Profession of Faith

I believe in God, the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
he descended into hell;
on the third day he rose again from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;
from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.
Amen.

Repose of the Blessed Sacrament: Surely the Presence of the Lord

Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place.
I can feel his mighty power and his grace.
I can hear the brush of angel’s wings.
I see the glory on each face.
Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place.

Dismissal: Saturday: Blest Be the Lord – Sunday This Little Light of Mine

Text: African-American spiritual

This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine (3x)
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

The Light that shines is the light of love,
Lights the darkness from above.
It shines on me and it shines on you.
Shows what the power of love can do.
I’m gonna shine my light both far and near.
I’m gonna shine my light both bright and clear.
If there’s a dark corner in this land
I’m gonna let my little light shine

Everywhere I go, I’m gonna let it shine (3x)
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

Some say “It’s dark, we cannot see!”,
But love lights up the world for me.
Some say “Turn around and just go hide.”,
But we’ve got the power to change the tide.
Some call life a sad story,
But we see a world that’s bound for glory.
The real power, is yours and mine,
So let your little light shine!

Jesus gave it to me, I’m gonna let it shine (3x)
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

On Monday, give me the gift of love.
On Tuesday, peace came from above.
On Wednesday, told me to watch and pray.
On Thursday, tell me just what to say.
On Friday, settle me down someplace.
On Saturday, give me a little more grace.
On Sunday, give me the power divine,
Just to let my little light shine!

This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine (3x)
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
