Come to Me

Manoling Francisco, SJ

Come to Me, you who seek rest.
You who are weary, come to Me.
For I am peace, and you who come to Me
Will know My peace, it shall be yours to carry on.
Come to Me, you who seek My peace.

Come to Me, for My yoke is light,
Lay all your burdens unto Me.
I know your fears, they too are Mine
Believe in Me that I refresh weary souls.
Come to Me, you who seek repose.

Christ, be our Light

Bernadette Farrell

Longing for light, we wait in darkness.
Longing for truth, we turn to you.
Make us your own, your holy people,
Light for the world to see.

Ref:
Christ, be our light!
Shine in our hearts.
Shine through the darkness.
Christ, be our light! Shine in your Church gathered today.

Longing for peace, our world is troubles.
Longing for hope, many despair.
Your word alone has pow'r to save us.
Make us your living voice.

Longing for food, many are hungry.
Longing for water, many still thirst.
Make us your bread, broken for others,
Shared until all are fed.
