Guadete Sunday - Rejoice!

From the Introit for the 3rd Sunday of Advent, also referred to as "Gaudete Sunday".  This comes from the first word in the Introit (INTROIT ¤ Phil. 4. 4-6): Gaudete in Domino semper: iterum dico gaudete.
Rejoice in the Lord always: again I say, rejoice. Let your modesty be known to all men: for the Lord is nigh. Be nothing solicitous: but in every thing by prayer let your petitions be made known to God. -- (Ps. 84. 2). Lord, Thou hast blessed Thy land: Thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob. V.: Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Rejoice in the Lord always: again I say, rejoice. Let your modesty be known to all men: for the Lord is nigh. Be nothing solicitous: but in every thing by prayer let your petitions be made known to God.
