MASS IS AT 9.30 am, broadcast on Radio Maria England.

Opening Hymn

1 With golden splendour and with roseate hues of morn,
O gracious Saviour, Light of light, this day adorn,
Which brings to ransomed sinners hopes of that far home
Where saints and angels sing the praise of martyrdom.

2 Peter Keybearer, Paul the Teacher of mankind,
Lights of the world and judges sent to loose and bind,
Alike triumphant or by cross and sword-stroke found,
In life’s high senate stand with victor’s laurel crowned.

3 Good Shepherd, Peter, unto whom the charge was given
To close or open ways of pilgrimage to heaven,
In sin’s hard bondage held may we have grace to know
The full remission thou wast granted to bestow.

4 O noble Teacher, Paul, we trust to learn to thee
Both earthly converse and the flight of ecstasy;
Till from the fading truths that now we know in part
We pass to fullness of delight for mind and heart.

5 *Twin olive branches, pouring oil of gladness forth,
Your prayers shall aid us, that for all our little worth,
Believing, hoping,loving, we for whom ye plead,
This body dying, may attain to life indeed.

6 Now to the glorious Trinity be duly paid
Worship and honour, praise and service unafraid,
Who in unchanging Unity, one Lord sublime,
Hath ever lived as now and to unending time. Amen.

Offertory Hymn

1 Just as I am, without one plea,
but that thy blood was shed for me,
and that thou bidd’st me come to thee,
O Lamb of God, I come.

2 Just as I am, though tossed about
with many a conflict, many a doubt,
fightings and fears without,
O Lamb of God, I come.

3 Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind,
sight, riches, healing of the mind,
yea all I need, in thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come.

4 Just as I am, thou wilt receive,
wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
because thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come.

1 Let us, with a gladsome mind,
praise the LORD, for He is kind:

ever faithful, ever sure.

2 Let us blaze His Name abroad,
for of gods He is the God:
for His mercies ay endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.

3 He with all-commanding might
filled the new-made world with light:
for His mercies ay endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.

4 He the golden-tressèd sun

caused all day his course to run:
for His mercies ay endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.

5 He hath with a pious eye
looks upon our misery:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.

6 And the hornèd moon by night,

Mid her spangled sisters bright:
for His mercies ay endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.

7 Let us, with a gladsome mind,
praise the LORD, for He is kind:
for His mercies ay endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
