Come, Thou long expected Jesus
Born to set Thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us,
Let us find our rest in Thee.
Israel’s Strength and Consolation,
Hope of all the earth Thou art;
Dear Desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.
Born Thy people to deliver,
Born a child and yet a King,
Born to reign in us forever,
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring.
By Thine own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By Thine all sufficient merit,
Raise us to Thy glorious throne
By Thine all sufficient merit,
Raise us to Thy glorious throne

Psalm 88
RESPONSE: (Cantor, then all)
R/I will sing, I will sing forever, sing for ever of your love, O Lord.
I will sing for ever of your love, O Lord;
Through all ages my mouth will proclaim your truth.
Of this I am sure, that your love lasts for ever,
that your truth is firmly established as the heavens.
R/I will sing, I will sing forever, sing for ever of your love, O Lord.
‘I have made a covenant with my chosen one;
I have sworn to David my servant:
I will establish your dynasty for ever
and set up your throne through all ages.
R/I will sing, I will sing forever, sing for ever of your love, O Lord.
‘He will say to me: “You are my father,
my God, the rock who saves me.”
I will keep my love for him always;
with him my covenant shall last.’
R/I will sing, I will sing forever, sing for ever of your love, O Lord.

Come Lord, Jesus, save us now.
In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter, long ago.
Our God, heaven cannot hold Him, nor earth sustain;
Heaven and earth shall flee away when He comes to reign.
In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ.
Angels and archangels may have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air;
But His mother only, in her maiden bliss,
Worshipped the beloved with a kiss.
What can I give Him, poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;
If I were a Wise Man, I would do my part;
Yet what I can I give Him: give my heart.
Words and Music: Gustav Holst
Holy, Holy, Ho-ly

Blessed is he who comes in the

Mass of St Luke | Music by Mike Stanley
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 Holy Trinity | Music by Mike Stanley
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

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, All is bright
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child
Holy Infant so Tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight,
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavenly hosts sing Alleleulia
Christ the Saviour is born!
Christ the saviour is born.
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
with the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus Lord at thy birth,
Jesus Lord at thy birth.

VERSE 1:
Hark the herald an - gels sing,
glory to the new born king
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners re - con-ciled.
Joyful all ye na - tions ri-se,
join the triumph of the sk-ies
With the angelic host pro-claim
‘Christ is born in Bethlehem’
Hark the herald an - gels sing,
‘Glory to the new born King’
VERSE 2:
Christ, by highest heav'n a - dored,
Christ, the everlasting Lord,
late in time behold him come,
off-spring of a Vir-gin’s womb!
Veiled in flesh the God-head see,
hail the incarnate De - i - ty!
Pleased as man with man to dwell,
Je - sus, our Emman-u-el.
Hark the herald an - gels sing,
‘Glory to the new born King’
VERSE 3:
Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace,
Hail the son of righteous - ness,
Light and life to all he brings,
risen with healing in his wings
Mild he lays his glory by,
born that we no more may die
Born to raise us from the earth,
born to give us sec - ond birth
Hark the herald an - gels sing,
‘Glory to the new born King’
