Introit for 1st Sunday of Advent: Ad te levavi

The Introit (Entrance song) for the First Sunday of Advent is Ad te levavi, or To you Ihave lifted my soul, and is based on Psalm 25:

To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul. O my God, in you I trust; do not let me be put to shame; do not let my enemies exult over me. Do not let those who wait for you be put to shame; let them be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.

Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all day long...


Here's a nice version, by way of The New Liturgical Movement:
