St Arethas Opening Hymn

Remember, O Lord, your holy witnesses of old

Your holy martyrs, St Arethas and his companions

For them, You are Life whom they cannot abjure

And to die for You is but to find life eternal

The martyrs of Najran embrace their fate

That all may believe, You are the Christ, Son of God

May people of every age and of every nation

Praise and glorify You, O Crucified and Risen Savior

Remember, O Lord, your holy witnesses of old

Your holt martyrs, St Arethas and his companions

For them, You are Life whom they cannot abjure

And to die for You is but to find life eternal

And to die for You is but to find life eternal

OFFERTORIUM

Take and Receive

Take and receive, O Lord, my liberty

Take all my will, my mind, my memory

All things I hold, and all I own are Thine

Thine was the gift, to Thee I all resign

Do Thou direct, and govern all and sway

Do what Thou wilt, command and I obey

Only Thy grace, Thy love on me bestow

These make me rich, all else will I forego

Anima Christi

Soul of Christ, sanctify me

Body of Christ, save me

Water from the side of Christ, wash me

Passion of Christ, give me strength

*Hear me Jesus, hide me in Thy wounds

That I may never leave Thy side

From all the evil that surrounds me, defend me

And when the call of death arrives,

bid me come to Thee

That I may praise Thee with Thy saints forever*

COMMUNIO

Panis Angelicus

Panis Angelicus fit panis hominum

Dat panis coelicus figuris terminum

Ores mirabilis! Manducat Dominum

Pauper pauper servus et humilis

Pauper pauper servus et humilis

In Him Alone

*In Him alone is our hope, in Him alone is our strength

In Him alone are we justified, in Him alone are we saved

What have we to offer

that does not fade or wither?

Can the world ever satisfy

the emptiness in our hearts, in vain we deny?*

When will you cease running

in search of hollow meaning?

Let His love feed the hunger in your soul

till it overflows with joy, you yearn to know*

He Loved Me

He chose me before the world was known

He chose me to be His very own

He made me, then let me choose my way

I chose to move away

He loved me when hope had taken wing

He loved me when I lost everything

He bought me; redemption’s work was done

Through Jesus Christ, His Son

Who shall separate me from the love of God?

Shall dreams of tomorrow,

pain or sorrow?

Can the need of food or earthly possessions;

The threat of war or man’s oppression?

In all these things, victory is our reward

Victory is our reward, through Jesus Christ, our Lord

*Of this, I am sure

That neither death, nor life

Nor angels, nor principalities

Nor powers, nor things present

Nor things to come

Not height, nor depth

Nor any creature

Shall separate me

From the love of God*

Through Jesus Christ, Our Lord

RITUS CONCLUSIO

Hymn to Saint Arethas

Through the sufferings which you Holy martyrs,

Arethas and his companions,

endured for Your sake, O Lord

We beseech you, O lover of mankind,

heal all of our infirmities

*Today, the radiant feast of the passion bearers

Arethas and his companions,

come to us as a herald of joy

As we celebrate it, we glorify the Lord on high*

We glorify the Lord on high

St Arethas pray for us
