I lift my eyes to the mountains; from where shall help come to me?
My help comes from the Lord my God, for he is merciful.
When we are lost he searches for us, to hold us in his arms.
His holy blood will heal our wounds to breathe new life into us.
Blest are the merciful, blest are the merciful,
for it is mercy that shall be shown to those who show mercy.
Blest are the merciful, blest are the merciful,
for it is mercy that shall be shown to those who show mercy.
Unless the Lord forgives when we fall we wouldn't be able to stand,
but he forgives, he pardons us. Let us do the same.
God paid our debts with the blood of his Son who rose alive from the tomb.
Our spirit within cries out to the world: Jesus is the Lord!
Blest are the merciful, blest are the merciful,
for it is mercy that shall be shown to those who show mercy.
Blest are the merciful, blest are the merciful,
for it is mercy that shall be shown to those who show mercy.
So cast aside your fear and have faith.
Give your cares to the Lord and trust in Him for He is risen.
The Lord your God is alive!
Blest are the merciful, blest are the merciful,
for it is mercy that shall be shown to those who show mercy.
Blest are the merciful, blest are the merciful,
for it is mercy that shall be shown to those who show mercy.
Blest are the merciful, blest are the merciful,
for it is mercy that shall be shown to those who show mercy.
Original music and lyrics by Jakub Blycharz English translation by Henry Michael Kurylewski
All you nations, sing out your joy to the Lord: Alleluia, alleluia!
Joyfully shout, all you on earth, give praise to the glory of God;
And with a hymn, sing out with glorious praise: Alleluia!
All you nations, sing out your joy to the Lord: Alleluia, alleluia!
Lift up your hearts, sing to your God: tremendous your deeds on the earth!
Vanquished your foes, struck down by power and might: Alleluia!

Honour God's name, in highest heaven give praise: Alleluia!

Come forth and see all the great works that God has brought forth in great might;
Fall on your knees before the glorious throne: Alleluia!

And to the Spirit, source of life and of love; Alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
O sons and daughters, let us sing!
The King of heav'n the glorious King,
O'er death today rose triumphing. Alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
That Easter morn, at break of day,
The faithful women went their way
To seek the tomb where Jesus lay. Alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
An angel clad in white they see,
Who sat, and spoke unto the three,
"Your Lord has gone to Galilee." Alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
That night the apostles met in fear;
Amidst them came their Lord most dear,
And said, "My peace be on all here." Alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
When Thomas, first the tidings heard,
How they had seen the risen Lord,
He doubted the disciples' word. Alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
"My wounded side, O Thomas, see;
Behold my hands, my feet," said he,
"Not faithless, but believing be." Alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
No longer Thomas then denied,
He saw the feet, the hands, the side;
"You are my Lord and God," he cried. Alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
How blest are they who have not seen,
And yet whose faith has constant been,
For they eternal life shall win. Alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
On this most holy day of days,
To God your hearts and voices raise,
In laud, and jubilee and praise. Alleluia!
God with hidden majesty, lies in presence here,
I with deep devotion my true God revere:
Whom this outward shape and form secretly contains,
Christ in his divinity manhood still retains.
All my other senses, cannot now perceive,
But my hearing, taught by faith, always will believe:
I accept whatever God the Son has said:
Those who hear the word of God, by the truth are fed.
God lay stretched upon the cross, only man could die.
Here upon the altar God and man both lie;
This I firmly hold as true, this is my belief,
And I seek salvation, like the dying thief.
Wounds that doubting Thomas saw I could never see,
But I still acknowledge you my true God to be;
Grant that I shall always keep strong in faith and trust,
Guided by my Saviour, merciful and just.
Blest reminder of the death suffered for the world,
Sacrament of living bread, health to every mind,
Let my soul approach you, live within your grace,
Let me taste the perfect joys time shall not efface.
Love divine, all loves excelling,
Joy of heav'n to earth come down;
Fix in us thy humble dwelling;
All thy faithful mercies crown!
Jesus, Thou art all compassion,
Pure unbounded love Thou art;
Visit us with Thy salvation,
Enter every trembling heart.
Come, Almighty to deliver,
Let us all Thy life receive;
Suddenly return, and never,
Nevermore Thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing,
Serve Thee as Thy hosts above,
Pray and praise Thee without ceasing,
Glory in Thy perfect love.
Finish, then, Thy new creation;
Pure and spotless let us be;
Let us see Thy great salvation
Perfectly restored in Thee;
Changed from glory into glory,
Till in heav'n we take our place,
Till we cast our crowns before Thee,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise.
Sing, my tongue, the Saviour's glory,
Of his flesh the myst'ry sing:
Of the Blood, all price exceeding,
Shed by our immortal King,
Destined for the world's redemption,
From a noble womb to spring.
Of a pure and spotless virgin
Born for us on earth below,
He, as man, with men conversing,
Stayed, the seeds of truth to sow;
Then he closed in solemn order
Wondrously his life of woe.
On the night of that last supper,
Seated with his chosen band,
He, the Paschal victim eating,
First fulfills the Law's command;
Then as food, to his apostles
Gives himself with his own hand.
Word made flesh, the bread of nature
By his word to flesh he turns;
Wine into his blood he changes:
What though sense no change discerns?
Only be the heart in earnest,
Faith her lesson quickly learns.
Down in adoration falling
Lo, the sacred host we hail;
Lo, o'er ancient forms departing
Newer rites of grace prevail,
Faith, for all defects supplying
Where the feeble senses fail.
To the everlasting Father
And the Son who reigns on high,
With the Holy Ghost proceeding
Forth from each eternally,
Be salvation, honour, blessing,
Might and endless majesty.
Father, Lord of earth and heaven,
God the holy, God the strong,
Bless these gifts with grace and healing,
King to whom all gifts belong.
O Redeemer, hear our singing;
Listen to our voice and prayer.

