Entrance 329 O Mary, when our God chose you
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 makes 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)

Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to people
of good will.
We praise you,
we bless you,
we adore you,
we glorify you,
we give you thanks for your great glory,
Lord God, heavenly King,
O God, almighty Father.
Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son,
Lord God, Lamb of God,
Son of the Father,
you take away the sins of the world,
have mercy on us;
you take away the sins of the world,
receive our prayer;
you are seated at the right hand
of the Father,
have mercy on us.
For you alone are the Holy One,
you alone are the Lord,
you alone are the Most High,
Jesus Christ,
with the Holy Spirit,
in the glory of God the Father.
Amen.

Offertory 145 What child is this
(audio track on Whatsapp group)
What Child is this, who laid to rest,
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
come, greet the infant Lord,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear; for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.
Nails, spear, shall pierce Him through,
The cross be borne, for me, for you:
Hail, hail, the Word made flesh,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,
Come peasant, king, to own Him.
The King of kings salvation brings;
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
Raise, raise, the song on high,
The Virgin sings her lullaby:
Joy joy for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
570s Holy, Holy, Holy (The Revised Gathering Mass)
Holy, Holy, Holy Lord,
Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts.
Heaven and earth, Heaven and earth
are full of your glory, Lord God of hosts.
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest.
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest.
Blessed, blessed is he who comes,
Blessed, blessed is he who comes,
Blessed is he, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest
Mem Acc.: 571b Memorial Acc. 2 (The Revised Gathering Mass)
When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup,
we proclaim your Death, O Lord,
we proclaim your Death, O Lord,
until you come again.

144 In the bleak midwinter
In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,
earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
in the bleak midwinter, long ago.
Our God, heaven cannot hold him, nor earth sustain;
heaven and earth shall flee away when he comes to reign.
In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed
the Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ.
Enough for him, whom Cherubim worship night and day,
breastful of milk, and a mangerful of hay:
enough for him, whom angels fall down before,
the ox and ass and camel which adore.
Angels and archangels may have gathered there,
cherubim and seraphim thronged the air;
but only his mother in her maiden bliss,
worshiped the beloved with a kiss.
What can I give him, poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;
if I were a Wise Man, I would do my part;
yet what I can I give him: give my heart.
338 Magnificat (My Soul Proclaims) - optional
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.
