Wohl mir, dass ich Jesum habe from Cantata 147
hymn tune by Johann Schop; text Martin Janus; arr. J.S. Bach
Brent Hall, organ
Translation
It is well for me that I have Jesus!
How firmly I hold to him,
That he might refresh my heart when I am sick and sad.
I have Jesus, who loves me and gives himself for me.
Therefore, I will not leave him,
even if my heart is breaking.
II. Venite adoremus Dominum
Veni, veni, Emmanuel
C15 French chant; arr. Andrew Hawryluk

Translation
Come, Emmanuel! Break the bond of Israel, which mourns in exile, deprived of God's Son.
Rejoice, Emmanuel will be born for you, Israel.
Come, o Jesse's branch! Take your people from their enemy's grasp, from the cave of hell, and from the cavern of the abyss.
Come, Lord! Who to the people in Sinai gave thy law from on high in the majesty of thy glory.
Angelus ad virginem
C14 Irish carol; arr. David Willcocks
Narrator: Clayton Watts; Gabriel: Reed Olsen; Mary: Megan Richey Olsen; Brent Hall, organ
Translation
The angel came to the Virgin's room and calmed her fear, saying, "Hail! You will conceive and bear the salvation of mankind." Mary replied, "I am the humble maidservant of almighty God. I give my consent, and am ready to obey." Hail, Mother of our Lord, who brought peace when she bore Christ.
Ave Maria

Translation
The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary, and she conceived of the Holy Spirit, and the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.
Hail Mary, full of grace; the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.

Translation
Mary sits in amid the roses and rocks her baby Jesus,
Through the leaves blows a gentle summer wind.

Lovely is your smile, lovelier still your joy in sleeping.
Lay your precious head here on your mother's breast.
Sleep, sweet baby, lullaby.
