Under the banner of love and truth
We salute our Flag,
Mary our Mother we'll light a flame
As torches we'll hear your name.
Through our endeavours we'll strive to be
The best, among the rest,
Guide us through our life we lead
Under the name of Mater Dei.
Mother of God we'll set for us
Victory as our aim
Mother of God in sport we'll play
In the spirit of the game.
Proudly as women we shall go forth
Sowing the seeds of love through truth
Nurturing the fields of purity,
Reaping the harvest of joy and peace.

Keep me in the hollow of Your Hand.
Lead me through this wild and stormy land
You who guide my feet though the pathway may be steep
Keep me in the hollow of Your Hand.
Keep me, keep me day by day
Guide me, guide me all the way
Never, never let me stray
Keep me in the hollow of Your Hand.
Keep me in the center of your will
All Your plans for me may fulfil,
As I go my way help me Lord from day to day
Keep me in the center of Your Will.
Keep me in the circle of Your Love.
Looking down to comfort from above
Help me see Your face as I pray for daily grace
Keep me in the circle of Your Love.

One more step along the world I go (2)
From the old things to the new
Keep me travelling along with you.
And it's from the old, I travel to the new
Keep me travelling along with you.
Round the corners of the world I turn,
More and more about the world I learn
All the new things that I see,
You'll be looking at along with me.
Give me courage when the world is rough,
Keep me loving though the world is tough,
Leap and sing in all I do,
Keep me travelling along with You.
As l travel through the bad and good
Keep me travelling the way I should
When I see no way to go,
You'll be travelling with me I know.
You are older than the world can be,
You are younger than the life in me,
Ever old yet ever new,
Keep me travelling along with You.

Every bird, every tree helps me know,
Helps me see,
Helps me feel God is love and love's around,
From each river painted blue,
To the early morning-dew,
This is love; God is love, love's around.
Every prayer, every song, makes me feel I belong,
To a world filled with love that's all around
From each day break to each night,
Out of darkness comes the light,
This is love, God is love, love's around.
Every mountain, every stream, every flower,
every dream,
Comes from God, God is love and love's around.
From the ever-changing sky,
To a new born baby's cry,
This is love, God is love, love's around.

If you've a kind word to say, say it now.
If you've something to give, give it now
If you can make someone glad or another less sad,
Do it now, do it now, do it now.
Now before it is too late,
Now's the time for every good deed
Do not wait until tomorrow
For it may be just a little too late.
If there is good news to give, give it now,
If there is friendship to show, show it now,
If there is hope you can raise or some one you can praise,
Do it now, do it now, do it now.
If you've trust to bestow, do it now,
If you've courage to give, give it now,
If there is pain you can ease, or someone
You can please,
Do it now, do it now, do it now.

It only takes a spark to get a fire going, and soon all
Those around can warm up in its glowing,
That's how it is with God's Love, once you've experienced It,
You spread His love to everyone, you want to pass it on.
What a wondrous time is spring when all the trees are budding.
The birds begin to sing, the flowers start their blooming.
That's how it is with God's Love, once you've experienced It,
You want to sing, you feel like spring.
You want to pass It on.
I wish for you my friend this happiness I've found,
You can depend on Him, it matters not where you're bound
l'll shout it from the mountain top, I want my world to know.
The God of Love has come to me I want to pass It on.

It takes courage to answer a call.
It takes courage to give your all.
It takes courage to risk your name.
It takes courage to be true.
It takes courage to dare what no other will share;
To be standing alone, one whom no one will own;
To be ready to stake for another man's sake,
It takes courage to be true.
It takes courage to say, what you know Will not pay,
To give each one his share, though there'll be less to spare,
To be seeking no more than the neighbours next door,
It takes courage to be true.
It takes courage to leave what good fortune can give,
and to go to a land where the poor need a hand;
To be spending one's day in less leisurely ways,
It takes courage to be true.

I just keep trusting my Lord
As I walk along
I just keep trusting my Lord
And He gives me a song.
Though the storm clouds darken the sky
O'er the heavenly trail
I just keep trusting my Lord
He will never fail.
He's a faithful friend, (2)
Such a faithful friend, (2)
I can count on Him
I can count on Him
To the very end (2)
Though the storm clouds.

Make me a channel of Your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me bring your love
Where there is injury, your pardon Lord.
And where there's doubt, true faith in you.
oh, Master, grant that I may never seek
so much to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved, as to love with all my soul.
Make me a channel of Your peace,
Where there's despair in life, let me bring hope.
Where there is darkness only light,
And where there's sadness ever joy.
Make me a channel of Your peace,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
In giving to all men that we receive,
And in dying that we're born to Eternal life.

