From the Ad Te Levavi Divine Service

To You, O Lord, I lift up my soul; O my God, in You I trust... Kyrie eleison, Kyrie, eleison, Kyrie eleison... Stir up Your power, O Lord, and come that by Your protection we may be saved from the threatening perils of our sins... I will raise up for David a righteous Branch...and this is the name by which He will be called: "The Lord is our righteousness."... None who wait on You shall be put to shame... The night is far gone, the day is at hand... Show us Your steadfast love, O Lord, and grant us Your salvation... Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!... Virgin's Son, make here Your home! Marvel now, O heaven and earth, that the Lord chose such a birth... Whose way John the Baptist prepared...calling sinners to repentance that they might escape from the wrath to be revealed when He comes again in glory... O God the Father, the Fountain and Source of all goodness, who in lovingkindness sent Your only-begotten Son into the flesh... All praise, eternal Son, to Thee, Whose Advent sets Thy people free, Whom with the Father we adore And Holy Spirit evermore.
