Second Sunday in Advent

Introitus (Jes. 30, 30)
Populus Sion, ecce Dominus veniet ad salvandas gentes: et auditam faciet Dominus gloriam vocis suae in laetitia cordis vestri. People of Sion, behold the Lord shall come to save the nations: and the Lord shall make the glory of His voice to be heard, in the joy of your heart.
Tussenzang (Ps. 79):
Qui regis Israel, intende: qui deducis velut ovem Ioseph. Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock
Graduale (Ps. 49, 2.3.5)
Ex Sion species decoris eius: Deus manifeste veniet. Congregate illi sanctos eius, qui ordinaverunt testamentum eius super sacrificia. Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth. Gather my saints together to me, those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
Alleluia (Ps 121, 1)
Alleluia. Laetatus sum in his, quae dicta sunt mihi, in domum Domini ibimus. Alleluia. Alleluia. I was glad when they said to me, Let's go to Yahweh's house. Alleluia.
Offertorium (Ps 84, 7-8)
Deus tu convertens vivificabis nos, et plebs tua laetabitur in te: ostende nobis, Domine, misericordiam tuam, et salutare tuum da nobis. O God, and bring us to life, and thy people shall rejoice in thee: Shew us, O Lord, thy mercy and grant us thy salvation.
Communio (Bar. 5, 5; 4, 36)
Ierusalem, surge et sta in excelso, et vide iucunditatem, quae veniet tibi a Deo tuo. Arise, O Jerusalem, and stand on high rejoicing in the remembrance of God.
Tussenzang (Ps. 147.12):
Lauda, Ierusalem, Dominum; Collauda Deum tuum, Sion. Praise Yahweh, Jerusalem! Praise your God, Zion!
