Entrance 113 The Angel Gabriel

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 favored lady,” Gloria!

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

338 Magnificat (My soul proclaims) - Bernadette Farell -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15AccZAcdpk
(soloist-female)
1. My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord.
My spirit sings to God, my saving God,
Who on this day above all others favored me
And raised me up, a light for all to see.

(women/children)
2. Through me great deeds will God make manifest,
And all the earth will come to call me blest.
Unbounded love and mercy sure will I proclaim
For all who know and praise God's holy name.

(enter tenor/bass)
3. God's mighty arm, protector of the just,
Will guard the weak and raise them from the dust.
But mighty kings will swiftly fall from thrones corrupt.
The strong brought low, the lowly lifted up.

4. Soon will the poor and hungry of the earth
Be richly blest, be given greater worth.
And Israel, as once foretold to Abraham,
Will live in peace throughout the promised land.

5. 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.

Final  112 O come O come Emmanuel
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxPynSu2LGE

O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear

Refrain:
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

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. (Refrain)

O come, O come, Thou Lord of might,
Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai's height,
In ancient times did'st give the Law,
In cloud, and majesty and awe. (Refrain)

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 (Refrain)

O come, Thou Key of David, come,
And open wide our heavenly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery. (Refrain)

O come, Thou dayspring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows put to flight. (Refrain)

O come, desire of nations, bind
in one the hearts of humankind,
bid every sad division cease,
and be thyself our Prince of Peace. (Refrain)

Optional communion:

Mary, did you know (by Lowry, Mark; Greene, Buddy)
sheet music:

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've delivered, will soon deliver you.

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, you have kissed the face of God.

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.

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 is heaven's perfect Lamb?
This sleeping child you're holding is the great I am.

(note to singers: if the verses are too difficult, just learn the refrain and I can sing the verses as Cantor. - May) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGzmAwfyYPw

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!

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)

lift up your voice O Jerusalem,
and say to the people of God's own land,
'Behold, behold your God!' (refrain)

holding his lambs in his arms,
keeping his flock so close to his heart

All who are thirsty
And all who are weak
Come to the fountain
Dip your heart in the stream of life


Let the pain and the sorrow
Be washed away
In the waves of His mercy
As deep cries out to deep, we sing


Come, Lord Jesus, come
Come, Lord Jesus, come
Come, Lord Jesus, come
Come, Lord Jesus, come


All who are thirsty
And all who are weak
Come to the fountain
Dip your heart in the stream of life


Let the pain and the sorrow
Be washed away
In the waves of His mercy
As deep cries out to deep, we sing


Holy Spirit, come
Holy Spirit, come
Holy Spirit, come
Holy Spirit, come
