Communion hymns: 
329 O Mary when our God chose you
http://youtu.be/8XpbNlauKas

O Mary, when our God chose you
to bring his dear Son to birth,
a new creation made in you
gave joy to all the earth.

Refrain:
Alleluia, alleluia,
Alleluia, alleluia
a new creation made in you
gave joy to all the earth.

When he was born on Christmas night
and music made the rafters ring,
the stars were dancing with delight;
now all God's children sing. (Refrain)

One winter's night, a heap of straw
becomes a place where ages meet
when kings come knocking at the door
and kneeling at your feet. (Refrain)

In you, our God confounds the strong
and mikes the crippled dance with joy
and to our barren world belong
his mother and her boy. (Refrain)

In empty streets and broken hearts
you call to mind what he has done;
where all his loving kindness starts
in sending you a son. (Refrain)

And Mary, while we stand with you,
may once again his  Spirit come,
and all his brothers follow you
to reach our Father's home. (Refrain)


343 Where are you bound,Mary?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BIUiC9eaG0 (start at 7:30)

(Refrain)
Where are you bound, Mary, Mary ?
Where are you bound, Mother of God ?

Beauty is a dove sitting on a sunlit bough, b
beauty is a prayer without the need of words.
Words are more than sounds, falling off an empty tongue:
let it be according to his word. (Refrain)

Mary heard the word spoken in her inmost heart;
Mary bore the word and held him in her arms.
Sorrow she has known, seeing him upon the cross
-greater joy to see him rise again.  (Refrain)

Where are we all bound, carrying the Word of God ?
Time and place are ours to make his glory known.
Mary bore him first, we will tell the whole wide world ;
Let it be according to his word. (Refrain)

Final hymn: 366 Holy Virgin, by God's Decree
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSgRLaTSAdM

Holy Virgin by God’s decree
You were called eternally
That he could give his son to our race
 Mary, we praise hail full of grace

Refrain:
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria

By your faith and loving accord
As the handmaid of the Lord
You undertook God’s plan to embrace
Mary, we thank you, hail full of grace

Joy to God you gave and expressed,
of all women none so blessed,
when in mankind your Son took his place,
Mary, we love you, hail full of grace.


Refuge for your children so weak,
sure protection all can seek.
Problems of life you help us to face.
Mary, we trust you, hail full of grace.


To our needy world of today
love and beauty you portray,
showing the path to Christ we must trace.
Mary, our mother, hail full of grace.
