O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear

And cause us in her ways to go[Refrain]
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O IsraelO come, O come, Thou Lord of might
Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai's height
In ancient times didst give the lawIn cloud, and majesty and awe

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
Psalm
For you, O Lord, my soul in stillness waits, truly my hope is in you.
The 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.
Come Lord Jesus COme
Refrain:
Come, Lord Jesus, come.
Come and fill my heart with your life.
Hold me close, Lord, hold me tight,
and come, Lord Jesus, come.1 Where there's despair in life, Lord,
let me be your voice of hope.
Where there's injury, Lord,
let me be your voice of peace. [Refrain]2 Where there is sadness
let me be your comfort and your joy.
When there's fear in our hearts
let me be a sign of faith. [Refrain]One bread ,One Cup

Salvation is drawing near.O come, O come, Emmanuel,

Who ordered all things mightily;
To us the path of knowledge show,
And teach us in her ways to go.O come, O Rod of Jesse’s stem;
From ev’ry foe deliver them
That trust your mighty pow’r to save,
And give them vict’ry o’er the grave.O come, Desire of nations, bind
In one the hearts of humankind;
Make all our sad divisions cease,
And be for us the King of Peace.After final refrain
Rejoice! Emmanuel
shall come to thee, O Israel. (twice)
