December 27th, 2020 The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph (5 PM) Prelude: JOSEPH’S LULLABY Bart millard and Brown Bannister © 2005 Simpleville Music & Banistuci Music Go to sleep, my son, this manger for Your bed. You have a long road before You; Rest Your little head. Can You feel the weight of Your glory? Do You understand the price? Or does the Father guard Your heart for now so You can sleep tonight? Go to sleep, my son, go and chase Your dreams. This world can wait for one more moment. Go and sleep in peace. I believe the glory of Heaven is lying in my arms tonight. Lord, I ask that He, for just this moment, simply be my child. Go to sleep, my son. Baby, close Your eyes. Soon enough You'll save the day, But for now, dear child of mine, oh my Jesus, sleep tight. Gathering: ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH French Traditional Angels we have heard on high, sweetly singing o’er the plains, And the mountains in reply, echoing their joyous strains. (Refrain): Gloria in excelsis Deo! Gloria in excelsis Deo! Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong? Say what may the tidings be, which inspire your heav’nly song. (Refrain) Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing; Come, adore on bended knee, Christ, the Lord, the newborn King. (Refrain) GLORY TO GOD (Mass of St. Ann) Ed Bolduc © 2011 World Library Publications Glory! Glory to God in the highest. 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. Glory!! Glory to God in the highest. Glory! Glory to God in the highest, Responsorial Psalm: PSALM 128: BLEST ARE THOSE WHO LOVE YOU Marty Haugen © 1988 G.I.A. Publications, Inc. (Refrain): Blest are those who love you, happy those who follow you, blest are those who seek you, O God. Preparation of the Gifts: Love Goes On Bernadette Farrell © 2004, 2012. Published by OCP. Love is patient, love is kind, never ending, never ending; Slow to anger, rich in mercy love goes on beyond all time. Love is faithful, love is true, ever joyful and forgiving; Love endures when life is over, love is old and love is new. Act of Spiritual Communion My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, And I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, Come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen. WHAT CHILD IS THIS William C. Dix 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? (Refrain): This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing; Haste, haste to bring Him laud, The babe, the Son of Mary. Why lies he in such mean estate Where ox and lamb are feeding? Good Christians, fear; for sinners here The silent Word is pleading. (Refrain) So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh, Come peasant, King, to own Him; The King of kings salvation brings, Let loving hearts enthrone Him. (Refrain) ADORE Graham Kendrick and Martin Chalk © 2015 Common Hymnal Publishing You stepped down from heaven. Humbly, You came. God of all creation here with us. In a starlit manger, Emmanuel, light of the world here to save. Adore, Come let us adore, O come, let us adore Him! The Lord, worship Christ the Lord. Let all that is within us adore. Wise men bring their treasures, shepherds bow low, angel voices sing of peace on earth. What have I to offer to heaven's King? I will bring my life, my love, my all. Angels sing, praises ring to the newborn King. Peace on earth here with us, joy awakening. At Your feet, we fall. Recessional: HARK! THE HERALD ANGELS SING Felix Mendelssohn Hark! the herald angels sing, "Glory to the newborn King; Peace on earth, and mercy mild God and sinners reconciled!” Joyful, all you nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies; With the angelic host proclaim, "Christ is born in Bethlehem!" (Refrain): Hark! the herald angels sing, "Glory to the newborn King!" Christ, by highest heaven adored, Christ the everlasting Lord: Late in time behold him come, Offspring of the Virgin's womb. Veiled in flesh the Godhead see: Hail the incarnate Deity, Pleased as man with us to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel. (Refrain) Hail the heaven born Prince of Peace! Hail the Sun of Righteousness! Light and life to all he brings, Risen with healing in his wings. Mild he lays his glory by, Born that we no more may die, Born to raise us from the earth, Born to give us second birth.
