Catholic Wedding Songs

Lyrics

1. Praise to the Living Lord (Entrance)

Praise to the living Lord.
Praise to His name.
He gives us everything.
Holy is His name.

Praise to the living Lord,
Light of the world
He gives us everything,
His blessing and His love

Open wide the gates on high.
May God’s blessing bring
His peace and love to everyone
gathered as we sing.

Praise to the living Lord.
Praise to His name.
He gives us everything.
Holy is His name.

2. Aleluya

Aleluya, praise the Lord.
Aleluya, praise the Lord.
His word is life, His way is love.
Aleluya, praise the Lord.

3. May Your Light Shine Forever (Antiphon)

May your light shine forever,
May our love be as one
as we follow the Lord Jesus,
the light of the world.
May we witness together
God’s mercy and love
as we follow the Lord Jesus,
the light of the world.

4. We Bring Our Gifts Today (Offertory)

We bring our gifts today,
the gifts of love and faith,
the blessings that we share,
the faith that brought us here.

The love of God we know will
always guide our ways
and bring us safe together
to God’s eternal home.

So many days we spent,
the dreams the hopes the joys,
not knowing everything
but trusting in the Lord.

The love of God we know
will always guide our ways
And bring us safe together
to God’s eternal home.

5. Magnificat: My Soul Proclaims (Communion)

My soul proclaims the blessings of the Lord
and my spirit is filled with His goodness.
He has looked on my lowliness my innocence
and has raised me high among the nations.

REFRAIN: I will sing out His praises every day.
I will sing of His love, His consolation.
For the Lord is good to me:
He's my life, my destiny.

He raised up the lowly from their ways.
He scattered the proud, the unfaithful.
He remembers His promises of old
and sent His only Son to be our Savior.

REFRAIN: I will sing out...
In times of trouble, darkness and despair,
not knowing where to turn for answers,
let us put our hope in the Lord.
He will carry all our heavy burdens.

REFRAIN: I will sing out...

6. Hail Mary (Communion)

Hail Mary, full of grace.
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners
now and at the hour of our death, amen.

7. The Time Has Come (Communion)

The time has come to share our lives together;
to be as one and never doubt the other;
to raise our hands and hearts to thank the Lord
for this miracle of love, this miracle of love,
The mystery I do not understand.
Yet I know that there’s a guiding hand.
And as we grow together we will be
blessed with the love of many friends,
blessed with the love of God and family.
