http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKQIomtXXkc

The angel Gabriel from Heaven came,
His wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame;
“All hail,” said he, “thou lowly maiden Mary,
Most highly favoured lady,” Gloria!

“For known a blessèd mother thou shalt be,
All generations laud and honour thee,
Thy Son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold,
Most highly favoured lady,” Gloria!

Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head,
“To me be as it pleaseth God,” she said,
“My soul shall laud and magnify His holy Name.”
Most highly favoured lady, Gloria!

Of her, Emmanuel, the Christ, was born
In Bethlehem, all on a Christmas morn,
And Christian folk throughout the world will ever say

“Most highly favoured lady,” Gloria!

Mary, did you know?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXmfkFoX-PE

1. Mary, did you know that your baby boy
 will one day walk on water?
 Mary, did you know that your baby boy
 will save our sons and daughters?
 Did you know that your baby boy
 has come to make you new?
 This Child that you delivered
 will soon deliver you?

2. Mary, did you know that your baby boy
 will give sight to a blind man?
 Mary, did you know that your baby boy
 will calm a storm with His hand?
 Did you know that your baby boy
 has walked where angels trod?
 And when you kiss your little baby
 Youve kissed the face of God?
 Oh, Mary, did you know?

Bridge:

 The blind will see, the deaf will hear
 And the dead will live again.
 The lame will leap, the dumb will speak
 The praises of the Lamb.

 3. Mary, did you know
 That your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
 Mary, did you know that your baby boy
 will one day rule the nations?
 Did you know that your baby boy
 was Heaven’s perfect Lamb?
 And the  sleeping child you're holding
 Is the Great "I Am?"

As I kneel before you,
as I bow my head in prayer,
take this day, make it yours
and fill me with your love.

Ave Maria, gratia plena,
Dominus tecum,
benedicta tu.

All I have I give you,
Ev'ry dream and wish are yours;
mother of Christ, mother of mine,
present them to my Lord.

As I kneel before you,
and I see your smiling face,
ev'ry thought, ev'ry word
is lost in your embrace.

Like a sea without a shore,

love divine is boundless.

Time is now and evermore,

and his love surrounds us.

(CHORUS)

Maranatha! Maranatha! Maranatha!

Come lord Jesus, come!

So that we could all be free,

He appeared among us,

Blest are those who have not seen,

Yet believe his promise.

All our visions all our dreams,

Are but ghostly shadows

of the Radiant clarity

waiting at life's close.

Death, where is your victory?

Death, where is your sting?

Closer than the air we breath

is our risen King.

Refrain
In the day of the Lord, the sun will shine
like the dawn of eternal day.
All creation will rise to dance and sing
the glory of the Lord!

1. And on that day will justice triumph,
on that day will all be free:
free from want, free from fear, free to live!

2. Then shall the nations throng together
to the mountain of the Lord:
they shall walk in the light of the Lord!

3. And they shall beat their swords to plowshares;
there will be an end to war:
one in peace, one in love, one in God!

4. For Israel shall be delivered,
and the desert lands will bloom.
Say to all, “Do not fear. Here is your God!”

5. And on that day of Christ in glory,
God will wipe away our tears,
and the dead shall rise up from their graves!

6. O give us eyes to see your glory,
give us hearts to understand.
Let our ears hear your voice ‘til you come!
