Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #153 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Praise we the Lord this day,
This day so long foretold,
Whose promise shone with cheering ray
On waiting saints of old.
2 The prophet gave the sign
For faithful men to read;
A virgin born of David's line
Shall bear the promised Seed.
3 Ask not how this should be,
But worship and adore,
Like her whom heaven's majesty
Came down to shadow o'er.
4 Meekly she bowed her head
To hear the gracious word,
Mary, the pure and lowly maid,
The favoured of the Lord.
5 Blessed shall be her name
In all the Church on earth
Through whom that wondrous mercy came
The Incarnate Saviour's birth. Topics: Holy Days The Annunciation Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GEORGE
Praise we the Lord this day
