Ave Maria

Ave, Maria, gratia plena,
Dominus tecum,
benedicta tu in mulieribus,
et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus.

Sancta Maria, Mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
nunc, et in hora mortis nostrae.
Amen.

 Hail, Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now, and in the hour of our death.
Amen.

Adeste fideles

Adeste, fideles, laeti triumphantes,
venite, venite, in Bethlehem;
Natum videte, regem angelorum:
Venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus Dominum.

Deum de Deo, Lumen de lumine,
Gestant puellae viscera;
Deum verum, genitum non factum:
Venite adoremus, &c.

Cantet nunc Io! Chorus angelorum:
Cantet nunc aula caelestium:
Gloria, gloria in excelsis Deo!
Venite adoremus, &c.

Ergo qui natus Die hodierna,
Jesu, tibi sit gloria:
Patris aeterni Verbum caro factum!
Venite adoremus, &c.

 O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem;
Come and behold him, born the king of angels.
O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.

God of God, Light of Light,
Lo, he abhors not the Virgin's womb.
Very God, begotten, not created; 
O come, let us adore him, &c.

Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above:
"Glory to God in the highest":
O come, let us adore him, &c.

Yea, Lord, we greet thee, born this happy morning;
Jesus, to thee be glory given;
Word of the Father now in flesh appearing;
O come, let us adore him, &c
