Final 329 O Mary, when our God chose you
Entrance 112 O Come, O come Emmanuel
1. 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.
2. 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)
3. 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)
4. 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)
5. 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)
6. 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)

Offertory 113 The Angel Gabriel
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GF2BzUDeTkY (lyrics in video details)
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!

338 Magnificat (My soul proclaims) - Bernadette Farell -
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.
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)
