PASTORALE
Manuel V. Francisco, SJ

1. I am your reed, sweet Shepherd, glad to be, now if will breath out your joy in Me. And make bright songs or fill me with the soft moan of Your love when your delight has failed to call or move Your flock from wrong.

2. Make children’s songs or any song to fill Your reed with breath of life but at Your will. Lay down the flute and take repose while music infinite is silence in your heart and laid on it your reed is mute.

3. Ooh … ooh … ooh … I am your reed, sweet Shepherd glad to be. Lay down the flute nd take repose while music infinite is silence in your heart and laid on it … Your reed is mute.

ANG PANGINOON ANG AKING PASTOL
Batay sa Salmo 23
Titik: Danilo B. Isidro, SJ Musika: Felipe Fruto L. Ramirez, SJ

Koro: Ang Panginoon ang aking pastol, pinagiginhawa akong lubos.

1. Handog N’yang himlaya’y sariwang pastulan, ang pahingahan ko’y payapang batisan. Hatid kaluluwa ay kaginhawaan; sa tumpak na landas, Siya ang patnubay.

2. Madilim na lambak man ang tatahakin ko, wala akong sindak, Siya’y kasama ko. Ang hawak N’yang tungkod ang siyang gabay ko, tangan N’yang pamalo, sigla’t tanggulan ko.

3. Inihahandog Niya sa akin ‘sang dulang. Maging sa harap man ng aking mga kaaway; kasiyahan Niyang ulo ko’y langisan, saro ko’y punuin hanggang sa umapaw.

4. Kagandahang loob, pawang kabutihan. Ang tanging kasunod ng buhay kong taglay. Doon sa tahanan ng Poong Maykapal, nais kong manahan magpakailanman.

2. Dilim at panganib S’ya ang papawi, bisig Niya’t kapit, tatag ng dibdib. Ang hain N’ya nga ang sagana ng buhay. Tahanan ko’y Kanyang pag-ibig.

3. Dalangin ko lamang, O Panginoon, ay pagkabagabag ng kalooban. Kung piliin ko mang maligaw ang pag-ibig, tawagin Mo at akaying pauwi.

BE NOT AFRAID
Based on Isaiah 43: 2-3 & Luke 6: 20 ff
Robert J. Dufford, SJ

1. You shall cross the barren desert, but you shall not die of thirst. You shall wander far in safety though you do not know the way. You shall speak your words in foreign lands and all will understand. You shall see the face of God and live.

Refrain: Be not afraid. I go before you always. Come follow Me, and I will give you rest.

2. If you pass through raging waters in the sea, you shall not drown. If you walk amid the burning flames, you shall not be harmed. If you stand before the pow’r of hell and death is at Your side, know that I am with you through it all.

3. Blessed are you poor, for the kingdom shall be theirs. Blest are you that weep and mourn, for one day you shall laugh. And if wicked men insult and hate you all because of Me, blessed, blessed are you!

ON EAGLE’S WINGS
Adapted and based on Psalm 91

Coda: And hold you, hold you in the palm of His hand.

2. The snare of the fowler will never capture you, and famine will bring you no fear: under His wings your refuge, His faithfulness your shield.

3. You need not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day; though thousands fall about you, near you it shall not come.

4. For to His angels He’s given a command to guard you in all of your ways. Upon their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.

BLEST BE THE LORD
Based on Psalm 91
Daniel L. Schutte

Refrain: Blest be the Lord, blest be the Lord, the God of mercy, the God Who saves. I shall not fear the dark of night, nor the arrow that flies by day.

1. He will release me from the nets of all my foes. He will protect me from their wicked hands. Beneath the shadows of His wings I will rejoice to find a dwelling place secure.

2. I need not shrink before the terrors of the night, nor stand alone before the light of day. No harm shall come to me, no arrow strike me down, no evil settle in my soul.

3. Although a thousand strong have fallen at my side, I’ll not be shaken with the Lord at hand. His faithful love is all the armor that I need to wage the battle with my foe.

2. Kayo’y di na alipin kundi kaibigan Ko. Lahat ng mula sa Ama’y nalahad Ko na sa inyo. Kayo’y hinirang Ko di Ako ang hinirang n’yo. Loob Kong humayo kayo at magbunga ng ibayo. Ito nga ang s’yang utos Ko na bilin Ko sa inyo: Magmahalan kayo! Magmahalan kayo!

PAGKAKAIBIGAN
Batay sa Juan 15
Titik & Musika: Carlos G. Cenzon, SJ

1. Ang sinuman sa Aki’y nananahan, mananahan din Ako sa kanya. At kung siya’y mamumunga ng sagana, s’ya sa Ama’y nagbigay ng karangalan.

Koro: Mula ngayon, kayo’y Aking kaibigan, hinango sa dilim at kababaan. Ang kaibiga’y mag-aalay ng sarili n’yang buhay. Walang hihigit sa yaring pag-aalay.

