Veni, Emmanuel

Veni, Veni Emmanuel!
Captivum solve Israel!
Qui gemit in exsilio,
Privatus Dei Filio.
Gaude, gaude, Emmanuel
Nascetur pro te, Israel.
Veni, Veni O Oriens!
Solare nos adveniens,
Noctis depelle nebulas,
Dirasque noctis tenebras.
Gaude, gaude…
Veni, Veni Adonai!
Qui populo in Sinai
Legem dedisti vertice,
In Majestate gloriae.
Gaude, gaude…
Come, Emanuel,
Set free the captive Israel
Lamenting in exile,
Deprived of the son of God.
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emanuel shall be born to you,
O Israel.
Come, radiant dawn,
Bring us solace.
Dispel the mists and the
Fearful shadows of the night
Rejoice! Rejoice...
Come, Lord God,
who gave the law to your people
on Sinai's summit
in glorious majesty.
Rejoice! Rejoice...
(English translation by Donna Stewart)

Ther is no rose of swych vertu
As is the rose that bare Jhesu.
For in this rose conteynyd was
Heuen and erthe in lytyl space,
Res miranda.
By that rose we weel may see
that He is God in personys three.

The aungelys sungyn the shepherdes to:
‘Gloria in excelsis Deo’.
Gaudeamus
Leive we all this worldly merthe
And folwe we this joyful berthe

The Angel Gabriel
02:31
|

The angel Gabriel from heaven came,
with wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame.
"All hail to thee, O lowly maiden Mary,
most highly favoured lady
Gloria!"
"For know a blessèd Mother thou shalt be.
All generations laud and honour thee.
Thy son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold
Most highly favoured lady:
Gloria!"
Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head,
"To me be as it pleaseth God," she said,
"My soul shall laud and magnify God's holy name."
Most highly favoured lady:
Gloria!
Of her, Emmanuel the Christ was born
in Bethlehem, all on a Christmas morn.
And Christian folk throughout the world will ever say
Most highly favoured lady:
Gloria!

Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
and with fear and trembling stand;
ponder nothing earthly-minded,
for with blessing in his hand,
Christ our God to earth descendeth,
our full homage to demand.
King of kings, yet born of Mary,
as of old on earth he stood,
Lord of lords, in human vesture,
in the body and the blood,
he will give to all the faithful
his own self for heav'nly food.
Rank on rank the host of heaven
spreads its vanguard on the way,
as the Light of light descendeth
from the realms of endless day,
that the pow'rs of hell may vanish
as the darkness clears away.
At his feet the six-winged seraph,
cherubim, with sleepless eye,
veil their faces to the presence,
as with ceaseless voice they cry,
"Alleluia, alleluia,
alleluia, Lord Most High!"

A rose has sprung up from a tender root.
As the old ones sang to us, its lineage was from Jesse.
And it has brought forth a floweret in the midst of the cold winter;
At deepest midnight hour.
The rosebud that I mean, of which Isaiah told,
Is Mary, the pure, who brought us the floweret.
At God’s immortal word, she has borne a child
Who makes us blessed.
The floweret so small, that smells so sweet to us
With its clear light dispels the darkness.
True man and true God, helping us through all suffering,
He saves us from sin and death.

The Wexford Carol

Good people all, this Christmas time,
Consider well and bear in mind
What our good God for us has done
In sending his beloved son
With Mary holy we should pray,
To God with love this Christmas Day
In Bethlehem upon that morn,
There was a blessed Messiah born.
The night before that happy tide,
The noble Virgin and her guide
Were long time seeking up and down
To find a lodging in the town.
But mark how all things came to pass
From every door repelled, alas,
As was foretold, their refuge all
Was but a humble ox's stall.
Near Bethlehem did shepherds keep
Their flocks of lambs and feeding sheep
To whom God's angels did appear
Which put the shepherds in great fear
Prepare and go, the angels said
To Bethlehem, be not afraid
For there you'll find, this happy morn
A princely babe, sweet Jesus, born.
With thankful heart and joyful mind
The shepherds went the babe to find
And as God's angel had foretold
They did our Saviour Christ behold
Within a manger he was laid
And by his side the virgin maid
Attending on the Lord of Life
Who came on earth to end all strife.

My love, my pride, my treasure, O
My wonder new and pleasure, O
My son, my beauty, ever You
Who am I to bear You here?
The cause of talk and tale am I
The cause of greatest fame am I
The cause of proudest care on high
To have for mine, the king of all
And though You are the king of all
They sent You to the manger stall
Where at Your feet they all shall fall
And glorify my child the king
There shone a star above three kings,
To guide them to the king of kings.
They held You in their humble arms
And knelt before You until dawn.
They gave You myrrh they gave You gold
Frankincense and gifts untold
They traveled far these gifts to bring,
And glorify their newborn king.
My love, my pride, my treasure, O
My wonder new and pleasure, O
My son, my beauty, ever You
Who am I to bear You here?
