One Was Old, Another Barren
O Glorious Day
Author: J. R. Peacey (1896-1971) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Luke 1:26-38 First Line: O glorious day when God's love overflowed Lyrics: 1 O glorious day when God's love overflowed
and all its beauty on the earth bestowed;
the Spirit gave all creatures life and health
and on them breathed the life of God's own self.
In all creation, in each tiny flower,
in every life we see God's living power.
2 More glorious still that day of storm and flame
when God on Sinai's mount to Moses came;
when Israel, from the waters brought ashore,
received its calling and God's holy law.
For on that day of God, the great I AM,
the spirit on the chosen people came.
3 Most wonderful of all that holy dawn
in which the Saviour of the world was born!
The Spirit rest on a Hebrew maid
and God in human form came to our aid.
Then, Holy Spirit,your great love excelled
when we our God in flesh and blood beheld.
4 Christ rose from death, victorious over sin;
the ascended Lord now reigns, the world to win;
and on the church that it may witness give,
God's love was poured, that through it all might live.
On this fresh Pentecost, life-giving Lord,
come, spread through us your saving love abroad. Topics: Pentecost Used With Tune: YORKSHIRE

O Thank the LORD, for He Is Good
O behold the Angel flying
Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Luke 1:26-36 Lyrics: 1 O behold the Angel flying,
From the shining courts above;
Gabriel with a message smiling,
In the softest strains of love.
2 See him bending toward the city,
Where the Virgin Mary dwelt;
See the tender love and pity,
Holy Angels for us felt.
3 Hear the Angel speaking to her,
Hail thou blessed virgin hail;
I m come with happy tidings,
See the promise cannot fail.
4 Happy virgin the most chosen
You must bear the son of God;
Christ must leave his native heaven,
And must make the promise good.
5 Yet we find the frighted virgin,
Cast it in her mind to know,
The manner of the salutation,
And what God would haver her do.
6 Hear the Angel further speaking
Fear not Mary, thou hast found
Favour in the sight of heaven,
Good will echoes, hear the sound.
7 O methinks the air around her,
Smelt as sweet as Sharon's rose,
While the heavens did surround her,
And the glorious scene disclose.
8 See the virgin's sweet submission,
Here behold thy hand-maid Lord,
Let me have any condition,
Which shall best fulfil thy word.
9 Here I am tho' most unworthy,
Feel committed to thy hand,
Yet can I become a mother,
Since I never knew a man.
10 Then the Angel, blessed Seraph,
Told what God would further do;
He will send his holy spirit,
And will overshadow you.
11 This will make the blessed infant,
Holy from the birth or womb,
He shall save the house of Jacob,
Save this people from their doom.
12 Thus salvation like a river,
Rises even to a flood,
Sinner, drink in it forever,
With your Saviour and your God.
O behold the Angel flying
