Tell Out, My Soul

Unnumbered blessings give my spirit voice;
tender to me the promise of his word;
in God my Savior shall my heart rejoice.

Make known his might, the deeds his arm has done;
his mercy sure, from age to age the same;
his holy name the Lord, the Mighty One.
3 Tell out, my soul, the greatness of his might!
Powers and dominions lay their glory by.
Proud hearts and stubborn wills are put to flight,
the hungry fed, the humble lifted high.

Firm is his promise, and his mercy sure.
Tell out, my soul, the greatness of the Lord
to children's children and forevermore!

Hymn 3
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 123 hymnals Scripture: Luke 1:30 First Line: Behold, the grace appears! Lyrics:
Behold, the grace appears!
The promise is fulfilled;
Mary, the wondrous virgin, bears,
And Jesus is the child.
[The Lord, the highest God,
Calls him his only Son;
He bids him rule the lands abroad,
And gives him David's throne.
O'er Jacob shall he reign
With a peculiar sway;
The nations shall his grace obtain,
His kingdom ne'er decay.]
To bring the glorious news
A heav'nly form appears;
He tells the shepherds of their joys,
And banishes their fears.
"Go, humble swains," said he,
"To David's city fly;
The promised infant born to-day
Doth in a manger lie."
"With looks and hearts serene,
Go visit Christ your King;
And straight a flaming troop was seen:
The shepherds heard them sing:
"Glory to God on high!
And heav'nly peace on earth;
Goodwill to men, to angels joy,
At the Redeemer's birth!
[In worship so divine,
Let saints employ their tongues;
With the celestial hosts we join,
And loud repeat their songs:
"Glory to God on high!
And heav'nly peace on earth;
Goodwill to men, to angels joy,
At our Redeemer's birth!"]

Blessed be the God of Israel who comes to set us
free
and raises up new hope for us: a branch from
David’s tree.
So have the prophets long declared that with a
mighty arm
God would turn back our enemies and all who wish
us harm.
2
With promised mercy will God still the covenant
recall,
the oath once sworn to Abraham, from foes to save
us all,
that we might worship without fear and offer lives of
praise,
in holiness and righteousness to serve God all our
days.
3
My child, as prophet of the Lord you will prepare the
way,
to tell God’s people they are saved from sin’s eternal
sway.
Then shall God’s mercy from on high shine forth
and never cease
to drive away the gloom of death and lead us into
peace.

promised in their faithful word;

let creation praise its Lord,
evermore and evermore.

angel hosts, his praises sing;
powers, dominions bow before him,

let no tongue on earth be silent,
every voice in concert ring,

To a Maid Engaged to Joseph
Author: Gracia Grindal Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Luke 1:26-28 Lyrics: 1 To a maid engaged to Joseph,
The angel Gabriel came.
“Fear not,” the angel told her,
“I come to bring good news,
Good news I come to tell you,
Good news, I say, good news.
2 “For you are highly favored
By God, the Lord of all,
Who even now is with you.
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.”

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.

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."

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.

My soul proclaims with wonder the greatness of the
Lord;
rejoicing in God’s goodness, my spirit is restored.
To me has God shown favor, to one the world
thought frail,
and every age will echo the angel’s first “All hail.”
2
God’s mercy shields the faithful and saves them
from defeat
with strength that turns to scatter the proud in their
conceit.
The mighty have been vanquished, the lowly lifted up.
The hungry find abundance; the rich, an empty cup.
3
To Abraham’s descendants the Lord will steadfast
prove,
for God has made with Israel a covenant of love.
My soul proclaims with wonder the greatness of the
Lord;
rejoicing in God’s goodness, my spirit is restored.

Now blest be Isr'l's Lord and God
Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Luke 1:68-79 Lyrics: 1 Now blest be Isr'el's Lord and God,
whose Mercy at our Need
Has visited his People's Grief,
and them from Bondage freed:
2 And rais'd in faithful David's House
Salvation, which of old,
E'er since the World itself began,
his Prophets had foretold.
3 To save us from our spiteful Foes,
and keep his Oath in mind,
Which He to Abr'am heretofore,
and to our Fathers sign'd.
4 That we, from Fear and Danger freed,
his Temple may frequent;
And all our Days, as in his Sight,
in Holy Life be spent.
5 And thou, O Child, shalt then be call'd
God's Prophet to declare
His Message, and before his Face
his Passage to prepare.
6 To give them Light who now in Shades
of Night and Death abide;
And in the Way that leads to Peace
our Footsteps safely guide.
Now blest be Isr'l's Lord and God

At the Name of Jesus
Author: Caroline M. Noel, 1817-77 Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 253 hymnals Scripture: Luke 1:31 Lyrics: 1 At the name of Jesus
Ev'ry knee shall bow,
Ev'ry tongue confess Him
King of glory now.
’Tis the Father’s pleasure
We should call Him Lord,
Who from the beginning
Was the mighty Word.
2 At His voice creation
Sprang at once to sight,
All the angel faces,
All the hosts of light,
Thrones and bright dominions,
Stars upon their way,
All the heav'nly orders
In their great array.
3 Humbled for a season,
To receive a name
From the lips of sinners
Unto whom He came,
Faithfully He bore it
Spotless to the last,
Brought it back victorious
When from death He passed;
4 Bore it up triumphant
With its human light,
Through all ranks of creatures
To the central height,
To the throne of Godhead,
To the Father’s breast,
Filled it with the glory
Of that perfect rest.
5 In your hearts enthrone Him;
There let Him subdue
All that is not holy,
All that is not true:
Crown Him as your Captain
In temptation's hour;
Let His will enfold you
In its light and pow'r.
6 Christians, this Lord Jesus
Shall return again
In His Father's glory,
With His angel train;
For all wreaths of empire
Meet upon His brow,
And our hearts confess Him
King of glory now.
7 Glory then to Jesus,
Who, the Prince of light,
To a world in darkness
Brought the gift of sight:
Praise to God the Father;
In the Spirit's love
Praise we all together
Him who reigns above.

Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence
Author: Gerard Moultrie Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 172 hymnals Scripture: Luke 1:77-79 Lyrics: 1 Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
and with fear and trembling stand;
ponder nothing earthly minded,
for with blessing in his hand
Christ our God to earth descendeth,
our full homage to demand.
2 King of kings, yet born of Mary,
as of old on earth he stood,
Lord of lords, in human vesture,
in the body and the blood,
he will give to all the faithful
his own self for heavenly food.
3 Rank on rank the host of heaven
spreads its vanguard on the way,
as the Light of light descendeth
from the realms of endless day,
that the powers of hell may vanish
as the shadows clear away.
4 At his feet the six-winged seraph,
cherubim, with sleepless eye,
veil their faces to the presence,
as with ceaseless voice they cry,
“Alleluia, alleluia,
alleluia, Lord most high!”
