6th Day Simbang Gabi
    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.

Gospel
Lk 1:39-45
✠ A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke
Mary set out in those days
   and traveled to the hill country in haste
   to a town of Judah,
   where she entered the house of Zechariah
   and greeted Elizabeth.
When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting,
   the infant leaped in her womb,
   and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit,
   cried out in a loud voice and said,
   “Most blessed are you among women,
   and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
And how does this happen to me,
   that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears,
   the infant in my womb leaped for joy.
Blessed are you who believed
   that what was spoken to you by the Lord
   would be fulfilled.”
At the end of the Gospel, the Deacon, or the Priest, acclaims:
The Gospel of the Lord.
All reply:
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Then he kisses the book, saying quietly:
Through the words of the Gospel
may our sins be wiped away.
Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ.

    We proclaim your Death, 
O Lord,
and profess your Resurrection
until you come again.
    
    Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name;
Thy kingdom come, 
thy will be done on earth 
as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, 
as we forgive those who 
trespass against us; (Hmm)
and lead us not into temptation, 
but deliver us, 
deliver us from evil. 
    
    For the kingdom, 
the power and the glory are yours now and forever.
