Responsorial Psalm | Ps. 24 Let the Lord Enter

Let the Lord enter; he is king of glory.

R./ Let the Lord enter; he is king of glory.

The LORD’s are the earth and its fullness;
the world and those who dwell in it.
For he founded it upon the seas
and established it upon the rivers.

R./ Let the Lord enter; he is king of glory.

Who can ascend the mountain of the LORD?
or who may stand in his holy place?
One whose hands are sinless, whose heart is clean,
who desires not what is vain.

R./ Let the Lord enter; he is king of glory.

He shall receive a blessing from the LORD,
a reward from God his savior.
Such is the race that seeks for him,
that seeks the face of the God of Jacob.

R./ Let the Lord enter; he is king of glory.

Preparation of the Gifts | Let It Be Done

To bring our world the King of Kings

“We’re ready to receive”
“Yes Lord”
“We’re ready to believe”
“Let it be, let it be done unto me”

Closing | Word Made Flesh

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
