O Come, O Come Emmanuel

O come, o come, Emmanuel, and ransom captive Israel,
that mourns in lonely exile here until the Son of God appear.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to you, O Israel!

O come, O wisdom from on high who ordered all things mightily
to us the path of knowledge show and teach us in her ways to go.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to you, O Israel!

O come, Thou dayspring from on high, and cheer us by your drawing nigh;
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night, and death’s dark shadow put to flight.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to you, O Israel!






Psalmody

PSALMODY

Ant. 1 Bethlehem in Judah’s land, how glorious your future! The king who will rule my people comes from you.

Psalm 92
Praise of God the creator




It is good to give thanks to the Lord, *
to make music to your name, O Most High,
to proclaim your love in the morning *
and your truth in the watches of the night,
on the ten-stringed lyre and the lute, *
with the murmuring sound of the harp.

Your deeds, O Lord, have made me glad; *
for the work of your hands I shout with joy.
O Lord, how great are your works! *
How deep are your designs!
The foolish man cannot know this *
and the fool cannot understand.

Though the wicked spring up like grass *
and all who do evil thrive:
they are doomed to be eternally destroyed. *
But you, Lord, are eternally on high.
See how your enemies perish; *
all doers of evil are scattered.

To me you give the wild-ox’s strength; *
you anoint me with the purest oil.
My eyes looked in triumph on my foes; *
my ears heard gladly of their fall.
The just will flourish like the palm-tree *
and grow like a Lebanon cedar.

Planted in the house of the Lord, *
they will flourish in the courts of our God,
still bearing fruit when they are old, *
still full of sap, still green,
to proclaim that the Lord is just. *
In him, my rock, there is no wrong

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

Take our shame away from us, Lord, and make us rejoice in your saving works. May all who have been chosen by your Son always abound in works of faith, hope, and love in your service.

Ant. Bethlehem in Judah’s land, how glorious your future! The king who will rule my people comes from you.

Ant. 2 Lift up your heads and see; your redemption is now at hand.

Canticle: Ezekiel 36:24-28
The Lord will renew his people




I will take you away from among the nations,
gather you from all the foreign lands, *
and bring you back to your own land.

I will sprinkle clean water upon you
to cleanse you from all your impurities, *
and from all your idols I will cleanse you.

I will give you a new heart *
and place a new spirit within you,
taking from your bodies your stony hearts *
and giving you natural hearts.

I will put my spirit within you
and make you live by my statutes, *
careful to observe my decrees.

You shall live in the land I gave your fathers;
you shall be my people, *
and I will be your God.

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. Lift up your heads and see; your redemption is now at hand.

Ant. 3 The day has come at last when Mary will bring forth her firstborn Son.

Psalm 8
The majesty of the Lord and man’s dignity




How great is your name, O Lord our God, *
through all the earth!

Your majesty is praised above the heavens; *
on the lips of children and of babes
you have found praise to foil your enemy, *
to silence the foe and the rebel.

When I see the heavens, the work of your hands, *
the moon and the stars which you arranged,
what is man that you should keep him in mind, *
mortal man that you care for him?

Yet you have made him little less than a god; *
with glory and honor you crowned him,
gave him power over the works of your hands, *
put all things under his feet.

All of them, sheep and cattle, *
yes, even the savage beasts,
birds of the air, and fish *
that make their way through the waters.

How great is your name, O Lord our God *
through all the earth!

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

Almighty Lord, how wonderful is your name. You have made every creature subject to you; make us worthy to give you service.

Ant. The day has come at last when Mary will bring forth her firstborn Son.

1st Reading

2 Sm 7:1-5, 8b-12, 14a, 16

A reading from second Book of Samuel

When King David was settled in his palace,
   and the LORD had given him rest from his enemies on every side,
   he said to Nathan the prophet,
“Here I am living in a house of cedar,
   while the ark of God dwells in a tent!”
Nathan answered the king,
   “Go, do whatever you have in mind,
   for the LORD is with you.”
But that night the LORD spoke to Nathan and said:
   “Go, tell my servant David, ‘Thus says the LORD:
   Should you build me a house to dwell in?

“‘It was I who took you from the pasture
   and from the care of the flock
   to be commander of my people Israel.
I have been with you wherever you went,
   and I have destroyed all your enemies before you.
And I will make you famous like the great ones of the earth.
I will fix a place for my people Israel;
   I will plant them so that they may dwell in their place
   without further disturbance.
Neither shall the wicked continue to afflict them as they did of old,
   since the time I first appointed judges over my people Israel.
I will give you rest from all your enemies.
The LORD also reveals to you
   that he will establish a house for you.
And when your time comes and you rest with your ancestors,
   I will raise up your heir after you, sprung from your loins,
   and I will make his Kingdom firm.
I will be a father to him,
   and he shall be a son to me.
Your house and your Kingdom shall endure forever before me;
   your throne shall stand firm forever.’”

The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm

℟. (2a) For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.

The favors of the LORD I will sing forever;
   through all generations my mouth shall proclaim your faithfulness.
For you have said, “My kindness is established forever;”
   in heaven you have confirmed your faithfulness.

℟. For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.

“I have made a covenant with my chosen one,
   I have sworn to David my servant:
Forever will I confirm your posterity
   and establish your throne for all generations.”

℟. For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.

“He shall say of me, ‘You are my father,
   my God, the rock, my savior.’
Forever I will maintain my kindness toward him,
   and my covenant with him stands firm.”

℟. For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.



Alleluia, Alleluia.

O Radiant Dawn,
splendor of eternal ligt, sun of justice:
come and shine on those who dwell in daarkness and in the shadow of death.

Alleluia, Alleluia.



Gospel

Lk 1:67-79

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke

Zechariah his father, filled with the Holy Spirit, prophesied, saying:

“Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel;
   for 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 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 hand 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.”

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.

The Gospel of the Lord.
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.






Emmanuel
Ma. Lourdes Evidente-Domingo

He is coming soon, tell all
the earth be filled with joy.
In darkness, there’ll be light
where sadness dwells
there shall be hope.
For the Virgin shall give
birth to a Son,
He shall be called Emmanuel.

Prince of Peace. Mighty God.
Lord and Savior, God with us!
Prince of Peace. Mighty God.
Lord and Savior, Emmanuel.






The Song of Jesus Christ
John Sheehan

Deep within us,
shared among us,
may we ever keep the mind and heart of Jesus Christ.

Though He was at one
with God, He did not think
He should retain equality
with God, with God.

Deep within us,
shared among us,
may we ever keep the mind and heart of Jesus Christ.

He gave Himself,
He emptied Himself,
and took the nature of a slave,
to be a man like us, like us.

Deep within us,
shared among us,
may we ever keep the mind and heart of Jesus Christ.

He became more humble yet,
for He accepted even death
A death upon a cross, a cross.

Deep within us,
shared among us,
may we ever keep the mind and heart of Jesus Christ.

Therefore God raised Him
to the heights and gave Him
the name above all names,
in heaven and on earth,
on earth.

Deep within us,
shared among us,
may we ever keep the mind and heart of Jesus Christ.

So at His name
all knees should bend,
and every tongue proclaim
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
is Lord.

Deep within us,
shared among us,
may we ever keep the mind and heart of Jesus Christ.
