In the Virgin’s womb He lay;
God made flesh, the mortal babe.
In her body she has held
That which heav’n can not contain.
In the Virgin’s womb He lay;
Born to die, His flesh a grave.
In her arms she has held
He whom death could not hold down.

O Come, O Come Emmanuel
02:49
|

Oh, come, oh, come, Emmanuel,
Kyrie eleison
And ransom captive Israel,
Kyrie eleison
That mourns in lonely exile here
Christe eleison
Until the Son of God appear.
Kyrie eleison
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Ky- ri- e
Shall come to you, O Israel!
El- e- i- son
Oh, come, O Key of David, come,
And open wide our heav'nly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel!
Oh, come, our Dayspring from on high,
And cheer us by your drawing nigh,
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
And death's dark shadows put to flight.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel!
Oh, come, Desire of nations,
bind In one the hearts of all mankind;
Oh, bid our sad divisions cease,
And be yourself our King of Peace.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel!

O Cross, Salvific stem, the watering, living fount,
whose blossom is fragrant, whose fruit is longed for.
Jesus, begotten of God,
Jesus foreshadowed,
Jesus sent from heaven,
Jesus born of Mary.
Jesus with the Patriarchs,
Jesus shown the Magi,
Jesus subject to the law,
Jesus from your Kingdom
Jesus holy in the womb,
Jesus tempted by Satan,
Jesus wondrous in the signs,
Jesus transfigured.
Jesus the good shepherd,
Jesus sprinkled with tears,
Jesus King of the world,
Jesus Sacred Bread

Savior of the nations, come,
Virgin's Son, make here Thy home!
Marvel heaven, wonder earth
That the Lord chose such a birth.
Not by human flesh and blood,
By the Spirit of our God,
Was the Word of God made flesh--
Woman's Offspring, pure and fresh.
Wondrous birth! O wondrous Child
Of the Virgin undefiled!
Though by all the world disowned,
Still to be in heaven enthroned.
Thou, the Father's only Son,
Hast o'er sin the victory won.
Boundless shall Thy kingdom be;
When shall we its glories see?
Praise to God the Father sing,
Praise to God the Son, our King,
Praise to God the Spirit be
Ever and eternally.

In These Long, Last Days
03:33
|
|||
In these long, last days
She has borne creation’s Crown;
Heavy, sore, afraid,
The weight of love is bearing down.
We will wait. Even so,
Come Lord, come.
In these long, last days
We must bear the weight of sin.
Broken, torn, alone;
Till you bring your peace to reign.
We will wait. Even so,
Come Lord, come.
Don’t forget us, Lord.
Don’t forget us, Lord.
While we wait.
We will wait. Even so,
Come Lord, come.

In the Virgin’s womb He lay;
God made flesh, the mortal babe.
In her body she has held
That which heav’n can not contain.
In the Virgin’s waters bathed
Saint John recognized that babe
The Baptizer did rejoice
Behold the mother of my Lord
At the Virgin’s breast he fed
Milk sustained our Holy Bread
Now his body and his blood
He gives us for Heavenly food
In the Virgin’s womb He lay;
Born to die, His flesh a grave.
In her arms she has held
He whom death could not hold down.

Magnificat

God who is mighty
has done great things for me
Holy Holy
is his name
His mercy is on those who fear him
in every generation
He shows the strength of his arm
He scatters the proud
God who is mighty
has done great things for me
Holy Holy
is his name
He casts down the mighty
He lifts up the lowly
He fills the hungry with good things
The rich he sent away empty
God who is mighty
has done great things for me
Holy Holy
is his name
He comes to help his servant Israel
the promise he made of mercy
He promised our fathers
He promised his children
God who is mighty
has done great things for me
Holy Holy
is his name
My soul rejoices
in God my Savior
my soul rejoices
my soul rejoices

1 Of the Father's love begotten
ere the worlds began to be,
he is Alpha and Omega,
he the Source, the Ending he,
of the things that are, that have been,
and that future years shall see,
evermore and evermore!
2 O the birth forever blessed,
when the Virgin, full of grace,
overshadowed by the Spirit,
bore the Savior of our race;
and the babe, the world's Redeemer,
first revealed his sacred face,
evermore and evermore!
3 This is he whom seers and sages
sang of old with one accord,
whom the voices of the prophets
promised in their faithful word;
now he shines, the long-expected;
let creation praise its Lord,
evermore and evermore!
4 O the heights of heav'n, adore him;
angel hosts, his praises sing;
pow'rs dominions, bow before him,
and extol our God and King;
let no tongue on earth be silent,
ev'ry voice in concert ring,
evermore and evermore!

I love your law, I love your truth
All my ways are known to you
Rulers hate me without cause
Yet only at your word do I stand in awe
I rejoice in your promises
For I am like the one who has found great riches
I hate falsehood and deceit
But you always deal justly on your mercy seat
I love your law and your righteous word
Seven times a day will I praise you, Lord
Those who love your law find peace
They don’t stumble in the dark for you guide their feet
Your salvation is at hand
I live abundant life following your commands

Puer Natus in Bethlehem
03:31
|
|||
A child is born in Bethlehem
Exult for joy, Jerusalem
There, in a lowly manger lies
He who reigns above the skies
With an exultant heart
Let us adore the new-born Christ
And sing a new song
He comes, a maiden mother's son
Yet earthly father he hath none
And from the serpent's poison free
He owned our blood and pedigree
Our feeble flesh and his the same
Our sinless kinsman he became
That we, from deadly thrall set free
Like him, and so like God, should be
And to the Holy One in Three
Give praise and thanks eternally
