Refrain: Gabriel said unto Mary, " Fear not, you have found favor with God, most high."

2. " He shall be great, the Prince of Peace"; He shall be called, the Son of the Highest."
3. For unto us a Child is born, For unto us a Son is given.

Nowell, sing nowell good people gathered here; Offer thanks, ye faithful, to the news give ear.
Sing we nowell, a new King born today; Nowell, sing nowell good people gathered here.
Unto humble shepherds came the angel near; 'Hence,' said he, `to Bethlehem, be ye of good cheer.
Seek there the Lamb of God, love's own pure ray; Nowell, sing nowell good people gathered here.
When to Bethlehem they came in lowly fear; Found they gentle Mary with her son so dear.
Heav'n's mighty Lord is there for all to see; Noel nouvelet, Noel chantons ice.

6. Suo Gan -- Arr. Tom Windfelder

Traditional Welsh Lullaby; Sung in Gaelic
Solo 1 and 3: Bryan Washko; Solo 2: Patrick Cero

Sleep my baby, on my bosom warm and cozy will it prove
Round thee mother's arms are folding, in her heart a mother's love
There shall no one come to harm thee; naught shall ever break thy rest
Sleep, my darling babe, in quiet, sleep on mother's gentle breast.
Sleep serenely baby, slumber. Thing of beauty, gently sleep
Tell me wherefore thou are smiling, smiling sweetly in thy sleep.
Do the angels smile in heaven when thy happy smile they see?
Dost thou on them smile while slumb'ring on my bosom peacefully?
Sleep, my baby there is nothing shall my darling make thee cry
On my bosom smile so gently at the angels in the sky.

Advent Chant; Text from Isaias 45:8, 40:1
Sung by ABC Schola Group 1997-98 Season

Drop down dew, ye heavens, from above,
And let the clouds rain the just:
Let the earth be opened, and bud forth a Saviour.
Comfort all my people; very soon will come your salvation.
I have come to save you, you must not be fearful.
I am your Lord; I am your God.
