Mary’s Joy
1. Gabriel spoke to Mary, Alleluia!
Soon in your womb you will carry, Alleluia!
One who rules for eternity, Alleluia!
Mary replied, “Be it done to me!”, Alleluia!
2. Mary went off to the hill country, Alleluia!
Visited ‘Lisabeth happily, Alleluia!
“Praise the Lord, O my soul,” she sang, Alleluia!
And her song through the ages rang, Alleluia!
3. Mary, in Bethlehem, brought to birth, Alleluia!
Jesus the Savior of all the earth, Alleluia!
She is the Virgin and Mother, Alleluia!
He is the God-Man, our Brother, Alleluia!
4. Glory be to the Father, Alleluia!
Glory be to his only Son, Alleluia!
Glory be to the Spirit, Alleluia!
Glory be to the Three-in-One, Alleluia!

Lully, Lullay, thou little tiny child,
Bye Bye, Lully, Lullay!
Thou little tiny child,
Bye Bye, Lully, Lullay!
Herod the King, in His raging,
Char-ged He hath this day,
His men of might
In His own sight,
All young children to slay.
Lully, Lullay, thou little tiny child,
Bye Bye, Lully, Lullay!
Thou little tiny child,
Bye Bye, Lully, Lullay!
Waiting for a King
Waiting for a King,
When will He come?
Waiting for a King,
God’s Holy One.
Will the world be ready?
Is His Advent near?
Waiting for a King,
When will He appear?
Waiting for a King,
When will He come?
Waiting for a King,
God’s only Son.
Will the world receive Him?
Will He stand alone?
Waiting for a King
To come and take His throne.
Waiting for a King,
Ruling in might.
Waiting for a King
To shine in our night.
Will the world be ready
When He comes to stay?
Waiting for a King,
Will this be the day?
Hodie – Word Pronunciations
Hodie Christus natus est
Hodie Salvator apparuit
Hodie in terra canunt angeli
Laetantur archangeli
Hodie exsultant justi, dicentes:
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Alleluia!
