Music
"Singing is Praying Twice."
Music enhances the Liturgy Mass Celebration of the Roman Catholic Faith. The Catholics are basically traditional and follow the Mass Liturgy very strictly. All songs are based on the Liturgical Season. The Organist, Pianist, Singers, Cantors sing the Responsorial Psalms, Acclamation, Entrances, Offertory, Communion, and Final Songs based upon the Liturgy of the Mass.
St. Mary Help of Christians Church have multiples liturgies on most Sundays of the year. Then, in many cases, the entire parish community comes together for one liturgy on holy days such as as Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Vigil. These Trilingual Celebrations are wonderful opportunity for the various cultural groups of the parish to worship as one.
Our Parish is equipped with three Liturgical Languages: English, Italian, and the Spanish. These groups sing into their own traditional style. Each has an expressive way to enhance and beautify the Liturgical Mass Celebrations.
In our worship today, we strive for both a singing assembly and for appropriate choral and instrumental music. In addition, we are happy to welcome other choir, performers, and listeners to help assist us in our Liturgical Mass.

Entrance Song: O Come, All Ye Faithful
1. 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; Refrain: O come, let us adore him, O come, let us adore him, O come let us adore him, Christ the Lord. 2. God of God, Light of Light, Lo! He comes forth from the virgin’s womb. Our very God, begotten not created, (Refrain) 3. Sing Choirs of angels, sing in exultation, Sing all ye citizens of heaven above! Glory to God, all glory in the highest; (Refrain) 4. Yea, Lord, we greet thee, born this happy morning, Jesus, to thee be all glory given; Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing; (Refrain) Gloria . . . First Reading: (Bertha Morgan) Responsorial Psalm: All the ends of the earth have seen the saving power of God. 1. Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done wondrous deeds. His right hand has won victory for him, His holy arm. 2. The Lord has made his salvation known: In the sight of the nations he has revealed his justice. He has remembered his kindness and his faithfulness toward the hours of Israel. 3. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation by our God. Sing joyfully to the Lord, all you lands; Break into song; sing praise. Second Reading: (Pina Machhiavello) Gospel Acclamation: Alleluia (4X) Verse: A holy day has dawned upon us. Come, you nations, and adore the Lord. For today a great light has come upon the earth. Gospel Reading: (Deacon Juan Carnero) Homily: (Rev. Brando Ibarra) Offertory Song: Angels We Have Heard on High 1. Angels we have heard on high Sweetly singing o’er the plains, And the mountains in reply Echo back their joyous strains. Refrain: Gloria in excelsis Deo, Gloria in excelsis Deo. 2. Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong? Say what may the tidings be. Which inspire your heavenly song. (Refrain) 3. Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing; Come adore, on bended knee, Christ, the Lord, the newborn King. (Refrain) 4. See him in a manger laid, whom the choirs of angels praise; Mary, Joseph, lend your aid, while our hearts in love we raise. (Refrain) |
Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of Hosts. Heaven and Earth are full, are full of your glory. Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes, who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna in the highest.
When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup, We proclaim your death O Lord. Until you come again. Amen, Amen, Amen . . . Our Father. . . Lamb of God 1. Jesus, Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. 2. Jesus, Bread of Life, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. 3. Jesus, Cup of Hope, you take away the sins of the world, grant us peace. Communion: Silent Night, Holy Night 1. Silent night, holy night, All is calm, all is bright. Round yon Virgin Mother and Child, Holy Infant so tender and mild, Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace. 2. Silent night, holy night, Shepherds quake at the sight; Glories stream from heaven afar, Heavenly hosts sing alleluia; Christ, the Savior, is born! Christ the savior is born. 3. Silent night, holy night, Son of God, love’s pure light Radiant beams from thy holy face, with the dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus, Lord, at thy birth, Jesus, Lord, at thy birth. Hark! The Herald Angels Sing 1. Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King; Peace on earth, and mercy mild God and sinners reconciled.” Joyful, all you nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies; with the angelic host proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethlehem!” Hark the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!” 2. Christ, by highest heaven adored, Christ the everlasting Lord; late in time behold him come, offspring of the Virgin’s womb. Veiled in flesh the God head see: Hail the incarnate Deity, Pleased as man with us to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel. Hark! The herald angels sing. “Glory to the new-born King!” 3. Hail the heaven born Prince of Peace! Hail the Sun of Righteousness! Light and life to all he brings, Risen with healing in his wings. Mild he lays his glory by. Born that we no more may die, Born to raise us from the earth, Born to give us second birth. Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King. Joy to the World 1. Joy to the world! The Lord is come: Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare him room, and heaven and nature sing. And heaven and nature sing, And heaven and heaven and nature sing. 2. Joy to the world! The Savior reigns; Let us, our songs employ; While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains, Repeat the sounding joy, repeat the sounding joy, repeat, repeat the sounding joy. |
