Hymns for this Sunday- hymn numbers are from the 1940 Hymnal:
Hymns:
Nota Bene: In lieu of the Gradual and Alleluia being chanted by our cantor, we will be singing a Gradual Hymn, bracketing the reading of the Gospel: the first two verses will be sung before the Gospel is read, and the second two after.
During Advent, we will use the classic hymn “O come, O come, Emmanuel” – based on the ancient “Great O” Advent antiphons, each citing a Christological title or role of the Messiah, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, from the Prophets – as our Gradual hymn, bracketing the Gospel reading with two verses from that hymn: one before, and one after.
Today, on this Second Sunday of Advent, we will sing the 3rd verse before, and the 4th after, the Gospel. Next Sunday, the 5th and 6th; and the Last Sunday of Advent, the Sunday next before Christmas Day itself, we will sing verse 7 before, and reprise verse 1 after, the Gospel.
