1. O HEILAND REISS DIE HIMMEL AUF

Johannes Brahms

O Heiland reiss die Himmel auf,
Herab, herauf vom Himmel lauf,
Reiss ab vom Himmel Tor und Tür,
Reiss ab was Schloss und Riegel für.

O Gott ein tau vom Himmel giess,
Im Tau herab O Heiland fliess,
Ihr Wolken brecht und regnet aus
Den König über Jakobs Haus.

O Erd schlag aus, schlag aus o Erd,
Dass Berg und Tal grün alles werd,
O Erd herfür dies Blümlein bring,
O Heiland aus der Erden spring.

Hie leiden wir die grösste Not,
Vor Augen steht der bittre Tod,
Ach komm, führ uns mit starker Hand
Von Elend zu dem Vaterland.

Da wollen wir all danken dir,
Unser Erlöser für und für,
Da wollen wir all loben dich,
Je allzeit immer und ewiglich.
Amen.

Conducted by Myles Hernandez, '83 Mus.

2. GLORIA

Josquin Des Prez

Gloria in excelsis Deo
Et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis.
Laudamus te, Benedicimus te.
Adoramus te. Glorificamus te.
Gratias agimus tibi propter magnam gloriam tuam.
Domine Deus, Rex coelestis,
Deus Pater omnipotens.
Domine Fili unigenite Jesu Christe
Domine Deus, Agnus Dei, Filius Patris.
Qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis,
Suscipe deprecationem nostram.
Qui sedes ad dexteram Patris, miserere nobis.
Suscipe deprecationem nostram.
Qui sedes ad dexteram Patris, miserere nobis.
Quoniam tu solus sanctus. Tu solus Dominus.
Tu solus Altissimus, Jesu Christe.
Cum Sancto Spiritu in gloria Dei Patris. Amen.

### 3. HOW JOYFUL ARE THE TIDINGS (Provençal Carol: 1570-1610)

How joyful are the tidings that bring us great delight.
The Son of Virgin Mother, our Lord is born tonight.
My friends true, I ask you, what is it we should all do?
To Bethle'm let us all repair and see His Mother there.

Old master, now rise quickly, we must no longer rest.
Saint Joseph told us plainly that to rejoice 'twere best.
Take heart, then; all start then; you choose the better part when
You forth to Bethlehem all fare to guard the Mother there.

The angels have assembled in Paradise above.
They stayed not, for they're seeking this little Son they love.
Descending, voice blending with organ notes attending
This Child, they sing a heav'nly air before His Mother there.

Now we must pray the Mother, with Her fair Son so dear,
That when our work is ended in this world sad and drear,
Befriended attended where song and harp are blended,
We, by their throne, all joy may share with Child and Mother there.

### 4. HURRY HERE, FRIENDS (Provençal Carol: 1570-1610)

Hurry here, friends, oh quick! Hasten to me each one.
You should be here now, each one should serenades play.
Sing "Do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti, do," if nothing better you should know.

In the sky hear the bright angels sing a glad song:
"Shepherds, come here, come behold this Child so lovely,
This lovely child come down from heav'n to save this world, lost, unforgiv'n."

Lilies I bring, and sweet flow'rs grown in my garden.
Two bouquets I'll make, for Mary, for Her dear Son,
Of laurel, jasmine, tulips bright, of fragrant roses, red and white.

In a dance join, and each one shall dance a galliard.
Noels we'll all sing, gay noels on a jews harp.
His hand I'll kiss. Beside His bed, three rolls I'll leave of fine white bread.

### 5. LAST NIGHT CAME A HOST (Provençal Carol: 1570-1610)

Last night came a host of angels,
Angels in celestial chorus.
"Gloria" their song resounded; they called: "Come, awake! Eh la!
Run in haste, go seek that village, go see Mary's newborn Son.
Run in haste, go seek that village, see the newborn Son of Mary."

Wake! Go quickly down the mountains,
Each one with his friends and kindred.
Run in haste across the meadows, leap down valleys, leap o'er hills.
Hasten all to see our Lady, there adore Her Son most high;
Hasten all to see our Lady, there adore Her Son and give thanks.

My gift I'll bring to His Mother,
Well-filled warming pan for cold days.
Cheese I'll bring Saint Joseph's present, Janeton will bring a lamb.
Then a well-filled plate you'll carry, filled with porridge they'll enjoy;
Then a well-filled plate you'll carry, bring them porridge, bring a full plate.
