Parish Mission
Night 1
Opening Song -
City of God
Awake from your slumber
Arise from your sleep
A new day is dawning
For all those who weep
The people in darkness
Have seen a great light
The lord of our longing
Has conquered the night
Let us build the city of God
May our tears
Be turned into dancing
For the lord
Our light and our love
Has turned the night into day
We are sons of the morning,
We are daughters of day.
The one who has loved us
Has brightened our way.
The lord of all kindness
Has called us to be
A light for his people
To set their hearts free.
Closing Song -
With One Voice
1. Take the Word
and go out to ev'ry land:
shine the light of Christ
for all to see!
May the lives of those we touch
sing praise to God above.
Let us sing, we'll sing:
[Refrain]
With one voice
we'll pass the Word along;
with one voice,
bring justice to the world.
And with all the angels
we'll spread the goodness of God.
With all power and glory
the Word of God shall reign.
2. Take the Word to our
neighborhoods and streets:
shine the light of Christ
for all to see!
May we all set out to live
in peace and harmony.
They will see and sing:
