Make straight the road
Raise the valleys
And mountains make low
Turning from sin
Let the broken be whole
And ready the way of the Lord
Ready the way

Responsorial Psalm | Ps. 146 Lord, Come and Save Us
Lord, come and save us.
R./ Lord, come and save us.
The LORD God keeps faith forever,
secures justice for the oppressed,
gives food to the hungry.
The LORD sets captives free.
R./ Lord, come and save us.
The LORD gives sight to the blind;
the LORD raises up those who were bowed down.
The LORD loves the just;
the LORD protects strangers.
R./ Lord, come and save us.
The fatherless and the widow he sustains,
but the way of the wicked he thwarts.
The LORD shall reign forever;
your God, O Zion, through all generations.
R./ Lord, come and save us.
Preparation of the Gifts | Open My Eyes
Open my eyes, Lord
Help me to see Your face
Open my eyes, Lord
Help me to see
And the first shall be last
And our eyes are opened
And we’ll hear like never before
And we’ll speak in new ways
And we’ll see God’s face
In places we’ve never known
Open my heart, Lord
Help me to love like You
Open my heart, Lord
Help me to love
Communion | Word Made Flesh
In the winter of our souls
Patiently we wait for You___to come
But like an eager little child
We are restless and filled with the wonder of this world
Turn and guide our hearts to You
Turn and guide our lives to You
The Word made flesh
Emmanuel
Son of God
And the most Holy One
Prince of Peace
And Lord of all
We wait for You to come
As I’ve traveled thru life’s doors
And the Advents of before are gone
Where do I stand?
As the candles burn down low
Still the words of long ago resound
Prepare the way
Turn and guide our hearts to You
Turn and guide our lives to You
The Word made flesh
Emmanuel
Son of God
And the most Holy One
Prince of Peace
And Lord of all
We wait for You to come
Repeat Refrain
Closing | Emmanuel
Come, come, Emmanuel
Son of God, appear
Heaven and earth, rejoice
Salvation is drawing near
Salvation is drawing near
O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Come, come, Emmanuel
Son of God, appear
Heaven and earth, rejoice
Salvation is drawing near
Salvation is drawing near
Come, come, Emmanuel
Son of God, appear
Heaven and earth, rejoice
Salvation is drawing near
Salvation is drawing near
