Text: Henry Richard McFayden, 1877–1964
The lone, wild bird in lofty flight
Is still with Thee, nor leaves Thy sight.
And I am Thine! I rest in Thee.
Great Spirit, come, and rest in me.
The ends of earth are in Thy hand,
The sea’s dark deep and far off land.
And I am Thine! I rest in Thee.
Great Spirit, come, and rest in me.
Sanctus William Mathias
Fraction Anthem Gerald Near
Communion Motet Veni, Creator Spiritus Plainsong
Text: Latin, 9th century
Come Creator Spirit, visit the souls of Thy people,
Fill with grace from on high the hearts which Thou hast created.
Inflame our senses with Thy light, pour Thy love into our hearts,
Strengthen our weak bodies with lasting power.
Grant us by Thee to know the Father and to know the Son,
And Thee, Spirit of both, may we always believe.
To God the Father be glory, to the Son Who rose from the dead
And to the Comforter, for all ages. Amen.
