Alleluia, alleluia.

Speak, O Lord, your servant is listening,
You have the words of everlasting life.

Alleluia, alleluia.

1. Virgin-born, we bow before thee:
blessed was the womb that bore thee;
Mary, Mother meek and mild, blessed was she in her Child.
Blessed was the breast that fed thee;
blessed was the hand that led thee;
blessed was the womb that bore you;
Mary, Mother meek and mild,
Blessed was she in her Child.
Blessed was the breast that fed you;
Blessed was the hand that led you;
Blessed was the mother's eye
Watching o'er your infancy.

2. Blessed she by all creation,
who brought forth the world's salvation
and blessed they, forever blest,
who love thee most and serve thee best.
Virgin-born, we bow before thee;
blessed was the womb that bore thee;
Mary, Mother world's salvation.
Blessed they who ever blest,
Love you most and serve you best.
Virgin-born, we bow before you;
Blessed was the womb that bore you;
Mary, Mother meek and mild,
Blessed was she in her Child.

1. Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming from tender stem hath sprung.
of Jesse's lineage coming as saints of old have sung.
It came, a floweret bright, amid the cold of winter,
when half-spent was the night.

2. Isaiah 'twas foretold it, the Rose I have in mind;
with Mary we behold it, the virgin mother kind.
To show God's love aright she bore to us a Savior,
when half-spent was the night.

3. This flower, whose fragrance tender with sweetness fills the air,
dispels with glorious splendor the darkness everywhere.
True man yet very God, from sin and death he saves us
and lightens every load.

Ave Maria, gratia plena,
Dominus tecum,
benedicta tu in mulieribus,
et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus.

Sancta Maria, Mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
nunc et in hora mortis nostrae.
Amen.

1. Joy to the world! the Lord is come;
let earth receive her King.
Let every heart prepare him room,
and heaven and nature sing,
and heaven and nature sing,
and heaven, and heaven and nature sing.

2. Joy to the earth! the Savior reigns;
let all their songs employ,
while fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
repeat the sounding joy,
repeat the sounding joy,
repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

3. No more let sin and sorrow grow
nor thorns infest the ground;
he comes to make his blessings flow
far as the curse is found,
far as the curse is found,
far as, far as the curse is found.

4. He rules the world with truth and grace,
and makes the nations prove
the glories of his righteousness
and wonders of his love,
and wonders of his love,
and wonders, wonders of his love.