Raise us up and make us whole;

Health of body, peace of soul.

Listen to our voice and prayer.
Christ, our light, our joy, our glory,
Strengthen us with heav'nly grace;

God the Spirit's dwelling place.

Listen to our voice and prayer.
Christ, our leader, single-handed,
You have brought us victory;
Bless this oil to keep your people
Strong and watchful, bold and free.

Listen to our voice and prayer.

Sealed as God's beloved Son,
With your chrism anoint your people,
Make them holy, make them strong.

Holy priesthood's holy seal;

Joy that once on Christ you shed;
Send us out as God's true servants,
One with Christ, our glorious head.

Listen to our voice and prayer.
Be among us, God our Father,
Be among us, God the Son,
Be among us, Holy Spirit;
Dwell within us, make us one.

Listen to our voice and prayer.

And given for us.

Dispelling all our fears.

The glory of God,
The light of the world.
O Sacred Head, surrounded
By crown of piercing thorn!
O bleeding Head, so wounded,
Reviled and put to scorn!
The pow'r of death comes o'er you,
The glow of life decays,
Yet angel hosts adore you,
And tremble as they gaze.
O Jesus, we adore thee,
Upon the cross our King!
We humbly bow before thee,
And of thy vict'ry sing!
Thy cross is our salvation,
Our hope from day to day,
Our peace and consolation
When life shall fade away.
***
O Sacred Head surrounded
By crown of piercing thorn!
O bleeding Head, so wounded,
Reviled and put to scorn!
The pow'r of death comes o'er you,
The glow of life decays,
Yet angel hosts adore you,
And tremble as they gaze.
In this, your bitter passion,
Good Shepherd, think of me
With your most sweet compassion,
Unworthy though I be:
Beneath your cross abiding
For ever would I rest,
In your dear love confiding,
And with your presence blest.
Christ Jesus, we adore you,
Our thorn-crowned Lord and King.
We bow our heads before you,
And to your cross we cling.
Lord, give us strength to bear it
With patience and with love,
That we may truly merit
A glorious crown above.
