There Came A Message From The Sky

Author: Thomas H. Kingo; Paul C. Paulsen Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.4.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There came a message from the sky: God has the earth befriended; His Son who dwells in Heaven high, By angel hosts attended, Will now your flesh and blood put on As David’s Son; Your wretched state is ended. 2 It first to Nazareth did come By Gabriel expounded; To Mary, in her humble home, So wonderful it sounded: “O Mary, hail, thou shalt not fear, The Lord is near, To thee hath grace abounded! 3 “Thou shalt a son conceive and bear, Who is the Prince of Heaven, Who shall to David’s throne be heir And Jacob’s house be given; He shall extend to every race His reign of grace, His kingdom, like a leaven. 4 “The Holy Spirit shall to thee His boundless power render, Abundant shall the mercy be From Him, thy strong defender; This child is therefore from above, Whom thou shalt love As mother kind and tender.” 5 Come, Christmas-Child, and be my guest, Give me Thy Holy Spirit; Prepare my heart and make it blest Forever through Thy merit, That I at last may dwell with Thee, Thy kingdom see, And all its gifts inherit. Used With Tune: ESBJERG Text Sources: Tr.: Hymnal for Church and Home (Blair, Neb.: Danish Lutheran Publishing House, 1927)

On Mary, virgin undefiled

Author: Anon. ; H. Thomissön Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.4.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 On Mary, virgin undefiled, Did God bestow His favor; She bore a son, the spotless child, To Him be praise forever! He hath us all from sin set free; Our stay be He, And rest eternal give us! 2 Were all the sages here below All human wisdom showing, The mystery of Christ to know Were far beyond their knowing; For full of grace and truth is He; O may He be Our comfort in our dying! 3 Inspired of God the prophets spake, And faithful proved their saying, That Christ the bonds of sin doth break, Deliverance conveying To all by Satan's wiles enslaved; All shall be saved Who trust in Him, believing. 4 O Root of Jesse, David's Son, And Jacob's Star of heaven! Thou art the Christ, the blessed One; Thy name all praise be given: By grace Thou hast redeemed us all From Adam's fall, And Thou wilt guide and tend us. 5 O could I speak in every tongue, The Scripture's deep expounding, Were in my mouth the angel's song That through high heaven is sounding, I on my knees would humbly fall, On Jesus call, And worship Him forever! 6 My sins are countless as the sands, My crimes, O God, are crying, Deliver me from sin's dread bands And save me, Lord, when dying; O let me not, for evil past, Be lost at last, Grant me Thy grace, I pray Thee!
