Preface of the Mass

Christ
 the 
Light
Mass during the Night, the Nativity of the Lord


The 
Lord
 be
 with 
you. R.  And
 with
 your spirit.
Lift up 
your 
hearts.  R. We 
lift 
them 
up 
to 
the
 Lord.
Let 
us
 give 
thanks
 to 
the 
Lord
 our 
God. R. It 
is 
right 
and
 just.

It 
is 
truly 
right 
and
 just, our 
duty
 and 
our 
salvation,
always 
and everywhere 
to 
give 
You
 thanks,
Lord, holy 
Father, almighty 
and 
eternal God.
For
 in 
the 
mystery 
of 
the 
Word 
made
 flesh
new 
light 
of 
Your 
glory
has 
shone 
upon 
the 
eyes 
of
 our
 mind,
so
 that, as 
we 
recognize 
in 
Him 
God
 made visible,
we 
may 
be caught 
up 
through 
Him
 in 
love 
of 
things invisible.
And 
so, with Angels 
and 
Archangels, 
with Thrones and Dominions,
and with
 all
 the
 hosts 
and
 Powers of heaven,
we 
sing
 the 
hymn of
 Your 
glory,
as without end we acclaim:

Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of hosts,
Heaven and earth are filled with your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
