You are on earth most blest, You are most blest, most blessèd, God chose you, you are blest!” 3 But Mary was most troubled To hear the angel’s word. What was the angel saying? It troubled her to hear, To hear the angel’s message, It troubled her to hear. 4 “Fear not, for God is with you, And you shall bear a child. His name shall be called Jesus, God’s offspring from on high. And He shall reign forever, Forever reign on high.” 5 “How shall this be?” said Mary, “I am not yet a wife.” The angel answered quickly, “The power of the Most High Will come upon you shortly; Your child will be God’s child.” 6 As Mary heard the angel, She wondered at his words. “Behold, I am your handmaid,” She said unto her God. “So be it; I am ready According to your Word.” Topics: Annunciation Used With Tune: ANNUNCIATION

Hymn 50

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Luke 1:68 First Line: Now be the God of Isr'el blessed Lyrics: Now be the God of Isr'el blessed, Who makes his truth appear; His mighty hand fulfils his word, And all the oaths he sware. Now he bedews old David's root With blessings from the skies; He makes the Branch of Promise grow, The promised Horn arise. [John wns the prophet of the Lord, To go before his face; The herald which our Savior God Sent to prepare his ways. He makes the great salvation known, He speaks of pardoned sins; While grace divine, and heav'nly love, In its own glory shines. "Behold the Lamb of God," he cnes. "That takes our guilt away; I saw the Spirit o'er his head, On his baptizing day.] "Be every vale exalted high, Sink every mountain low; The proud must stoop, and humble souls Shall his salvation know. "The heathen realms with Isr'el's land Shall join in sweet accord And all that's born of man shall see The glory of the Lord. "Behold the Morning Star arise, Ye that in darkness sit; He marks the path that leads to peace, And guides our doubtful feet."

My lowliness he did regard, Exalting me by his own choice. From this day all shall call me blest, For he has done great things for me, Of all great names his is the best, For it is holy; strong is he. 2 His mercy goes to all who fear, From age to age and to all parts. His arm of strength to all is near; He scatters those who have proud hearts. He casts the mighty from their throne And raises those of low degree; He feeds the hungry as his own, The rich depart in poverty. 3 He raised his servant Israel, Rememb'ring his eternal grace, As from of old he did foretell To Abraham and all his race. O Father, Son and Spirit blest, In threefold Name are you adored, To you be ev'ry prayer addressed, From age to age the only Lord. Used With Tune: MAGNIFICAT (Joncas)
