1. Hark! A herald voice is calling:
‘Christ is nigh’ it seems to say;
‘cast away the dreams of darkness,
waken children of the day!’
2. Startled at the solemn warning,
let the earth-bound soul a-rise;
Christ, her sun, all sloth dis-pelling,
shines upon the morning skies.
3. Lo! The Lamb, so long expected,
comes with pardon down from heav'n;
let us meet him with re-pentence,
pray that we may be forgiv'n.
4. So when next he comes with glory,
wrapping all the earth in fear,
may he then as our de-fender
on the clouds of heav'n appear.
5. Honour, glory, praise and blessing,
to the Father and the Son,
with the everlasting Spir-it,
while unending a - ges run.

Omitted Advent
Psalm 125
RESPONSE: (Cantor, then all)
What marvels the Lord worked for us!
Indeed we were glad.
1. When the Lord delivered Zion from bondage,
it seemed like a dream.
Then was our mouth filled with laughter,
on our lips there were songs.
R/ What marvels the Lord worked for us!
Indeed we were glad.
2. The heathens themselves said: ‘What marvels
the Lord worked for them!’
What marvels the Lord worked for us!
Indeed we were glad.
R/ What marvels the Lord worked for us!
Indeed we were glad.
3. Deliver us, O Lord, from our bondage
as streams in dry land.
Those who are sowing in tears
will sing when they reap.
R/ What marvels the Lord worked for us!
Indeed we were glad.
4. They go out, they go out, full of tears,
carrying seed for the sowing:
they come back, they come back, full of song,
carrying their sheaves.
R/ What marvels the Lord worked for us!
Indeed we were glad.

Mass of Creation | Music by Marty Haugen
Lamb of God, you take away
the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away
the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away
the sins of the world, have mercy on us,
Grant us peace.
Mass of Creation | Music by Marty Haugen
My Jesus,
I believe that You are present
in this Holy Sacrament of the altar.
I love You above all things
and I passionately desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,
come spiritually into my soul
so that I may unite myself wholly to You
now and forever.
Amen.
Based on a prayer of St Alphonsus Liguorit

1. O come, divine Messi - ah!
The world in silence waits the day
When hope shall sing its tri - umph,
And sadness flee a - way.
CHORUS:
Dear Sa - viour haste;
Come, come to earth,
Dispel the night and show your face,
And bid us hail the dawn of grace.
O come, divine Messi - ah!
The world in silence waits the day
When hope shall sing its tri - umph,
And sadness flee a - way.
2. O Come, desired of nations
whom priest and prophets long foretold,
will break the captive fetters,
redeem the long-lost fold.
3. O come in peace and meekness,
for lowly will your cradle be:
all clothed in human weakness
shall we your Godhead see.
