And give them vict-ry o’re the grave.

Offertory Hymn - 401 - O Come, Divine Messiah
O come, divine Messiah!
The world in silence waits the day
When hope shall sing its triumph,
And sadness flee away.
Dear Savior haste;
Come, come to earth,
Dispel the night and show your face,
And bid us hail the dawn of grace.
O come, divine Messiah!
The world in silence waits the day
When hope shall sing its triumph,
And sadness flee away.
O come, Desired of nations,
Whom priest and prophet long foretold,
Come break the captive fetters;
Redeem the long-lost fold.
Dear Savior haste;
Come, come to earth,
Dispel the night and show your face,
And bid us hail the dawn of grace.
O come, divine Messiah!
The world in silence waits the day
When hope shall sing its triumph,
And sadness flee away.
O come in peace and meekness,
For lowly will your cradle be;
Though clothed in human weakness
We shall your Godhead see.
Dear Savior haste;
Come, come to earth,
Dispel the night and show your face,
And bid us hail the dawn of grace.
O come, divine Messiah!
The world in silence waits the day
When hope shall sing its triumph,
And sadness flee away.

Communion Hymn - 940 - You Satisfy the Hungry Heart
You satisfy the hungry heart,
With gift of finest wheat;
Come give to us, O Saving Lord,
The Bread of Life to eat.
As when the shepherd calls his sheep,
They know and heed his voice;
So when you call your family Lord,
They follow and rejoice.With joyful lips, we sing to you,
Our praise and gratitude;
That you should count us worthy Lord,
To share this Heavenly food.Is not the cup we bless and share,
The blood of Christ outpoured?
Does not one cup, one loaf declare
Our Oneness in the Lord?The myst’ry of your presence, Lord,
No mortal tongue can tell;
Whom all the world cannot contain
Comes in our hearts to dwell.You give yourself to us, O Lord;
Then selfless let us be,
To serve each other in your name
In truth and charity.

Alma Redemptoris Mater
Alma Redemptóris Mater,
quae pérvia caeli porta manes,
Et stella maris,
succúrre cadénti
súrgere qui curat pópulo:
Tu quae genuísti,
natúra miránte,
tuum sanctum Genitórem:
Virgo prius ac postérius,
Gabriélis ab ore
sumens illud Ave,
peccatórum miserére.
Translation:
Kind mother of the Redeemer, who remain the open gate of heaven and the star of the sea: help your falling people who want to rise, you who bore your holy Parent, while nature marveled: a Virgin before and after, receiving that ‘Ave’ from Gabriel’s mouth, have mercy on [us] sinners.

Recessional - 418 - On Jordan’s Bank
On Jordan's bank, the Baptist's cry
Announces that the Lord is nigh;
Awake and hearken, for he brings
Glad tidings of the King of kings!
Then cleansed be ev’ry life from sin;
Make straight the way for God within;
And let each heart prepare a home
Where such a mighty Guest may come.
For You are our Salvation, Lord,
Our Refuge, and our great Reward.
Without Your grace we waste away,
Like flow’rs that wither and decay.
To heal the sick stretch out Your hand,
And bid the fallen sinner stand;
Shine forth and let Your light restore
Earth's own true loveliness once more.
All praise to You, eternal Son,
Whose advent has our freedom won,
Whom with the Father, we adore,
And Holy Spirit, evermore.
