Hail, Hail, St. Francis de Sales glory to you,
SFS glory, glory.
You are the champion of God’s Kingdom,
You are the source of true wisdom 2
Christ you’re the radiance of SFS,
Dispel the shades of our ignorance (2)
You brighten the way to God and human,
Beacon on blue hills of Mizoram 2
You teach your pupils to learn and lead,
This for all time and eternity (2)

Make Me a Channel of Your Peace
Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there is hatred let me bring your love,
Where there is injury your pardon Lord,
And where there’s doubt true faith in you.
Cho: Oh master grant that I may never seek.
So much to be consoled as to console
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love with all my soul.
Make me a channel of your peace,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
In giving to all that we receive
And in dying that we are born to eternal life.
You Are With Me
Cho: You are with me wherever I go
Every moment Your life in me flows
You’re always there close by my side,
You are there O Lord both day and night.
You are with me in my mother’s womb,
You are with me in the days of gloom.
You helped me stand against all odds,
And you filled me with Your strength O Lord
In times of sorrow, in times of grief,
You gave me hope, strengthened my belief
When I did fall and was in pain,
Lord me on my feet again.
God Has Created a New Day
God has created a new day, Silver and Green and Gold
Pray that the sunshine may find us
Worthy is gift to behold
Great Francis De Sales
1. Great Francis our glorious patron
Listen to our hymn we sing
From thy lofty throne in heaven
Guard on our heavenly way
In thy footsteps may we follow,
Free from taint of sin or loss,
Till our final dedication,
Till we reach the heaven above
2. Great Francis you gentleman saint
Listen to these sinful souls
Help us to be truly humble,
As you followed Christ our Lord
Doctor of love, you O Francis
And in love of God you died
Help us also to love Jesus
And our neighbor as ourselves
3. Great Francis Apostle of Chablais
You worked for souls that strayed
Teach us to labor in God/s vineyard,
As thou did’st for Christ our Lord.
Shepherd of the fold of Jesus,
For his sheep thy life was spent
Help us to proclaim Lord Jesus.
To the people every where
Mermier Anthem (Founder’s Song)
There’s a song deep down in our hearts
Ringing tunes of praise and thanksgiving
Come and join us all creation
Come and sing to our founder
Lift your hearts and sing, lift your voices shout
Sing the praise of God, sing to God most high
Sons of Mermier, servant of Lord God
Sing to him a tune, of the Lord’s great love
In the shadows of human life
In the darkest moments of history
Come the men of God from high
Come to serve and save the world
In the silence of a hamlet
In the tiny land of Savoy
Born the great man of God’s love
Born our founder, Mermier
Showers of Blessings
There shall be showers of blessings
This is the promise of love
There shall be seasons refreshing
Sent from the savior above
Showers of blessings, showers of blessings we plead
Mercy drops round us are falling
But for the showers we plead
There shall be showers of blessings
Send them upon us O Lord
Grant us now a refreshing
Come and now honour thy word
Holy Queen We Bend Before You
Holy Queen we bend before thee, Queen of purity divine
Make us love thee, we implore thee, Make us truly to be thine
Teach, O teach us, holy mother
How to conquer every sin
How to love and help each other
How the prize of life to win
Unto thee a child was given, Greater than the sons of men
Coming down from highest heaven, to create the world again
Teach us how all earthly pleasures, all the world’s enchanting gloom
Are outrival’d by the treasures of the glorious world to come
Deep Within My Heart
Deep within my heart I feel/Voices whispering to me
Words that I can’t understand/ Meaning I must clearly hear
Calling me to follow close/ lest I leave myself behind
Calling me to walk into/ Evening shadows one more time
So I leave my boats behind (Leave them on)
Leave them on familiar shores (Set my heart)
Set my heart upon the deep (Follow you)
Follow you again my Lord (Again my Lord)
In my memories I know/ How you send familiar rains
Falling gently on my days/ Dancing patterns on my path
And I need to learn once more/ In the fortress of my mind
To believe in falling rains/ As I travel deserts dry
As I gaze into the night/ Down the future of my years
I’m not sure I want to walk/ Past horizons that I Know
But I feel my spirit called/ Like a stirring deep within
Restless till I live again/ Beyond the fears that close me in
