El desembre congelat Confús es retira

Abril de flors coronat, Tot e món admira.

Quan en un jardi d'amor Neix una di vina flor.

D'una ro, ro, ro, d'una sa, sa, sa, D'una roh, d'una sah, d'una rosa bella,

Fecunda y comcella.

Cold December’s winds were stilled In the month of snowing. Though the world with dark was filled, Springtime’s hope was growing. Then a rose-tree blossomed new: One sweet flower upon it grew; Ah, the rose, Ah, the rose-tree blooming, Sweet the air perfuming.

Aliyoyaleta yeye mwenyewe.

Hoyahe! Alleluia! Hoyahe! Let us rejoice this day! Let us praise the name of the Lord!In David’s city he was born, Jesus Christ, the Son of God.Let us remember the love of Jesus that he hath brought unto us.

Bring a Torch, Jeanette Isabella Traditional French carol arr. Douglas Wagner

Colin McGuire, violin

Infant Holy, Infant Lowly Traditional Polish carol arr. Evelyn R. Larter

James Prindiville, alto saxophone

Midnight stars make bright the skies, Bethlehem in slumber lies: glist’ning heav’n sends forth a great light, shepherds see a wondrous sight!

Angel ranks in chorus sing. Silken sounds from heaven ring. Frightened shepherds hear them say: “Christ is born on earth today!”

Glory be to God on high, blest are all beneath the sky. Midnight slumber lies o’er all, one lone bright lamp lights the stall.

Choose old clothing, wrap him warmly, manger cradle be. Born to save us from our sin, Word made flesh, our lives to win, came to earth from heaven’s throne, mortals’ sin to bear alone.

Glory be to God on high, blest are all beneath the sky.

Lux fulgebit * hodie super nos: quia natus est nobis Dominus: et vocabitur Admirabilis, Deus, Princeps pacis, Pater futuri saeculi:

cuius regni non erit finis.

Dominus regnavit, decorem indutus est: indutus est Dominus fortitudinem, et praecinxit se.

Radiant light will shine upon us today, for the Lord is born unto us. He shall be called Wonderful God, Prince of Peace, Father of the world to come.

His reign shall have no end.

The Lord reigns, he is enrobed with majesty; the Lord is clothed with strength, he has girded himself.

and his name shall be called the Angel of Great Counsel.

Gospel Response Angels We Have Heard on High

Text: attr. Ambrose of Milan, 340-397; Martin Luther, 1483-1546; tr. hymnal version Les anges dans nos compagnes; French, c. 18th c.; tr. from Crown of Jesus Music, London, 1862.

Tune: GLORIA, 7777 with refrain; French traditional.

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke (7:30) 2:15-20 They went in haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger.

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to John (9:30; Noon; 4:30) 1:1-18 And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we saw his glory.

(9:30; Noon) Personent Hodie Piæ Cantiones; Dorian mode, 1582 arr. Lara Hoggard (1915-2007)

Personent hodie voces puerulae laudantes jucunde qui nobis est natus

summo Deo datus, et de Virgineo ventre procreatus.

In mundo nascitur, pannis involvitur, praesepi ponitur stabulo brutorum,

rector supernorum. (Perdidit spolia princeps infernorum!)

Omnes clericuli pariter pueri cantent ut angeli, advenisti mundo:

“Gloria in excelsis Deo!”

Let youthful voices resound today joyfully praising Him who is born for us who is given unto us by the most high God, and brought forth from a Virgin. He is born in the world, is wrapped in swaddling cloths, and placed in a manger in a stable of beasts. He is the ruler over all things. (The Prince of Darkness thus has lost his prey!) Let all the young choristers now sing as did the angels, praising Him who has come into the world: “Glory to God in the Highest!”

Intercessions

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.

Shepherd’s Joy: A Celtic Christmas Celebration Mark Hayes

One quiet night when all was still, I saw a wondrous sight while tending sheep upon a hill one peaceful winter’s night:

for in the sky there shone a light so glorious and bright. Behold, an angel did appear upon that special night.

Glory to God! Glory to God on high! Messiah has come! Love has transformed this night!

Then angels quickly filled the sky with glory all around, praising God with joyful voice; I listened to their sound.

Then all the shepherds went to where the Baby could be found, then bowed in homage to the King, their faces on the ground.

Ding, Dong, Merrily On High arr. Richard Price The Basilica Brass Ensemble

For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government shall be upon His shoulder,

and His Name shall be called Wonderful! Counselor! the Mighty God! the Everlasting Father! the Prince of Peace!

Text: Tune:

Priest: It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation, always and everywhere to give you thanks, Lord, holy Father, almighty and eternal God. For in the mystery of the Word made flesh a new light of your glory has shone upon the eyes of our mind, so that, as we recognize in him God made visible, we may be caught up through him in love of things invisible. And so, with the Angels and Archangels, with Thrones and Dominions, and with all the hosts and Powers of heaven, we sing the hymn of your glory, as without end we acclaim:

Meditation

4:30 A Brazilian Carol Traditional Brazilian carol arr. Ken Litton

Sleep peacefully without a fear, sweet Jesus, this night. In darkness deep, the donkeys sleep; the silent star shines bright.

Your mother can’t rock a cradle crafted for kings, but only wrap You tenderly in gentle songs she sings.

With Joseph always by her side, so faithful in love;

she whispers there a tender prayer Your Father hears above. Poor shepherds receive with joy the message they heard:

the Father’s will has now been done, fulfilled in this, His Word.

The three wise kings who wind their way to Bethlehem’s stall bring gold and myrrh, and frankincense to crown You, Lord of all.

Sleep on through the quiet night, oh, sweet Savior, mine. Though this bright night lose all its light, Your Morning Star will shine.

A la Media Noche Traditional Puerto Rican carol arr. Greg Gilpin

A la media noche, al rigor del hielo nace Jesu Cristo, Redentor del Cielo.

A la media noche, el gallo cantaba, y en su voz decia ya Cristo ha nacido.

At the hour of midnight, in the icy harshness, born was Jesus Christ, Redeemer of Heaven. At the hour of midnight, the cock crowed, and his voice proclaimed that Christ was born.

9:30; Noon Goin’ to Bethlehem Jay Althouse (b.1951) The Basilica Cathedral Choir

Goin’ to Bethlehem, see that baby. Goin’ to Bethlehem, see that child. Goin’ to Bethlehem, see that baby,

Goin’ to Bethlehem, gonna take awhile.

Look over yonder and see the wisemen, on a journey they travel afar.

Look over yonder and see the wisemen, led to Bethlehem by a star.

Goin’ to Bethlehem...

Look over younder and see the shepherds watching over their flocks by night.

Look over younder and see the shepherds, by the light of a star so bright.

Goin’ to Bethlehem...

I’m gonna sing heavenly melodies when I see that child.

I’m gonna shout hallelujah when I see that child. Oh,

Goin’ to Bethlehem...

Look over yonder and see the angels; from the heavens they come to earth. Look over yonder and see the angels,

singing praise of a baby’s birth.

Goin’ to Bethlehem...
