2 Sunday – CHRISTMAS II – Madrigals Sing

Offertory: Lirum, Lirum – Thomas Morley

You that want to my pipes sound, daintily to tread your ground. Shepherds leave your pasture sweet: Lirum, lirum, lirum. Here met together in winter weather, hand in hand uniting, the Holy Child come greet! Lo triumphing brave comes He all in pomp and majesty, monarch of the world and King: Lirum, lirum, lirum. Let whoso list Hime, dare to resist Hime, we our voice uniting, His praise shall ever sing. Lirum.

Communion: Oh, Po’ Little Jesus – William L. James

Oh, poor little Jesus, this world is going to break your heart. There will be no place to lay your head, my Lord! Oh, Mary, she bowed down and cried, for there is no place to lay His head! Come down, all you holy angels! Sing round him with your golden harps, for some day He will die to save this world! Oh, poor little Jesus.

Hail, true Body, born of the Virgin Mary who has truly suffered, was sacrificed on the cross for mortals, whose side was pierced, whence flowed water and blood: be for us a foretaste of heaven during our final examining. O Jesu sweet, O Jesu pure, O Jesu, Son of Mary, have mercy upon me. Amen.
