Taking my cue from BMP at Christus Vincit, I thought I'd go through our hymnal,
Catholic Book of Worship III, published by the CCCB.
I will concentrate first on hymns, then on Mass Settings and then on the Psalm settings, and finally other acclamations.

What I would like to continue hearing.
1. Awake Awake: Fling off the Night [Deus Tuorum Militum]
2. Come, O Long Expected Jesus[Stuttgart]
3. O Come Divine Messiah [Venez Divin Messie]
4. O Come, O Come Emmauel [Veni Veni Emmanuel-LM with refrain Mode I]
5. The Angel Gabriel From Heaven Came [Gabriel's Message]

1. Awake Awake and Greet the New Morn (Haugen)
2. Be Light for Our Eyes (Haas)
