Verses 1-4
1. O come, O come Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lowly exile here
Until the Son of God appear
REFRAIN:
Rejoice, Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
2. O Come, thou wisdom from on high
and order all things mightily;
to us the path of knowledge show,
and teach us in her ways to go.
3. O Come, O come, thou Lord of might,
who to thy tribes, on Sinai's height
in ancient times, didst give the law
in cloud and majesty and awe:
4. O come, thou Rod of Jesse, free
thine own from Satan's tyranny;
from depths of hell thy people save,
and give them victory o'er the grave:

MAGNIFICAT
CHORUS:
My soul glorifies the Lord, my spirit rejoices
My God forever he will be, bless his holy name.
VERSE 1:
He looks upon me his servant,
looks on me in my lowliness.
He works marvels for me,
Hence forth all ages call me blessed,
Call me blessed.
VERSE 2:
He scatters the proud hearted,
casts the mighty from their thrones.
His mighty arm before me,
In strength he raises the lowly,
raises the lowly.
VERSE 3:
He fills the starving with plenty,
but empty sends the rich away.
From age to age his mercy,
The mercy promised us forever,
promised forever.
Music by Joanne Boyce
CANTOR THEN ALL:
Alleluia (x4)
The spirit of the Lord has been given to me.
He has sent me to bring the good news to the poor.
Mass of Creation | Music by Marty Haugen
I am the voice
crying out from the wilderness
Prepare the way for the Lord
Open your hearts
and know his forgiveness
Repent and believe in his Word
CHORUS:
Why do you ask ‘who is the one who sent me’
Why do you ask if I am the Christ
For a greater one will come
to be the redeemer
Only He can be the saving light
Even today we can meet God in our hearts
Even today we see the dove
Don’t be deceived for if we believe
We receive the Father through the Son
Word & Music by Mike Stanley
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord, God of hosts
Heaven and earth are full of your glory
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is He
who comes in the name of the Lord
Hosanna in the Highest,
Hosanna in the Highest.
Mass of the creation by Marty Haugen
We proclaim your Death, O Lord
and profess your Resurrection
until you come again... (2)
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,
grant us peace; grant us peace.
Mass of The Creation - 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