Walking with the Lord.
We are walking in the morning.
Lift up your hearts,
For you are walking with God,
Singing to the Lord,
We are singing in the sunshine,
Lift up your hearts,
For you are singing to God.
Hand in hand with everyone
We're walking, walking,
Black and white and brown,
Together, walking, walking
Singing new songs now,
Living new lives
Building new bridges,
Walking distant miles,
Well we're walking with the Lord
Rain and storm will not prevent us,
Walking, walking,
Faith and hope and love,
Will send us walking, walking,
Crossing all barriers,
Climbing all stiles
Breaking through fences,
Walking distant miles,
Well we're walking with the Lord

On this day of joy, on this day of hope,
we come to you in love, 0 Lord (2).
With this bread and wine, we come
To this Eucharistic feast.
On this day of joy, on this day of hope,
We come to you in love.
Bread to be your body, Lord
Wine to be your saving blood.

Great indeed are your works 0 Lord!
Now and ever more
The universe night and day, tell of all Your wonders,
You are our life and our light, we shall praise You always.
You are the path which we tread, You will lead us onwards.
From every corner of earth, all the nations gather.
You lead them all by the hand. To the heavenly kingdom,
Then at the end of all times, you will come in glory.

Oh the Word of the Lord, deep within my being,
on the word of my Lord, you have filled my mind.
Before I formed you in the womb
I knew you through and through, I chose you to be mine.
Before you left your mother's side
I called to you, my child, to be my sign.
I know that you are very young
But I will make you strong, I'll fill you with my Word:
And you will travel through the land
Fulfilling my command which you heard.
And everywhere you are to go,
My hand will follow you, you will not be alone.
In all the danger that you fear,
You'll find me very near, yours words my own.
With all my strength you will be filled:
You will destroy and build; for that is my design,
You will create and overthrow,
Reap harvests I will sow: your word is mine.

To follow the Lord and find freedom,
To love as He loved and bring peace,
To spend our lifetime for his Kingdom,
To want it to grow and increase.
To search for the Truth never ceasing,
To look for a star in the night,
To knock at the door never tiring,
To wait eagerly for his light.
To walk hand in hand with each other,
To share with the burdened their pain,
To comfort the people who suffer,
To help those in need, for no gain.
To sense how oppressed are the poorest,
To’ struggle for justice and right,
To stand for the truth and be honest,
To die to one self in the fight.

The Lord is my Shepherd, There is nothing I shall want
Fresh and green are the pastures Where He gives me repose.
Near restful waters He leads me To revive my drooping spirit.
The Lord is my Shepherd, There is nothing I shall want.
Yes, the Lord is my Shepherd. There is nothing I shall want.
He guides me along. What he knows to be right.
It I walk in the darkness No evil would I fear.
I know that He will there. With His crook and with His staff.
The Lord is my shepherd, There is nothing I shall want.
Yes, the Lord is my Shepherd. There is nothing I shall want.
The Lord has prepared Such a banquet for me
Surely goodness and kindness Shall follow after me.
In the Lord's own house shall I dwell All the days of my life.
The Lord is my shepherd, There is nothing I shall want.
Yes, the Lord is my Shepherd. There is nothing I shall want.

In His time, in His time He makes all things beautiful in His time
Lord, please show me everyday As You're teaching me Your way
That You do just what You say in Your time. In Your time, In Your time,
You make all things beautiful in Your time Lord, my life to You I bring
With its winter and its spring May I fathom everything in Your time.
There's a time, there's a time Both for sowing and for reaping there's a time
time for losing, time for gain Time for joy and time for pain
Every purpose under heaven has a time. There are times, there are days,
Weeks and months we cannot understand God's ways If for years we fail to scan
What is His eternal plan We'll remember that He can all the time.

Shepherd of my soul
I give You full control
Wherever You may lead I will follow
I have made a choice to listen for Your voice
Wherever You will lead I will go.
Be it in the quiet pasture
Or by a gentle stream
The Shepherd of my soul is by my side
Should I face the mighty mountain
Or a valley dark and deep
The Shepherd of my soul will be my guide
Yes the Shepherd of my soul will be my guide.

