Trusting him, I shall not fear.
For the Lord defends and shields me
And his saving help is near.
So rejoice as you draw water
From salvation's living spring;
In the day of your deliv'rance
Thank the Lord, his mercies sing.
2 Make his deeds known to the peoples;
Tell out his exalted Name.
Praise the Lord, who has done great things;
All his works his might proclaim.
Zion, lift your voice in singing;
For with you has come to dwell,
In your very midst, the great and
Holy One of Israel. Topics: 9th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C; Advent; Compassion; Confidence; Hope; Praise; Providence; Second Coming; Thanksgiving; Trust; Trust Scripture: Isaiah 12 Used With Tune: RAQUEL

As We Gather at Your Table
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Hymnal: Sing the Faith #2268 (2003) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 As we gather at your table,
as we listen to your word,
help us know, O God, your presence;
let our hearts and minds be stirred.
Nourish us with sacred story
till we claim it as our own;
teach us through this holy banquet
how to make Love’s victory known.
2 Turn our worship into witness
in the sacrament of life;
send us forth to love and serve you,
bringing peace where there is strife.
Give us, Christ, your great compassion
to forgive as you forgave;
may we still behold your image
in the world you died to save.
3 Gracious Spirit, help us summon
other guests to share that feast
where triumphant Love will welcome
those who had been last and least.
There no more will envy blind us
nor will pride our peace destroy,
as we join with saints and angels
to repeat the sounding joy. Languages: English Tune Title: RAQUEL
