Benedictus
God in all your tender compassion
The dawn from on high, it will break on us
Shining on those living in shadow
Guiding our feet into the way of peace
You will guide our feet into peace
For Unto Us a Child is Born
For unto us a Child is born
Unto us a Son is given
And the government shall be upon His shoulder
And His name shall be called
Wonderful Counsellor
The Mighty God, the Everlasting Father
The Prince of Peace, the Everlasting Father
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light
Those who dwell in the land of deep darkness
On them has light shown
For to us a child is born
To us a Son is given
And the government shall be upon His shoulder
And His name shall be called
Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace
The Mighty God, the Everlasting Father
The Prince of Peace, the Everlasting Father
For unto us a Child is born
Gloria
Gloria in excelsis Deo
et in terra pax hominibus bonæ voluntatis.
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
Domine Fili Unigenite, Iesu Christe,
Domine Deus, Agnus Dei, Filius Patris,
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.
Quoniam tu solus Sanctus, tu solus Dominus,
tu solus Altissimus, Iesu Christe,
cum Sancto Spiritu: in gloria Dei Patris.
Amen.
If the Fields are Parched
If the fields are parched
And the trees are felled
Will the rocks cry aloud on their own
If the birds are starved
And the beasts are killed
Will the bones in the dust lift a song
Have mercy, Lord, have mercy, Lord
Forgive our broken ways
Have mercy, Lord, have mercy, Lord
Renew the world you made
As the oceans rise
And the wells run dry
Do we care if disaster is near
If our children starve
Will they cry to God
Will they curse us for closing our ears
Have mercy, Lord…
Still a day will come
When the Lord returns
And the earth will be perfect again
No more greed or war
No more tooth and claw
For the wolf and the lamb will be friends
Have mercy, Lord…
Light of the World
The world waits for a miracle
The heart longs for a little bit of hope
Oh come, oh come, Emmanuel
A child prays for peace on Earth
And she’s calling out from a sea of hurt
Oh come, oh come, Emmanuel
And can you hear the angels singing
Glory to the light of the world
Glory, the light of the world is here
The drought breaks with the tears of a mother
A baby’s cry is the sound of love
Come down, come down, Emmanuel
He is the song for the suffering
He is Messiah, the Prince of Peace has come
He has come, Emmanuel
Glory to the light of the world…
For all who wait, for all who hunger
For all who’ve prayed, for all who wonder
Behold your King, behold Messiah
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Glory to the light of the world…
Behold your King, behold Messiah
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
The world waits for the miracle
The heart longs for a little bit of hope
Oh come, oh come Emmanuel
Mary’s Song
My soul magnifies the Lord
My spirit rejoices in God
My Savior has seen his servant in need
And behold the great things He has done
He scatters the proud and rich
He lifts up the humble and weak
The kings of the earth, He casts from their thrones
And the hungry He welcomes to feast
Oh, behold, my Savior has come
And my soul will tell of His praise
For He Who is strong has come to the weak
And, at last, He will reign as our King of Peace
From now to the end of time
The nations will know me as blessed
For God has made new His promise of love
And mercy through Abraham’s seed
Oh, behold my Savior has come…
O Come, All You Unfaithful
O come, all you unfaithful
Come, weak and unstable
Come, know you are not alone
O come, barren and waiting ones
Weary of praying, come
See what your God has done
Christ is born, Christ is born
Christ is born for you
O come, bitter and broken
Come with fears unspoken
Come, taste of His perfect love
O come, guilty and hiding ones
There is no need to run
See what your God has done
Christ is born…
He’s the Lamb who was given
Slain for our pardon
His promise is peace
For those who believe
So come, though you have nothing
Come, He is the offering
Come, see what your God has done
Christ is born…
The First Noel
The first Noel the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter’s night that was so deep
Noel, born is the King of Israel
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night
Noel, born is the King of Israel
