HYMNS AT THE PRESENTATION OF GIFTS

MUNTING ALAY

(English Version)

1. We bring unto your table with humble hearts, o, Lord / The bread and wine, the fruits
of the land and of the vine / Transformed beneath the hands of Your chosen priest,
behold / We shall receive with open hearts, eternal life bestowed.

2. Gathered now, Your people bringing gifts to Thee / Let us give you worship for Your
Sacred Feast / Continuously, we sing You our praise on bended knees / We give You
thanks, revere You for Your generosity.

(Filipino Version)

1. Paghahanda ng alay ay narito, Poon / Ang alak at tinapay dala sa altar Mo / Anyo’y
magiging tunay, Dugo Mo’t Katawan / Aming tatanggapin ngayon magbibigay-buhay.

2. Paghahanda ng alay ngayon ay sisim’lan / Ang alak at tinapay ay bibendisyunan /

Anyo’y magiging tunay, Dugo Mo’t Katawan / Ito’y aming tatanggapin sa
pakikinabang.

We Are All God’s Children Lyrics

1. Do you see these children on the streets? / Have you walked the pavements where
they sleep? / Do you feel their hand when you give them alms? / Did you ever give
them bread to eat? / Have you seen their homes washed by the floods? / While a
mother tightly holds her child / Do you hear the wind of the raging storm? / Can you
tell them where it’s coming from?

REFRAIN: Let us show our love and mercy / With true kindness and humility / For God loves
the weak and the needy / Just like you and me
CHORUS: We are all God’s children / We are all the same / He is calling us by name to help
the poor and lame / And learn what life is really for / It’s to know and love and
serve the Lord.

2. Stand together and let’s do our part / Hear their voices mend their broken / hearts /
Choose to be brave, fight for their rights / Give them back their honor and their pride

CODA: Please do not be blind and just leave them behind / To struggle in darkness
Or give them empty promises.

CHORUS: We are all God’s children / We are all the same / He is calling us by name to help
the poor and lame / And learn what life is really for / It’s to know and love and serve
the Lord / It’s to know and love and serve the Lord / It’s to know and love and serve
the Lord.
