Author: Gracia Grindal, 19430 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To a maid whose name was Mary, the angel Gabriel came. “Fear not,” the angel told her, “I come to bring good news; good news I come to tell you, good news, I say, good news.” 2 “For you are highly favoured by God the Lord of all, who even now is with you. You are on earth most blest; you are most blest, most blessed; God chose you, you are blest!” 3 But Mary was most troubled to hear the angel’s word. What was the angel saying? It troubled her to hear, to hear the angel’s message, it troubled her to hear, 4 “Fear not, for God is with you, and you shall bear a child. His name shall be called Jesus, God’s offspring from on high. And he shall reign forever, forever reign on high.” 5 “How shall this be?” said Mary, “I am not yet a wife.” The angel answered quickly, “The power of the Most High will come upon you shortly, your child shall be God’s child.” 6 As Mary heard the angel, she wondered at his words. “Behold, I am your handmaid,” she said unto her God. “So be it; I am ready according to your word.” Topics: Church Year Advent; Faith Scripture: Luke 1:26-38 Used With Tune: ANNUNCIATION

We Light the Advent Candles

Author: Gracia Grindal, 1943- Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 We light the Advent candles against the winter night, to welcome our Lord Jesus who is the world's True Light, to welcome our Lord Jesus who is the world's True Light. 2 The first one will remind us that Christ will soon return. We light it in the darkness and watch it gleam and burn, We light it in the darkness and watch it gleam and burn. 3 We light the second candle, and hear God's holy Word, it tells us, cling to Jesus, prepare to meet your Lord, it tells us, cling to Jesus, prepare to meet your Lord! 4 Three candles now are gleaming and show us the true way, rejoice, the Baptist cries out, your Lord has come today, rejoice, the Baptist cries out, your Lord has come today! 5 Four candles burning brightly announce that Christ has come, prepare, my heart, believe it, and give the Christ child room, prepare, my heart, believe it, and give the Christ child room.

God Knows

Author: J. J. Marley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O restless heart, why murmur? Lyrics: 1. O restless heart, why murmur? The sun is shining still, Though clouds may seem very near you, God knows, it is His will. Though clouds may seem very near you, God knows, it is His will. 2. He knows the weary heartache, The longing and unrest, Come unto Me, He whispers, And lean upon My breast. Come unto Me, He whispers, And lean upon My breast. 3. What most you wish and long for, Might only bring you pain; You cannot see the future God’s purpose to explain. You cannot see the future God’s purpose to explain. 4. So trust, faint heart, thy master, He doeth all things well, His love to you is boundless, And more than tongue can tell. His love to you is boundless, And more than tongue can tell.
