INTRIOTO
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*

And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us, deliver us from evil

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
