O Come Emmanuel
O come, O come, Emmanuel
And rescue captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.

Shall come to thee, O Israel.

The Silence and the Song
How bright the morning that warms the afternoon
How rich the evening whose cloak reveals the moon
How pure the darkness that greets the breaking dawn
How sweet the silence [rest rest] just before the
song
In winter’s stillness the dance of spring begins
In summer’s twilight the autumn breeze blows in
To ev’ry season both peace and pulse belong
So bound together, the silence and the song.
Before the tender lullaby can soothe us with its sound,
Before the finest symphony can swell with notes profound
The silence must resound, the silence [rest rest]
must resound
3A: And so we listen… in moment calm… to hear, with
wonder… the strains prolong
3B/3C: And so we listen… in moments clear and calm…
to hear, with wonder… the quiet strains prolong
So when we sing with voices pure and strong
Both gifts surround us, the silence and the song.
Both gifts surround us, the silence and the song.
