Matin responsory (I look from afar)    

I look from afar:
and lo, I see the power of God coming,
and a cloud covering the whole earth.

Go ye out to meet him and say:
Tell us, art thou he that should come
to reign over thy people Israel?

High and low, rich and poor, one with another.
Hear, O thou shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a sheep.
Stir up thy strength, O Lord, and come.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
