Author: Sabine Baring Gould, 1834-1924 Meter: 10.10.12.10 Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: Mary, Mother of God Lyrics: 1 The angel Gabriel from heaven came,
His wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame:
"From God, all hail," the angel said to Mary,
"Most highly favored lady." Gloria!

by whom we shall to God be reconciled;
his name shall be Emmanuel, the long foretold:
"Most highly favored lady." Gloria!
3 Then gentle Mary humbly bowed her head:
"To me be as it pleases God," she said,
"My soul shall praise and magnify his holy name."
"Most highly favored lady." Gloria!
4 Of her Emmanuel, the Christ, was born
In Bethlehem, upon that Christmas morn,
And Christian folk throughout the world will ever say:
"Most highly favored lady." Gloria!

life is beginning,
fragile as blossom,
strong as the earth.
Shaped in a person,
love has new meaning.
Parents and people
sing at the birth.

make celebration;
joy full of promise,
laughter through tears.
Naming and blessing,
bring dedication,
humble in purpose
over the years.

new every morning,
Mother and Father,
Partner and Friend,
freeing, forgiving,
lift all our loving
into your presence,
joy without end. Used With Tune: BUNESSAN
Wonder of Wonders
Christians, awake, salute the happy morn
Author: John Byrom, 1692-1763 Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 198 hymnals Topics: Saints Days and Holy Days Mary, the Mother of th Lord Lyrics: 1 Christians, awake, salute the happy morn,
whereon the Saviour of the world was born;
rise to adore the mystery of love,
which hosts of angels chanted from above;
with them the joyful tidings first begun
of God incarnate and the Virgin's son.
2 Then to the watchful shepherds it was told,
who heard the angelic herald's voice, 'Behold,
I bring good tidings of a Saviour's birth
to you and all the nations on the earth;
this day has God fulfilled his promised word,
this day is born a Saviour, Christ the Lord.'
3 He spoke; and straightway the celestial choir
in hymns of joy, unknown before, conspire.
The praises of redeeming love they sang,
and heaven's whole orb with hallelujahs rang:
God's highest glory was their anthem still,
peace upon earth to people of good-will.
4 To Bethlehem straight the enlightened shepherds ran
to see the wonder of our God made man,
and found, with Joseph and the blessèd Maid,
her son, the Saviour, in a manger laid;
amazed, the wondrous story they proclaim,
the first apostles of his infant fame.
5 Like Mary, let us ponder in our mind
God's wondrous love in saving humankind;
trace we the Babe, who has retrieved our loss,
from the poor manger to the bitter cross;
tread in his steps, assisted by his grace,
until in heaven God's people take their place.
6 There may we hope, the angelic thrones among,
to sing, redeemed, a glad triumphal song:
he that was born upon this joyful day
around us all his glory shall display;
saved by his love, unceasing we shall sing
eternal praise to heaven's almighty King. Scripture: Luke 2:8-14 Used With Tune: STOCKPORT
Christians, awake, salute the happy morn

And see what our Father in heaven above
Has sent to us all on this earth with his love.
2 O see in the manger so meek and so mild,
O see in the soft light the heavenly Child,
In swaddling clothes folded, his beauty more sweet
Than angels, whose voices his lowly birth greet.
3 His bed, little children, a manger with hay;
His Mother and Joseph in ecstasy pray,
The shepherds in wonder their glad worship bring,
While chorus of angels sweet Glorias sing. Used With Tune: IHR KINDERLEIN, KOMMET
