Mass of the Children: Finale (Dona nobis pacem)

Lord, open thou mine eyes that I may see thee
Lord, open thou my lips that I may praise thee
Lord, open thou my heart that I may love thee
Serve thee with joy, fear none above thee
Christ, be my sword and shield, my strong defender
Christ be my light and my Redeemer
Lord, be with me this day in each endeavour
Lord, keep my soul with thee, now and forever.

Dona Nobis Pacem, Pacem

Christ, be my guide today, my guide tomorrow
Christ, in my days of joy, my days of sorrow
Christ, in the silent hours when I lie sleeping
Safe in his holy angels' keeping
Christ, be within the hearts of all who love me
Christ all around and Christ above me
Christ in my thought and prayer, and my confessing
Christ, when I go to rest, grant me your blessing

Agnus Dei, Agnus Dei
Qui Tollis Pecata Mundi

Glory to thee, my God, this night
For all the blessings of the light

Dona Nobis Pacem
Dona Nobis Pacem

Keep me, O keep me, King of kings
Beneath thy own almighty wings

Dona Nobis Pacem, Dona Nobis Pacem
Dona, Dona, Dona, Dona

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow,
Praise him, all creatures here below

Dona Nobis Pacem
Dona Nobis Pacem
Dona Nobis Pacem, Dona Nobis Pacem

Praise him above, ye heav'nly host,
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost

Dona Nobis Pacem
Dona Nobis Pacem

Dona Nobis Pacem (Dona Nobis Pacem)
Dona Nobis Pacem (Dona Nobis Pacem)
Dona Nobis Pacem
Amen.