2. Kung paanong mahal Ako ng Aking Ama, sa inyo’y Aking ipinadarama. Sa pag-ibig Ko kayo sana ay manahan, at bilin Ko na kayo ay magmahalan.

ANG MABUTING PASTOL
Titik: Batay sa Juan 10: 11-18
Musika: Eduardo P. Hontiveros, SJ

Ang mamatay sa sarili ay mabubuhay sa D’yos; s’ya’y larawan ni Kristo ang ating mabuting Pastol. At Kanyang iniaalay ang sarili N’yang buhay sa lugod at kabutihan ng minamahal N’yang kapwa. Sa paglapit ng panganib, tumatakas ang upahan; Ngunit ang tunay na pastol nananatili hanggang kamatayan. At kaya’t S’ya’y mahal din ng butihing D’yos na Ama, sapagkat handa S’yang mamatay nang ang kawan ay maligtas.

SALMO 23
Musika: Arnel dC. Aquino, SJ

Koro: Ang Panginoon ang aking Pastol, wala ‘kong dapat ikapangambang anuman.

1. Luntiang pastulan doon hihimlay; malinaw na batis, pamatid-uhaw. Sa tamang landas ako’y babanaagan. Kay tapat N’ya sa akin.

2. Dilim at panganib S’ya ang papawi, bisig Niya’t kapit, tatag ng dibdib. Ang hain N’ya nga ang sagana ng buhay. Tahanan ko’y Kanyang pag-ibig.

3. Dalangin ko lamang, O Panginoon, ay pagkabagabag ng kalooban. Kung piliin ko mang maligaw ang pag-ibig, tawagin Mo at akaying pauwi.

2. With joyful lips we sing to you our praise and gratitude, that You should count us worthy, Lord, to share this heav’nly food.

3. Is not the cup we bless and share the blood of Christ outpoured? Do not one cup, one loaf declare our oness in the Lord?

4. The myst’ry of Your presence Lord, no mortal tongue can tell: Whom all the world cannot contain comes in our hearts to dwell.

Lyrics: Based on Luke 24: 13-35

Refrain: Are not our hearts burning within us? Are not our lives shared as one bread? Here in our hands, here in this place: Jesus, our Hope, Life from the dead.

1. In the breaking of the bread, may we know the Lord. We were lost, and now are found, home again with God!

2. You are food for all our hunger, You are all we need. You are our promise and our hope, life for the world.

3. As grain, once scattered on the hill, was gathered all as one, may we be one in this bread: Behold the Lamb of God!

4. As this bread is broken, as this cup is shared, we give our lives broken and outpoured. We will serve the Lord!

NOW WE REMAIN
Lyrics: Based on 1 Corinthians, 1 John, 2 Timothy
Music: David Haas

Refrain: We hold the death of the Lord deep in our hearts. Living, now we remain with Jesus the Christ.

1. Once we were people afraid, lost in the night. Then by Your cross we were saved; dead became living, life from Your giving.

2. Something which we have known, something we’ve touched, what we have seen with our eyes: this we have heard; life-giving Word.

3. He chose to give of Himself, became our bread. Broken, that we might live. Love beyond love, pain for our pain.

4. We are the presence of God; this is our call. Now to become bread and wine: Food for the hungry, life for the weary. For to live with the Lord, we must die with the Lord.

EYE HAS NOT SEEN
Music & Lyrics: Marty Haugen

1. When pain and sorrow weigh us down, be near to us, O Lord, forgive the weakness of our faith and bear us up within Your peaceful word.

2. Our lives are but a single breath, we flower and we fade, yet all our days are in Your hands, so we return in love what love has made.

3. To those who see with eyes of faith, the Lord is ever near, reflected in the faces of all the poor and lowly of the world.

4. We sing the myst’ry of the past, in halls where saints have trod, yet ever new the music rings, to Jesus, Living Song of God.

Now We Remain
Music & Lyrics: David Haas
based on 1 Corinthians, 1 John & 2 Timothy

Without Seeing You

Refrain: Without seeing You, we love You; without touching You, we embrace; without knowing You, we follow; without seeing You, we believe.

1. We return to You deep within, leave the past to the dust; turn to You with tears and fasting; You are ready to forgive.

2. The sparrow will find a home, near to You, O God; how happy, we who dwell with You, forever in Your house.

3. For ever we sing to You of Your goodness, O God; proclaiming to all the world of Your faithfulness and love.

4. For You are our shepherd, there is nothing that we need; in green pastures we will find our rest, near the waters of peace.

Recessional Hymn:

We Walk by Faith
Lyrics: Henry Alford
Music: Marty Haugen

1. We walk by faith, and not by sight: no gracious words we hear of Him who spoke as none as e’er spoke, but we believe Him near.

2. We may not touch His hands and side, nor follow were He trod; yet in His promise we rejoice, and cry ‘My Lord and God!’

3. Help then, O Lord, our unbelief, and may our faith abound; to call on You when You are near, and seek where You are ound.

4. That when our life and faith is done in reals of clearer light we may behold You as You are in full and endless sight.