Lord we confess that we have wondered
Far from your purposing plan
And willingly walked in the wrong direction
We disobeyed your command
Father forgive us
Spirit come lead us
Back to the way
Back to the truth
Back to the foot of the cross
Show us the ancient path
Lead us along eternal highways
We want to walk in the ways of Jesus
We want to enter your rest.
Show us the ancient path
Lead us along eternal highways
We want to follow the footsteps of Jesus
We want to enter your rest.
Lord it’s your mercy and good intentions
That constantly calls us to you
Your replenished patience and kind correction
Will come in with love coming through
You are our hope and our salvation
You promised joy
You gave us grace
And courage to carry the cross
Show us the ancient path
Lead us along eternal highways
We want to walk in the ways of Jesus
We want to enter your rest.
Show us the ancient path
Lead us along eternal highways
We want to follow the footsteps of Jesus
We want to enter your rest.
We want to up to set our footprint
For those who will follow behind
Sign post in our lives
That point to Jesus
A path they will easily find
We want to fill up the suffering of Jesus
As we obey
Our lives display
The glorious way of the Cross

The eyes of the Father Run to and fro
He's searching the earth He's looking for those
Who make intercession On behalf of the nation
Those who will Rise up and pray
We'll stand in the gap On behalf of our land
Down on our knees We'll take our stand
And there intercede For our land
We'll pray for The needs of our land.
The powers of darkness Released on our lands
Will never prevail Will never withstand
The deep intercession By a people of passion
Those who will Rise up and pray.

Oh! Mary of the Passion, dear Blessed Helen!
We thank God for your searching, your courage through pain.
We praise God for your vision, your Sisters and friends.
We thank God for your world-wide love! Thanks be to God
Oh! Mary of the Passion, dear Blessed Helen!
Like poor Clare and Saint Francis, you lived with the poor,
In action you were loving, in love was your rest,
Through heart-breaks, faced in faith and joy, You were Good News!
Oh! Mary of the Passion, dear Blessed Helen!
The Eucharist was your main stay, the heart of your world.
You found in adoration your Way and your Truth,
Each wheat grain in its buried Life bursting to fruit.
Oh! Mary of the Passion, dear Blessed Helen!
A Mary went before you with Christ to the world,
With "Yes" to incarnation, to Cross "Here I am!"
You echoed her great love of Christ: Mother us now!
Oh! Mary of the Passion, dear Blessed Helen!
Be with us in our journeys with vision and hope!
God's love is so much greater than we ever loved!"
Still lead us with your vision now, Loving as One!

Abide with me fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens Lord with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless oh abide with me.
Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away.
Change and decay in all around I see,
oh Thou who changest not abide with me.
Come not in terrors as the king of kings
But kind and good with healing in Thy wings
Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea
Come, Friend of sinners, thus abide with me.
I need Thy presence every passing hour,
What but Thy grace can foil the tempters power
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be
Through cloud and sunshine, oh abide with me.
I fear no foe with Thee at hand to bless
lIIs have no weight and tears no bitterness
Where is death's sting, where grave thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.

Happiness is to know the Saviour
Living a life within his favour
Having a change in my behaviour.
Happiness is the Lord.
Happiness is a new creation
Jesus and me in close relation
Having a part in his salvation
Happiness is the Lord.
Real joy is mine, no matter if tear drops start
I've found the secret
It's Jesus in my heart.
Happiness is to be forgiven
Living a life that's worth the living
Taking a trip that leads to Heaven
Happiness is the Lord (thrice).

When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged thinking all is lost;
Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
Count your blessings, name them one by one;
Count your many blessings, see what
God hath done;
Count your blessings, name them one by one
Count your many blessings, see what
God hath done
Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly,
And you will be singing as the days go by.
So amid the conflicts, whether great or small
Do not be discouraged, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you till your journey's end.

You shall go out with joy and be led forth in peace,
The mountains and the hills will break forth before you,
There'll be shouts of joy and all the trees at the field
Will clap, will clap their hands.
And all the trees of the field will clap their hands (3)
While you go out with joy.
And all the birds of the sky will chirp and sing (3)
And all the angels of heav'n will flap their wings (3)

Give me joy in my heart, keep me praising
Give me joy in my heart, I pray
Give my joy in my heart, keep me praising
Keep me praising till the end of day.
Sing hosanna, sing hosanna,
Sing hosanna to the King at Kings
Sing hosanna, sing hosanna, sing hosanna to the King.
Give me oil in my lamp, keep me burning,
Give me love in my work, keep me serving
Give me peace in my mind, keep me resting.
