Third Day of Simbang Gabi
Let heaven rejoice and earth
be glad; let all creation sing.
Let children proclaim through
ev’ry land: “Hosanna to our King!”
Sound the trumpet into
the night; the day of
the Lord is near.
Wake his people,
Lift your voice,
proclaim it to the world.
Let heaven rejoice and earth
be glad; let all creation sing.
Let children proclaim through
ev’ry land: “Hosanna to our King!”
Rise in splendor;
shake off your sleep;
put on your robes of joy.
And in the morning you
shall see the glory of the Lord.
Let heaven rejoice and earth
be glad; let all creation sing.
Let children proclaim through
ev’ry land: “Hosanna to our King!”
Raise your voices, be not afraid.
Proclaim it in every land.
Christ has died, but He has risen;
He will come again.
Let heaven rejoice and earth
be glad; let all creation sing.
Let children proclaim through
ev’ry land: “Hosanna to our King!”
Psalmody
PSALMODY
Ant. 1 Our God will come from Lebanon; he shall be as brilliant as the sun.
Psalm 119:145-152
XIX (Koph)
A meditation on God’s law
I call with all my heart; Lord, hear me, *
I will keep your commands.
I call upon you, save me *
and I will do your will.
I rise before dawn and cry for help, *
I hope in your word.
My eyes watch through the night *
to ponder your promise.
In your love hear my voice, O Lord; *
give me life by your decrees.
Those who harm me unjustly draw near: *
they are far from your law.
But you, O Lord, are close: *
your commands are truth.
Long have I known that your will *
is established 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.
Psalm Prayer
Save us by the power of your hand, Father, for our enemies have ignored your words. May the fire of your word consume our sins and its brightness illumine our hearts.
Ant. Our God will come from Lebanon; he shall be as brilliant as the sun.
Ant. 2 May the Holy One from heaven come down like gentle rain; may the earth burst into blossom and bear the tender Savior.
Canticle: Wisdom 9:1-6, 9-11
Lord, give me wisdom
God of my fathers, Lord of mercy, *
you who have made all things by your word
and in your wisdom have established man *
to rule the creatures produced by you,
to govern the world in holiness and justice, *
and to render judgment in integrity of heart:
Give me Wisdom, the attendant at your throne, *
and reject me not from among your children;
for I am your servant, the son of your handmaid, †
a man weak and short-lived *
and lacking in comprehension of judgment and of laws.
Indeed, though one be perfect among the sons of men, †
if Wisdom, who comes from you, be not with him, *
he shall be held in no esteem.
Now with you is Wisdom, who knows your works *
and was present when you made the world;
who understands what is pleasing in your eyes *
and what is conformable with your commands.
Send her forth from your holy heavens *
and from your glorious throne dispatch her
that she may be with me and work with me, *
that I may know what is your pleasure.
For she knows and understands all things, †
and will guide me discreetly in my affairs *
and safeguard me by her glory.
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.
Ant. May the Holy One from heaven come down like gentle rain; may the earth burst into blossom and bear the tender Savior.
Ant. 3 Israel, prepare yourself to meet the Lord, for he is coming.
Psalm 117
Praise for God’s loving compassion
O praise the Lord, all you nations, *
acclaim him all you peoples!
Strong is his love for us; *
he is faithful 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.
Psalm Prayer
God our Father, may all nations and peoples praise you. May Jesus, who is called faithful and true and who lives with you eternally, possess our hearts for ever.
Ant. Israel, prepare yourself to meet the Lord, for he is coming.
1st Reading
Gen 49:2, 8-10
A reading from the Book of Genesis
Jacob called his sons and said to them:
“Assemble and listen, sons of Jacob,
listen to Israel, your father.
“You, Judah, shall your brothers praise
—your hand on the neck of your enemies;
the sons of your father shall bow down to you.
Judah, like a lion’s whelp,
you have grown up on prey, my son.
He crouches like a lion recumbent,
the king of beasts—who would dare rouse him?
The scepter shall never depart from Judah,
or the mace from between his legs,
While tribute is brought to him,
and he receives the people’s homage.”
Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm
℟. (see 7) Justice shall flourish in his time, and fullness of peace for ever.
O God, with your judgment endow the king,
and with your justice, the king’s son;
He shall govern your people with justice
and your afflicted ones with judgment.
℟. Justice shall flourish in his time, and fullness of peace for ever.
The mountains shall yield peace for the people,
and the hills justice.
He shall defend the afflicted among the people,
save the children of the poor.
℟. Justice shall flourish in his time, and fullness of peace for ever.
Justice shall flower in his days,
and profound peace, till the moon be no more.
May he rule from sea to sea,
and from the River to the ends of the earth.
℟. Justice shall flourish in his time, and fullness of peace for ever.
May his name be blessed forever;
as long as the sun his name shall remain.
In him shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed;
all the nations shall proclaim his happiness.
℟. Justice shall flourish in his time, and fullness of peace for ever.
Alleluia, Alleluia.
O Wisdom of our God Most High,
guiding creation with power and love:
come to teach us the path of knowledge!
Alleluia, Alleluia.

Jesse the father of David the king.
David became the father of Solomon,
whose mother had been the wife of Uriah.

may our sins be wiped away.
Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ.
Nicene Creed
I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of
the Virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified
under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right
hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the
Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son
is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in One, Holy,
Catholic and Apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism
for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to
the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come.
Amen.

Gospel Canticle
Ant. Believe me, the kingdom of God is at hand: I tell you solemnly, your Savior will not delay his coming.
Canticle of Zechariah
Luke 1:68-79
The Messiah and his forerunner
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.
Ant. Believe me, the kingdom of God is at hand: I tell you solemnly, your Savior will not delay his coming.
People, look East.
The time is near of the
crowning of the year.
Make your house fair
as you are able.
Trim the hearth
and set the table.
People, look East, and sing
today: Love, the Guest,
is on the way.
Furrows, be glad,
though earth is bare.
One more seed is planted there;
Give up your strength the
seed to nourish, that in course
the flow’r may flourish.
People, look East, and sing
today: Love, the Rose,
is on the way.
Stars, keep the watch
when night is dim.
One more light the bowl
shall brim.
Shining beyond the
frosty weather,
bright as sun and moon together.
People, look East, and sing
today: Love, the Star,
is on the way.
Angels, announce on this
great feast: Him who cometh
from the East.
Set ev’ry peak and valley
humming with the word,
the Lord is coming.
People, look East, and sing
today: Love, the Lord,
is on the way.
