Responsorial Psalm 83(84):2-3,5-6,9-10 for the Holy Family, Year C
They are happy who dwell in Your house, O Lord.
How lovely is Your dwelling place,
Lord, God of hosts.
My soul is longing and yearning,
is yearning for the courts of the Lord.
My heart and my soul ring out their joy
to God, the living God.

Sleep, Baby, Sleep will be offered as a bonus track (details forthcoming) on a wonderfully diverse Christmas album by Fetal Records called "A Colorful Christmas" in late October, 2015. Watch here for links to iTunes, CDBaby, Amazon Music and Spotify. You may preview the song from this page.
Digital download of the album is available now, direct from Fetal Records.
A Colorful Christmas is a collection of Christmas songs, original and covers, in multiple genres by a diverse group of passionate and inspiring artists with different backgrounds. Featuring Internationally known bluesman Charlie Sayles, Tony Fazio, Scott Taylor, Richard Schletty, Greg Phillips, Subsidiarity, Law & Order, Ken Wenzel, and Jane Kraemer. “If you build it, they will come.” And so they came and came in force. Twelve originals and six traditional covers.
Sleep, Baby, Sleep is a collaboration with my brother Chris who dreamt this song and with Andre van Haren (www.andrevanharen.com) who did the orchestral arrangement. Sheet music from simple to orchestral arrangements is available upon request.
I also have this song available with Spanish lyrics here: www.topcatholicsongs.com/duerme-nino-duerme
Sleep, Baby, Sleep
[verse 1]
Sleep, Baby, sleep
on this magic night.
Sleep, Baby, sleep
while Mother holds you tight.
Little baby, so so small,
lying in that humble stall.
So sleep, Baby, sleep
while angels watch they keep.
[verse 2]
Sleep, Baby, sleep
while angels hum a tune.
Sleep, Baby, sleep
beneath the golden moon.
Kings and shepherds see the star
and come to visit from afar.
So sleep, Baby, sleep
while angels watch they keep.
[bridge]
Born in the fullness of time,
Spirit and matter combine.
Praise to the King of all kings,
The Son of the God of all things.
Here in this portal,
new life immortal.
In a manger with sheep
in soft wool you sleep.
[verse 3]
Sleep, Baby, sleep
beneath the starry sky.
Sleep, Baby, sleep
to Mary's lullaby.
You have come to save us all,
little Jesus, so so small.
Sleep, Baby, sleep.
Sleep, Baby, sleep.

God of hosts, bring us back; let Your face shine on us and we shall be saved.

Sing and shout for joy for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.

I trust, I shall not fear.

With joy you will draw water
from the wells of salvation.

Responsorial Psalm 125(126) for the 2nd Sunday in Advent, Year C
What marvels the Lord worked for us! Indeed we were glad.
When the Lord delivered Zion from bondage,
it seemed like a dream.
Then was our mouth filled with laughter,
on our lips there were songs.
What marvels the Lord worked for us! Indeed we were glad.

He has girded Himself with power.
The Lord is king, with majesty enrobed.
The world You made firm, not to be moved;
