The bliss of Heaven - Anonymous

The bliss of Heaven,
I will worship you a thousandfold,
Revered fruit of a mature tree,
Long awaited by your people,
Protection of spiritual strength,
Heed my call.

You come down from the stars - Alfonso Maria de' Liguori

You come down from the stars
Oh, King of Heavens,
And You come in a cave in the cold, in the frost.
Oh, my Divine Baby
I see you trembling here,
Oh, Blessed God
Ah, how much it costs You, your loving me.

The years have passed and still pass…
Yet you seem to me only
Illusive and a far dream,
Like invincible mountain.

Nor do I want to be.
I don't want anyone to be afraid of me.

Day by day, God’s gracious love surrounds me - Lina Sandell

Day by day, God’s gracious love surrounds me
As a balm to soothe my troubled heart.
Countless cares and worries that confound me
Fade away or quietly depart,
For His heart is kind beyond all measure,
And He comforts us as He knows best.

Which is unknown to me?
How swift thou flewest at break of day,
With heart all full of glee!

"Runnin' down the Tropics a sight she was to see,
A pictur' to see with 'er sails both large and small,
An' 'er pretty skysails atop of 'em all."

No Pain Like Our Pain - Rabbi Tamara Cohen

Dear God, help us look,
look closer so that we may see
our children in their children,
their children in our own.
