And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear  (enter keyboard)

and order all things mightily;
to us the path of knowledge show,
and teach us in her ways to go. (Refrain)

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)

Communion 
338 Magnificat (My soul proclaims)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15AccZAcdpk

Lyrics
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.

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.

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.

345 There is nothing told about this woman
http://www.mycatholicvoice.com/media/cl3X7p

There is nothing told about this woman,
but that she had once become engaged,
and an angel addressed her and said:
'You are blessed among all your kind.'

Refrain:
On this day all earth and all paradise
join in naming you happy and blessed;
Virgin Mary, blessed are you.

There is nothing told about this woman
but that she had brought into the world
in the land of Judea, her son;
for some shepherds have passed on this tale.

There is nothing told about this woman
but that she had searched for three long days
for her child who was busy elsewhere,
and her hearth then did not understand.

There is nothing told about this woman
but that she at Cana was a guest,
and that Jesus changed water to wine,
so that all might believe who he was.

There is nothing told about this woman
but that she was standing by the cross
when her son stretched his arms out on high,
and met death with a thief on each side.

There is nothing told about this woman
but that she was one in prayer with those
upon whom tongues of fire did descend,
and the Spirit baptised them with flame.

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
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
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria

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.
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria

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.
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria

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.
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
