  1. Alleluia, Sing to Jesus (110 Hymns Old and New) - See especially the 4th Verse, "....alleluia, born of Mary, earth His footstool, Heav'n His throne...", is particularly relevant to the Gospel. This hymn is additionally relevant if played during the Vigil Mass on the 6th Ordinary Sunday 11th Feb 2017 since it is the World Day of the Sick & Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes.
