Song of Zechariah

Author: Michael Perry Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #137 (1995) Hymnal Title: Chalice Hymnal First Line: Blessed be the God of Israel Lyrics: RESPONSE Blessed be the God of Israel, who comes to set us free. R Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who has come to set the chosen people free. God has raised up for us a mighty Savior from the house of David. Through the holy prophets, God promised of old to save us from our enemies, from the hands of all who hate us; to show mercy to our forebears, and to remember the holy covenant. This was the oath God swore to our ancestor Abraham, to set us free from the hands of our enemies, free to worship without fear, holy and righteous in God's sight, all the days of our life. R And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way, to give God's people knowledge of salvation by the forgiveness of their sins. In the tender compassion of our God the dawn from on high shall break upon us, to shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, and to guide our feet into the way of peace.

Her Baby, Newly Breathing

Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #158 (1995) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Hymnal Title: Chalice Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Her baby, newly breathing, with wailing needful cry, by Mary kissed and cradled, is lulled in lullaby. Long months of hope and waiting, the thrill and fear of birth, are crowned with exultation, and God is on the earth. 2 The eyes that gaze at Mary have yet to name or trace the world of shape and color, or recognize a face; yet Holiness Eternal is perfectly expressed in hands that clutch unthinking, and lips that tug the breast. 3 The milk of life is flowing as Mary guides and feeds her wordless Word, embodied in infant joys and needs. Enormous, formless strivings, and yearnings deep and wide, be-cradled in communion, are fed and satisfied. 4 How mother-like the Wisdom that carried and gave birth to all things, seen and unseen, and nurtured infant earth: unstinting, unprotected, prepared for nail and thorn, constricted into maleness, and of a woman born.
