I give to you.

2. Use me today, I know you can,
   Lord i surrender to your plan,
   You made this heart, you made these hands,
   Take me and use me as I am
   Well it’s all I have to offer, and it’s all I have to give.

1. You are my strength when I am weak,
   You are the treasure that I seek,
   You are my all in all,
   Seeing you as a precious jewel,
   Lord, to give up I’d be a fool
   You are my all in all.

Jesus, Lamb of God, worthy is your name (2)

2. Taking my sin, my cross, my shame,
   Rising again I bless your name,
   You are my all in all.
   When I fall down, you pick me up,
   When I m dry you fill my cup,
   You are my all in all.

1. Above all powers, above all kings, above all nature and all created things.
   Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
   You were here before the world began,
   Above all kingdoms, above all thrones, above all wonders, the world has ever known
   Above all wealth and treasures of the earth, there’s no way to measure what you’re worth.

Crucified, laid behind a stone, you live to die, rejected and alone
like a rose trampled on the ground, you took the fall and thought of me above all.

1. As we gather in this place today,
   Holy Spirit come and have your way, have your way
   As we lay aside our own desires,
   Sweep across our hearts with holy fire, have your way.

This is your house, your home
We welcome you Lord, we welcome you.
This is your house, your home
We welcome you today.

2. As we offer up our hearts and lives,
   Let them be a living sacrifice,
   Have your way
   Be glorified in everything we do,
   Be glorified in everything we say, have your way.

1. The Saviour is waiting to enter your heart,
   Why don’t you let him come in?
   There’s nothing in this world to keep you apart,
   What is your answer to him?

Time after time, He has waited before and now He is waiting again
To see if you’re willing to open the door,
Oh, how He wants to come in.

2. If you’ll take one step towards the Saviour my friend,
   You’ll find His arms open wide
   Receive Him and all of your darkness will end,
   Within your heart He’ll abide

1. You are my heaven, always forgiven, Lord your word is true
   You put together, my life forever, I will live for you.
   I was in pieces, wrinkled with graces until you came,
   Now I live only simply to worship your name.

waited so long now I see, I was wrong in not loving you
It took me some years and some pain and some tears
But you pulled me through
I waited so long, now I see you belong deep down in my heart,
And I wonder why didn’t I love you from the start.

2. I was confused then lost in the world that was spinning around,
   You stopped the spinning gave me a beginning on solid ground.
   Now there’s a purpose last up to surface since I found you Lord.
   I’m yours forever, take me and never let me leave your world.

1. Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine, O what a foretaste of glory divine.
   Heir of salvation, purchase of God, born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

(This is my story, this is my song, praising my Saviour all the day long) (2)

2. Perfect submission, perfect delight, visions of rapture now burst on my sight,
   Angels descending, bring from above
   Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
3. Perfect submission, all is at rest, I in my Saviour am happy and blest
   Watching and waiting, looking above, filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

1. To East and West of that fair Isle
   Where the first Loreto stands,
   Loreto’s banner now doth fly in many distant lands,
   In sunny Spain on Afric’s strand and
   Under the Southern Cross
   And westward ho, where rainbow hued
   Niagara’s waters toss.

CHORUS
Loreto’s banner gaily floats
In lands both East and West,
Loreto’s name each girl reveres
And holds it ever blest.

2. But first Loreto found a home beneath our Indian skies
   Where now o’er plain and mountain peak
   The well loved banner flies.
   Loreto’s standard bearers we
   In girlhood’s springtime gay
   O may we e’er be loyal and true
   To the school friends of today.
3. And when our school days ended are
   And our varied paths divide
   O may the ideals of our youth
   Still ever be our guide;
   High ideals of purity, of duty and of truth
   Learnt while we bore Loreto’s flag
   In the sunny days of youth.

1. O Lord God, Our Father, we worship and glorify you for your greatness and your goodness. You are the Infinite Being who is responsible for the whole of creation. We bow before you in adoration and reverence. We thank you for creating us, for loving us, cherishing us and for living in us and constantly being with us. Since you have given us all we have and are, we have nothing to offer you except our love. Father, we love you.
2. Almighty God, my loving Father I love You with my whole heart. I offer You all my thoughts, words and actions, and ask you to bless me during this day. Help me so that I may always know, love and serve You, and be eternally happy with You after death.
3. My Lord and God
   Make me an instrument of your peace
   Where there is hatred, let me bring your love;
   Where there is guilt, pardon;
   Where there is dissension, union
   Where there is darkness, faith;
   Where there is despair, hope
   Where there is error, truth;
   Where there is sadness, joy and comfort
   My Lord and my God
   Grant that I may not so much seek
   To be understood, as to understand;
   To be loved, as to love;
   To be consoled as to console;
   Make me experience that in giving, I receive
   That in pardoning, I am Pardoned;
   That in dying, I have life.
4. Lord, teach me to be generous,
   To serve You as You deserve,
   To give and not to count the cost,
   To fight and not to heed the wounds,
   To toil and not to seek for rest,
   To labour and not to ask for no reward
   save that of knowing that I do your will, O Lord.
5. Today, O God, make me
   Courageous enough to face things of which I am afraid;
   Strong enough to overcome temptations and do the right thing;
   Persevering enough to finish every task that is given to me to do;
   Kind enough always to be ready to help others.
   Help me to live in purity, to speak in truth,
   To act in love, all through today.
6. O God, thank you for all the people and the things which make such a difference to my life. Thank you for my parents and for all that they do for me; my home and for all the happiness and the comfort which are always waiting there for me; my friends in whose company I am happy; my school and for everything I learn here; my teachers and domestic staff who help me in every way. Thank you God, for these and all that You have given me. Above all, thank you, Lord, for giving me Yourself.
