Nothing Is Impossible with God
There's not an echo round me
Author: Madame Guyon; William Cowper Hymnal: Translations from the French of Madame de la Mothe Guion #6 (1800) Scripture: Luke 1:26-47 Lyrics:
There's not an echo round me,
But I am glad should learn,
How pure a fire has found me,
The love with which I burn.
For none attends with pleasure
To what I would reveal;
They slight me out of measure,
And laugh at all I feel.
The rocks receive less proudly
The story of my flame;
When I approach, they loudly
Reverberate his name.
I speak to them of sadness,
And comforts at a stand;
They bid me look for gladness,
And better days at hand.
Far from all habitation,
I heard a happy sound;
Big with the consolation,
That I have often found.
I said, “My lot is sorrow,
My grief has no alloy;”
The rocks replied—“Tomorrow,
Tomorrow brings thee joy.”
These sweet and sacred tidings,
What bliss it is to hear!
For, spite of all my chidings,
My weakness and my fear,
No sooner I receive them,
Than I forget my pain,
And, happy to believe them,
I love as much again.
I fly to scenes romantic,
Where never men resort;
For in an age so frantic
Impiety is sport.
For riot and confusion
They barter things above;
Condemning, as delusion,
The joy of perfect love.
In this sequestered corner,
None hears what I express;
Delivered from the scorner,
What peace do I possess!
Beneath the boughs reclining,
Or roving o'er the wild,
I live as undesigning
And harmless as a child.
No troubles here surprise me,
I innocently play,
While Providence supplies me,
And guards me all the day:
My dear and kind defender
Preserves me safely here,
From men of pomp and splendour,
Who fill a child with fear.

There's not an echo round me
Beam on us brightly, blessed day
Author: A. L. Waring Hymnal: Hymns and Meditations #6 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Luke 1:26-47 Lyrics:
Beam on us brightly, blessed day,
Dawn softly for our Savior's sake;
And waft thy sweetness o'er our way,
To draw us heavenward when we wake.
O holy life that shall not end,
Light that will never cease to be —
May every Sabbath–day we spend,
Add to our happiness in Thee.

One Was Old, Another Barren

O behold the Angel flying
Hymnal: Hymns on Various Subjects #18 (1792) 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.

For Your Wise, Creating Spirit
Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Hymnal: Faith That Lets Us Sing #30 (2017) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: Luke 1:30-33 First Line: For your wise, creating Spirit, Lyrics: 1 For your wise, creating Spirit,
blessing us in countless ways,
and your Living Word of mercy,
God, we offer you our praise.
From the waters of creation,
you brought forth a fertile land,
peopled it with men and women
meant to live by your command.
2 When in Noah’s time, we faltered,
you, with mercy and with love,
flooded us with tears of sorrow,
sent a rainbow and a dove.
And when we were slaves in Egypt,
each one longing to be free,
you led Moses on a pathway
through the waters of the sea.
3 When we wandered in the desert,
you showed us a flowing spring,
quenched our thirst and fed us manna,
though we doubted everything.
When, at last, we saw the Jordan.
and beyond, the Promised Land,
Joshua helped us cross the river,
guided by your faithful hand.
4 When our people walked in darkness,
you sent Light into our gloom:
Jesus, nurtured in the waters
of his mother Mary’s womb.
He was baptized in the Jordan,
he turned water into wine,
washed the feet of his disciples,
all his deeds a holy sign.
5 At the font now, God, we gather
as the friends of Jesus do,
to baptize your child beloved,
into life begun anew.
By your Spirit bless this water,
bless this child that we now name,
bless the people who are present.
May we all your love proclaim.
