Legacy: A Candlelight Christmas
The Glory of the Father (2021) Egil Hovland
The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.
We beheld the glory of the Father, full of grace and truth.
In the beginning was the Word.
The Word was with God.
In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. He came to His own, and His own received Him not.
Adapted from John 1
In Dulci Jubilo (2016) Matthew Culloton (Legacy, 40th Anniversary CD)
Dulci jubilo, (sweet joy)
Let us our homage show,
Our heart’s joy reclineth In praesepio, (in a manger)
And like a bright star shineth Matris in gremio. (in Your mother’s lap) Alpha es et O. (Beginning and End)
O Jesu parvule! (O tiny Jesus) I yearn for thee alway!
Hear me, I beseech thee, O Puer optime! (O best of boys!)
My prayer let it reach thee, O Princeps gloriae, Trahe me post te. (O Prince of Glory, draw me to you)
O Patris caritas! Nati lenitas! (O love of the Father! Oh mercy of the Son!) Deeply were we stained, Per nostra crimina; (by our sins)
But thou hast for us gained Coelorum gaudita! (the joys of Heaven!)
O that we were there!
Ubi sunt gaudia, (Where are joys,)
Where, if they be not there?
There angels sing Nova cantica! (New songs!)
There the bells are ringing in Regis curia. (in the King’s court)
O that we were there! In dulci jubilo. (Sweet joy!)
Ave Maria (2021) Kevin A. Memley
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,
Now and in the hour of our need.
