OFFERTORY HYMN The People Who in Darkness Walked

OFFERTORY ANTHEM (11:00 A.M.) In the Bleak Midwinter Mark Schwiezer

In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan, earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow, in the bleak midwinter, long ago.

Our God, Heaven cannot hold Him, nor earth sustain; Heaven and earth shall flee away when He comes to reign. In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed the Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ.

Enough for Him, whom cherubim, worship night and day, breastful of milk, and a mangerful of hay; Enough for Him, whom angels fall before, the ox and ass and camel which adore. What can I give Him, poor as I am? If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;

If I were a Wise Man, I would do my part; yet what I can I give Him: give my heart.

COMMUNION HYMN The First Nowell

COMMUNION ANTHEM In Dulci Jubilo Ian Higginson

In dulci jubilo, Let us our homage shew; our heart's joy reclineth, In praesepio, And like a bright star shineth, Matris in gremio. Alpha es et O, Alpha es et O!

O Jesu parvule! I yearn for thee alway! Hear me, I beseech thee, O Puer optime! My prayer let it reach thee, O Princeps gloriae! Trahe me post te, Trahe me post te!

O Patris caritas, O Nati lenitas! Deeply were we stained, Per nostra crimina; But thou hast for us gained, Coelorum gaudia. O that we were there, O that we were there!

Ubi sunt gaudia, If that they be not there? There are angels singing, Nova cantica, There the bells are ringing, In Regis curia: O that we were there, O that we were there!

BLESSING OF CHALK

Presider: Our help is in the name of the Lord. All: Who made heaven and earth. Presider: The Lord be with you. All: And with your spirit. Presider: Bless, O Lord God, this creature chalk to render it helpful to men. Grant that they who use it in faith and with it inscribe upon the entrance of their homes the names of thy saints, Caspar, Melchior, and Baltassar may through their merits and intercession enjoy health of body and protection of soul. Through Christ our Lord. All: Amen.

PRAYER TO ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.

May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the Power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits,

who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
