Ant. Christ has appeared to us, come, let us adore

Psalm 63:2-9 A
soul thirsting for God
O God, you are my God; at dawn I seek you, for you my soul is thirsting.
For you my flesh is pining, like a dry, weary land without water.
I have come before you in the holy place, to behold your strength and
your glory.
Your loving mercy is better than life, my lips will speak your praise.
I will bless you all my life, in your name I will lift up my hand.
My soul shall be filled as with a banquet; with joyful my mouth shall
praise you.
When I remember you upon my bed, I muse on you through the watches of
the night.
For you have been my strength, in the shadow of your wings I rejoice.
My soul clings fast to you; your right hand upholds me.
Bless the Lord, all you works of the Lord, praise and highly exalt him
for ever.
Heavens, bless the Lord, praise and highly exalt him for ever.
Angels of the Lord, bless the Lord, praise and highly exalt him for
ever.
All waters above the heavens, bless the Lord, praise and highly exalt
him for ever.
All powers of the Lord, bless the Lord, praise and highly exalt him for
ever.
Sun and moon, bless the Lord, praise and highly exalt him for ever.
Stars of heaven, bless the Lord, praise and highly exalt him for ever.
Every shower and dew, bless the Lord, praise and highly exalt him for
ever……
Ant. 3. Jerusalem, your light has come, the glory of
the Lord is dawn upon you.
Men and women of
every race shall walk in the splendour of your sunrise, alleluia.
Psalm 149
Chantez pour le Seigneur un chant nouveau:
chantez sa louange dans l’assemblée des fidèles
Qu’Israël se réjouisse de son Auteur, que
les fils de Sion fêtent leur roi.
Qu’ils louent son nom par la danse, qu’ils
jouent pour lui du tambour et de la cithare
Car le Seigneur favorise son peuple, il
pare de victoire les humbles.
Que les fidèles exultent en rendant
gloire, que sur leurs nattes ils cirent de joie.
Exaltant Dieu a pleine gosier, tenant en
main l’épée a deux tranchants.
Tirer vengeance des nations et châtier les
peuples, enchainer leur rois,
exécuter contre eux la sentence écrite,
c’est l’honneur de tous ses fidèles !
Reading: How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet
of him who brings glad tidings, announcing
peace, bearing good news, announcing salvation, and saying to Zion,
`Your Go dis King’ Hark ! Your
watchmen raise a cry, together they shout for joy, for they see directly,
before their eyes, the Lord restoring Zion. Break out together in song. O ruins
of Jerusalem! For the Lord comforts his people, he redeems Jerusalem. The Lord has bared his holy arm in the sight
of all the nations; all the ends of the earth will behold the salvation of our
God. Is. 52:7-10
Prayer: Father,
you revealed your Son to the nations by the guidance
Of a star. Lead us to your glory
in heaven by the light of faith, we ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ,
your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever
and ever.
