Give me joy in my heart, keep me praising,
Give me joy in my heart, I pray,
Give me joy in my heart, keep me praising,
Keep me praising till the break of day.

Sing hosanna, sing hosanna,
Sing hosanna to the King of kings!
Sing hosanna, sing hosanna,
Sing hosanna to the King.

Give me peace in my heart, I pray,
Give me peace in my heart, keep me loving,
Keep me loving till the break of day.

Give me love in my heart, keep me serving,
Give me love in my heart, I pray;
Give me love in my heart, keep me serving,
Keep me serving till the break of day.
Refrain
Year 1 – Owls
I watch the sunrise lighting the sky,
Casting its shadows near
And on this morning, bright though it be,
I feel those shadows near me
But you are always close to me, following all my ways
May I always be close to you, following all your ways Lord
I watch the sunlight shine through the clouds,
Warming the earth below
And at the midday, life seems to say;
“ I feel your brightness near me”
I watch the sunset, fading away,
Lighting the clouds with sleep
And as the evening closes its eyes,
I feel your presence near me
I watch the moonlight guarding the night,
Waiting till morning comes
The air is silent, earth is at rest-
Only your peace is near me
Year 2
At the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow
Every tongue confess him, King of glory now
Tis the Father’s pleasure we should call him Lord
Who from the beginning was the mighty word
Humbled for a season to receive a name
From the lips of sinners unto whom he came
Faithfully he bore it, spotless to the last
Brought it back victorious when from death he passed
Name him, brothers name him, with love a strong as death
But with awe and wonder and with bated breath
He is God the saviour, He is Christ the Lord
Ever to be worshipped, trusted and adored
Year 3
Love is his word, love is his way
Feasting with men, fasting alone
Living and dying, rising again
Love only love is his way
Chorus Richer than gold is the love of my Lord
Better than splendour or wealth
Love is his way, love is his mark
Sharing his last Passover feast
Christ at the table, host to the 12
Love, only love is his mark
Love is his mark, love is his sign
Bread for our strength, wine for our joy
“This is my body, this is my blood”
Love only love is his sign
Love is his sign, love is his news
“Do this” he said “lest you forget
All my deep sorrow, all my dear blood”
Love only love is his news
Love is his name, love is his law
Hear his command all who are his
“Love one another, I have loved you”
Love only love is his law
Year 4
When from the sky in the splendour of summer
Sunlight pours down over roof, over wood
We sing of the kindness, extravagant kindness
Of God who is Father and Lord of all good
Our Lord Jesus Christ , Our sins he has taken
His light makes us purer and ready for Him
He died for our sins on the cross of Calv’ry
He rose from the dead and his flame never dims
O Holy Spirit make me as your own voice
Guide all my actions and all of my ways
So I can be like my dearest Saviour
and follow the right path through all of my days
