1. Console my people, the ones dear to me:
speak to the heart of Jerusalem:
the time of your mourning is ended now,
the Lord of life will come.

Refrain:
A voice cries out in the wilderness:
Prepare a way for the Lord!
A voice cries out in the wilderness:
Make straight a high-way for God!

2. Ev'ry valley is made a plain,
ev'ry mountain is leveled,
the glory of God shall then be revealed,
and the nations will sing in praise. (refrain)

3. A voice shouts: 'Cry!' O what shall I cry?
'All flesh is like grass and its flowers:
the grass may wither, the flower may fade,
but the word of the Lord is forever.' (refrain)

4. Zion, shout from the mountain top,
lift up your voice O Jerusalem,
and say to the people of God's own land,
'Behold, behold your God!' (refrain)

5. The Lord will appear as a shepherd,
holding his lambs in his arms,
keeping his flock so close to his heart
leading them all, old and young. (refrain)

Candle song Children’s

Penitential Rite

Psalm 57 Psalm 125 What marvels the Lord worked for us
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mlrLTRBg9c


Cantor:
What marvels the Lord worked for us!
Indeed we were glad. (All: repeat)

Cantor:
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, on our lips there were songs.

The heathens themselves said
'What marvels the Lord worked for them!'
What marvels the Lord worked for us!
Indeed we were glad, indeed we were glad.

Deliver us, Lord, from our bondage,
as streams in dry land.
Those who are sowing in tears
will sing when they reap, will sing when they reap.

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, carrying their sheaves.

Thanks to your Goodness this bread we offer
Fruit of the earth, work of our hands
It will become the Bread of life

Refrain:
Blessed be God, blessed be God,
Blessed be God forever, Amen

2. Blest are You, Lord, God of all creation

941 There is a longing
http://www.spiritandsong.com/compositions/13226

Refrain
There is a longing in our hearts, O Lord,
for you to reveal yourself to us.
There is a longing in our hearts
for love we only find in you, our God.

1. For justice, for freedom,
for mercy: hear our prayer.
In sorrow, in grief:
be near, hear our prayer, O God.

2. For wisdom, for courage,
for comfort: hear our prayer.
In weakness, in fear:
be near, hear our prayer, O God.

3. For healing, for wholeness,
for new life: hear our prayer.
In sickness, in death:
be near, hear our prayer, O God.

4. Lord save us, take pity,
light in our darkness.
We call you, we wait:
be near, hear our prayer, O God.

83 Benedictus (tune only)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15AccZAcdpk

1. Blest be the Lord, the God of Israel,
Who brings the dawn
and darkest night dispels,
Who raises up a mighty Saviour from the earth,
Of David's line, a son of royal birth.

2. The prophets tell a story just begun
Of vanquished foe
and glorious vict'ry won,
Of promise made to all
who keep the law as guide:
God's faithful love and mercy will abide.

3. This is the oath once sworn to Abraham:
All shall be free to dwell upon the land,
Free now to praise,
unharmed by the oppressor's rod,
Holy and righteous in the sight of God.

4. And you, my child,
this day you shall be called
The promised one, the prophet of our God,
For you will go before the Lord
to clear the way,
And shepherd all into the light of day.

5. The tender love
God promised from our birth
Is soon to dawn upon this shadowed earth,
To shine on those whose sorrows
seem to never cease,
To guide our feet into the path of peace.

6. All glory be to God, Creator blest,
To Jesus Christ,
God's love made manifest,
And to the Holy Spirit, gentle Comforter,
All glory be, both now and evermore.

111 My soul in stillness waits
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPpSZI1mpi0
Refrain:
For you, O lord,my soul in stillness waits.
Truly my hope is in you.

1. O Lord of Light, our only hope of glory,
your radiance shines in all who look to you.
Come light the hearts of all in dark and shadow.

2. O Spring of Joy, rain down upon our spirits.
Our thirsty hearts are yearning for your Word.
Come, make us whole; be comfort to our hearts.

3. O Root of Life, implant your seed within us,
and in your advent draw us all to you,
our hope reborn in dying and in rising.

4. O Key of Knowledge, guide us in our pilgrimage,
We ever seek, yet unfulfilled remain.
Open to us the pathway of your peace.

5. Come, let us bow before the God who made us.
Let every heart be opened to the Lord,
for we are all the people of his hand.

6. Here we shall meet the makers of the heavens,
creator of the mountains and the seas,
Lord of the stars and present to us now.

82  Lord Emmanuel come
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYmcQHjpgvg


Bright and clear, as a trumped blast,
a herald shout goes out:
drive a path through the wilderness,
a highway for our God:
Hills and mountains to be laid low,
the valley lifted high, ev’ry nation and land shall see
the glory of our God.

Refrain:
Come, Lord, to a world of longing,
listen to creation’s cry;
Answer nature’s deepest yearning;
manifest God’s reign.
Come, Lord, shining star of morning,
rise up, scatter death’s dark shade.
Come, Lord, mighty King Eternal!
Jesus, Emmanuel!

Take your stand on a lofty place,
Messenger of God.
Shout, O shout with a voice of joy,
cast all fear aside.
Say to all in Jerusalem, the city of the Lord:
‘Look around you, the hour has come:
See, here is your God.’

See, he comes in pow’r and might,
Master of all things.
See the Lord of Victories,
he the King of Kings.
Shepherd-like he will feed his flock
and take them to his arms,
Leading them to a place of rest,
Saviour, King and God.
