I: Hanacpachap cuissicuinin
Heaven's joy!
a thousand times shall we praise you.
O tree bearing thrice-blessed fruit,
O hope of humankind,
helper of the weak.
hear our prayer!
Attend to our pleas,
O column of ivory, Mother of God!
Beautiful iris, yellow and white,
receive this song we offer you;
come to our assistance,
show us the Fruit of your womb!
Xichochi conetzintle
Gently sleep, little Child.
Cry no more, for the angels are here.
Alleluia.
Tleycantimo choquiliya
Soloists:
Elaine DeMarco, Troy Brunke
We sing to you, little flower,
My pleasures, my passion.
Alleluia.
Leave thou the growing cry,
Behold the mule and the ox.
Take comfort, my king.
What bothers you, my beloved?
I know not what pains you,
Such beautiful rosy face,
Noble Lord, handsome child,
My gem, my white-plumed bird.
(Duet) Jesus of my heart,
Do not cry, my fantasy.
II: Nun komm der Heiden Heiland
1. Now come, Savior of the nations,
The Virgin’s child made known,
That all the world may marvel
God has ordained such a birth for Him.
Frank Raab
Praise be to God the Father,
Praise be to His only Son,
Praise be to God the Holy Spirit,
Now and forevermore.
2. Not by human blood or flesh,
But by the Holy Spirit alone,
God’s Word became a man
And blossomed as fruit of woman’s flesh.
Laura Arnow, Jody Lee, Frank Raab
Praise be to God the Father …
3. The Virgin’s body was pregnant,
Yet chastity remained pure.
Virtues shone forth brightly,
As God took His throne within.
Michael Russell
4. He came forth from His chamber,
The royal hall so pure,
God by nature and man, a hero,
He hurried to run His course.
Laura Frank, David Canright, Mark Stevens, Frank Raab
Praise be to God the Father …
5. His journey came from the Father
And returns again to the Father.
He descended into Hell
And rose again to God’s seat.
Laura Frank, David Canright, Mark Stevens, Frank Raab
Praise be to God the Father …
6. You, who are equal to the Father,
Bring victory in the flesh,
So that Your eternal divine power
May sustain our frail flesh.
Laura Arnow, Jody Lee, Michael Russell
Laura Frank, David Canright, Mark Stevens, Frank Raab
Praise be to God the Father …

Rejoice! Rejoice!
Christ is born of the Virgin Mary.
Rejoice!
The time of grace is here, that which we have longed for;
Let us devoutly offer songs of joy.
God has become man, to the wonder of nature;
The world is renewed by Christ's reign.
The closed gate of Ezekiel is passed through;
From where the light has arisen, salvation is found.
Therefore, let our assembly sing now in harmony;
Bless the Lord; hail to our King.
IX: Magnificat a 14
Soloist:
Mark Stevens
1 My soul magnifies the Lord,
2 and my spirit rejoices in God, my Savior.
3 For He has regarded the humility of His handmaid:
behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed.
4 For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name.
5 His mercy is from generation to generation on those who fear Him.
6 He has shown strength with His arm;
He has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
7 He has cast down the mighty from their thrones and exalted the humble.
8 He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent away empty.
9 He has helped His servant Israel, remembering His mercy,
10 as He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and his descendants forever.
11 Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
12 as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

XI: In dulci jubilo
1. In sweet jubilation,
Now sing and be glad!
Our heart’s joy lies
In the manger,
And shines like the sun
In the mother’s lap.
You are Alpha and Omega!
2. O little Jesus,
I long so much for You!
Comfort my soul,
O most excellent boy,
Through all Your goodness,
O Prince of Glory.
Draw me after You!
3. O love of the Father!
O gentleness of the Son!
We would all be lost (ruined)
Through our sins,
So He has gained for us
The joys of heaven.
Ah, if only we were there!
4. Where are the joys
Nowhere more than there!
There, the angels sing
New songs,
And the bells ring
In the King’s court.
Ah, if only we were there!
Madregalia!!
