Canticle of Zechariah
Luke 1:68-79
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel;

he has come to his people and set them free.
He has raised up for us a mighty savior,
born of the house of his servant David.
Through his holy prophets he promised of old
that he would save us from our enemies,
from the hands of all who hate us.
He promised to show mercy to our fathers
and to remember his holy covenant.
This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham:
to set us free from the hands of our enemies,
free to worship him without fear,
holy and righteous in his sight
all the days of our life.
You, my child, shall be called the prophet of the
Most High;
for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way,
to give his people knowledge of salvation
by the forgiveness of their sins.
In the tender compassion of our God
the dawn from on high shall break upon us,
to shine on those who dwell in darkness and the
shadow of death,
and to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the
Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for
ever. Amen.
Canticle of Mary
Luke 1:46-55
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,

my spirit rejoices in God my Savior
for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.
From this day all generations will call me blessed:

the Almighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his Name.
He has mercy on those who fear him
in every generation
He has shown the strength of his arm,
he has scattered the proud in their conceit.
He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,
and has lifted up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich he has sent away empty.
He has come to the help of his servant Israel
for he has remembered his promise of mercy,
the promise he made to our fathers,
to Abraham and his children for ever.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now,
and will be for ever. Amen.
Gospel Canticle
Luke 2: 29-32
Ant. Protect us, Lord, as we stay awake;

watch over us as we sleep, that awake,
we may keep watch with Christ,
and asleep, rest in his peace.
Lord, now you let your servant go in peace;
your word has been fulfilled:
my own eyes have seen the salvation
which you have prepared in the sight of every
people:
a light to reveal you to the nations
and the glory of your people Israel.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now,
and will be for ever. Amen.

From heav'n's all gracious King.

To hear the angels sing.

With peaceful wings unfurl'd;

Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hov'ring wing,
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
3. O ye, beneath life's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow!
Look now for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
O rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing.

And soon Miss Fannie Bright
Was seated by my side;
The horse was lean and lank,
Misfortune seem'd his lot,
he got into a drifted bank,
And we, we got upsot.(Hey!)
3. Now the ground is white,
Go it while you're young,
Take the girls tonight,
And sing this sleighing song;
Just get a bob tailed nag,
Two forty for his speed,
Then hitch him to an open sleigh,
And crack! you'll take the lead.(Hey!)

Let men their song employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

And make the nations prove
The glories of his righteousness,
And wonders of his love,
And wonders of his love,
And wonders, and wonders of his love.

I believe the children are our future;
Teach them well and let them lead the way.
Show them all the beauty they possess inside.
Give them the sense of pride,
to make it easier;
66
Let the children's laughter

remind us how we used to be.
Everybody's searching for a hero;
People need someone to look up to.
I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs.
A lonely place to be,
and so I learned to depend on me.
Refrain: I decided long ago
never to walk in anyone's shadow.
If I fail if I succeed
at least I lived as I believed.
No matter what they take from me,
they can't take away my dignity.
Because of greatest love of all
is happening to me.
I found the greatest love of all inside of me.
The greatest love of all is easy to achieve.
Learning to love yourself
it is the greatest love of all.
(Repeat Ist stanza)
Coda: And if by chance that special place
that you've been dreaming of
leads you to a lonely place,
find your strength in love.

"Cast your burdens upon me
those who are heavily laden.
Come to me all of you who are tired
of carrying heavy load.
For the yoke I will give you is easy
and my burden is light.
Come to me and I will give you rest."

And you have no one that you can hold on to.

And you'll see hope and there's no need to run.

As little children
we would dream of Christmas morn
And all the gifts and toys we knew wed find,
But we never realize
a baby born one blessed night
gave us the greatest gift of our life.
And we are the reason that He gave His life
We are the reason that He suffered and died.
To a world that was lost
He gave all He could give
125
To show us the reason to live.

As the years went by
we learn more about gifts,
The giving of ourselrves and what that means
On a dark and cloudy day
a Man heard crying in the rain
because of love, because of love.
coda: I finlly found the reason for living
Its in giving every part of my heart to Him.
In all that I do, every word thaty I say
Ill be giving my life just for Him,
for Him.
He is my reason to live.

AS WE PREPARE

As we prepare for the coming of the Lord,

PRAISE TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST

Holy, holy, holy Lord,

and forgive us, our trespasses.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done,

won't you grant us your peace,

O SACRAMENT MOST HOLY 2

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel;

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,

From this day all generations will call me blessed:

Ant. Protect us, Lord, as we stay awake;

ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH

2. The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes,

DECK THE HALLS

GIVE LOVE ON CHRISTMASDAY

Has room for your love underneath his tree.

HARK! THE HERALD ANGELS SING

IT CAME UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR

O'er all the weary world:

Jingle bells! jingle bells!

Jingle all the way!

JOY TO THE WORLD

LITTLE DRUMMER BOY

O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL

O COME, O COME EMMANUEL

And orders all things far and nigh

O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM

Where meek souls will receive Him still,

RUDOLF, THE RED-NOSED REINDEER

Then one foggy Christmas eve

1. We three kings of Orient are;

WHAT CHILD IS THIS

3. So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,

we offer you attempts;

INTO YOUR HANDS

far from my prayers, far from my cry?

LIFT YOUR EYES TO THE CROSS

LORD, WHO THROUGHOUT THESE FORTY DAYS

Its branches bear unfailing fruit

O SACRED HEAD SURROUNDED

1. The cross you'll give is the life I'll live

through every single moment of my life

taste its sweetness,

never more to let go your embrace....

Refrain: I can't forget the day you called in this life

to be a part of you in all that's to be done.

WERE YOU THERE

1.Were you there, when they crucified my Lord?

Were you there, when they crucified my Lord?

Refrain: Oh....Sometimes it causes me to tremble.

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

WHEN I SURVEY THE WONDROUS CROSS

1. When I survey the wondrous cross,

on which the Prince of Glory died.

My richest gain I count but loss,

and pour contempt on all my pride.

CHRIST THE LORD IS RISEN TODAY

1. Christ the Lord is risen today, A -lleluia!
