SONGS & HYMNS FROM THE POLKA MASS
THE ANGELUS
Je angel Gospodov oznanil Mariji
In ona spocela od vetega Duha
Cescena si Marija, je angelski glas
Bo zadnja ura bila, Marija Prid po nas
Marija je rekla, gley bozja sam dekla
Naj se mi zgodi, Kador angel veli
Cescena si Marija, je angelski glas
Bo zadnja ura bila, Marija Prid po nas
In sveta Beseda meso je postala
Med nam prebival je Jezus ji imi
Cescena si Marija, je angelski glas
Bo zadnja ura bila, Marija Prid po nas

AT THIS SACRIFICE
At this sacrifice we gather
Celebrating of your love
For the sins we have committed
Grant us pardon, Lord above
Hearts to grow a little tender
As the time of life goes on
Love and kindness for each other
Much too fast the moments fly
Jesus, we’re not worthy ever
To receive you here today
Say the word, denying never
Make us pure again, we pray
God is love, and god is mighty
God is ever merciful
Graces from his holy bounty
Sends his love most wonderful
True the ages and forever
In the heavenly domain
Show the path for us gto enter
There for always to remain
Life is like a dying ember
Only moment to remain
Increase our feeble faith, oh Jesus
Shed they healing light on us
WE OFFER BREAD AND WINE
We offer bread and wine
To show our love for You
We share this sacred meal
Because You want us to
Lord accept us as we are
For we come from near and far
To worship through Your Son
Children of a sinful race
Who do not seem out of place
But worshipping as one
Our work and joy and pain
We also offer You
Accept our humble gifts
Because we want You to
Lord accept us as we are
For we come from near and far
To worship through Your Son
Children of a sinful race
Who do not seem out of place
But worshipping as one
We realize that we’re poor
But we offer what we can
Accept our change of heart
Accept our open hand
Lord accept us as we are
For we come from near and far
To worship through Your Son
Children of a sinful race
Who do not seem out of place
But worshipping as one
Now as we celebrate
This sacrament of love
You give yourself to man
A gift from above
Lord accept us as we are
For we come from near and far
To worship through Your Son
Children of a sinful race
Who do not seem out of place
But worshipping as one

Joyful hope love of God and smiling faces

Put an end to death and strife
Now we celebrate as one and sons of God
So let the Son shine in
Shake hands with your neighbor
And happiness will never leave your heart
So let the Son shine in

And happiness will never leave your heart

People wishing all their friends the Peace of Christ
Happy feeling in the air

And then join all those who share the peace of Christ
So let the Son shine in
Shake hands with your neighbor
And happiness will never leave your heart
So let the Son shine in
Share Christ with your neighbor
And happiness will never leave your heart
