Hymns & Prayers

जन-गण-मन अधिनायक जय हे,
भारत भाग्य विधाता!
पंजाब-सिंध-गुजरात-मराठा,
द्राविड़-उत्कल-बंग
विंध्य हिमाचल यमुना गंगा
उच्छल जलधि तरंग।
तव शुभ नामे जागे
तव शुभ आशीष मागे।
गाहे तव जयगाथा।
जन गण मंगलदायक जय हे
भारत भाग्य विधाता।
जय हे, जय हे, जय हे
जय जय जय जय हे॥

Loving Father,
Make me channel of your peace
To bring love
Where there is hatred,
To bring pardon
Where there is injury.

Master, give me the strength
To console those in tears
To understand those in confusion,
To love those in misery
And to forgive those in hatred.

Give me the courage
To work for peace
In this world!

Praise him, praise him,
Praise him when the sun goes down

2. Love him, Love him,
Love him in the morning,
Love him in the noon time,
Love him, Love him,
Love him when the sun goes down

3. Trust him, Trust him,
Trust him in the morning,
Trust him in the noon time,
Trust him, Trust him,
Trust him when the sun goes down

3) GREAT INDEED ARE YOUR WORKS O LORD

Great indeed are your works O Lord
Now and ever more (2)

1. The universe, night and day,
Tells of all your wonders.
You are our life and our light.
We shall praise you always.

2. You are the path which we tread,
You will lead us onward.
From every corner of earth,
All the nations gather.

4) THE WORLD STANDS IN NEED OF LIBERATION

The world stands in need of liberation, My Lord.
It still has to feel your power,
The blind and the deaf, the dumb and the maimed,
All need to feel your healing touch.

The world stands in need of liberation, My Lord
It still has to learn to love.

There are those who have eyes but refuse to see
The inhumanity that's done.
There are those who have ears but refuse to hear
The cries of those in agony.

1. ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains,
And the mountains in reply,
Echo still their joyous strain:
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Gloria in excelsis Deo!

Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
Say, what may the tidings be,
Which inspire your heav'nly song?

Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord, the newborn king.

2. GO, TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAINS

Chorus: Go, tell it on the mountains,
Over the hills and everywhere,
Go tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born.

While shepherds kept their watching,
O'er wandering flocks by night,
