deeply wailing, deeply wailing, deeply wailing,
shall the true Messiah see.

And mighty Things his Hand hath done;
His over-shadowing Power and Grace
Makes her the Mother of his Son.

And endless Uears prolong her Fame;
But God alone must be ador'd;
Holy and reverend is his Name.]

His Mercy stands for ever sure:
From Age to Age his Promise lives,
And the Performance is secure.

In thee shall all the Earth be blest;
The Mem'ry of that ancient Word
Lay long in his eternal Breast.

No more the Gentiles lie forlorn;
Lo, the Desire of Nations comes;
Behold, the promis'd Seed is born! Scripture: Luke 1:26-55

as we, by love, for love were made.
Your living likeness still we bear,
though marred, dishonoured, disobeyed.
We come, with all our heart and mind
your call to hear, your love to find.
2 We come with self-inflicted pains
of broken trust and chosen wrong,
half-free, half-bound by inner chains,
by social forces swept along,
by powers and systems close confined,
yet seeking hope for humankind.
3 Great God, in Christ you call our name
and then receive us as your own,
not through some merit, right or claim,
but by your gracious love alone.
We strain to glimpse your mercy seat
and find you kneeling at our feet.
4 Then take the towel, and break the bread,
and humble us, and call us friends.
Suffer and serve till all are fed,
and show how grandly love intends
to work till all creation sings,
to fill all worlds, to crown all things.
5 Great God, in Christ you set us free
your life to live, your joy to share.
Give us your Spirit's liberty
to turn from guilt and dull despair
and offer all that faith can do
while love is making all things new. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 3:17 Used With Tune: MELITA
Great God, your love has called us here

our confidence and joy shall be,
the power of Satan breaking,
our peace eternal making.

for such a world of greed and hate?

and leave your crib behind you!
Let this be where the new life starts
for all who seek and find you.

for all your gifts this time of grace.

this world, and us, forever. Scripture: Isaiah 9:2 Used With Tune: ERMUNTRE DICH Text Sources: “Ermuntre dich, mein schwacher Geist,” Himmlische Lieder, 1641
