The Only Son from Heaven
Author: Arther T. Russell, 1806-74; Elizabeth Cruciger, c. 1500-35 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.6 Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: Annunciation of Our Lord, The Lyrics: 1 The only Son from heaven,
Foretold by ancient seers,
By God the Father given,
In human form appears.
No sphere his light confining,
No star so brightly shining
As he, our Morning Star.
2 O time of God appointed,
O bright and holy morn!
He comes, the king anointed,
The Christ, the virgin-born,
Grim death to vanquish for us,
To open heav'n before us
And bring us life again.
3 Awaken, Lord, our spirit
To know and love you more,
In faith to stand unshaken,
In spirit to adore,
That we, through this world moving,
Each glimpse of heaven proving,
May reap its fullness there.
4 O Father, here before you
With God the Holy Ghost
And Jesus, we adore you,
O pride of angel host:
Before you mortals lowly
Cry, "Holy, holy, holy,
O blessed Trinity!" Used With Tune: HERR CHRIST, DER EINIG GOTTS SOHN

The Annunciation
Author: F. Abair Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Annunciation First Line: One day while Mary knelt in prayer Lyrics: 1 One day while Mary knelt in prayer
She saw an angel standing there.
His glory filled the dwelling place.
He said to her, "Hail, full of Grace!"
2 Now Mary feared and bowed her head,
"Oh, do not hear," the angel said,
"For God shall send His Son to thee.
His holy Mother, thou shalt be."
3 Then Mary spoke the blessed word:
"Behold the Handmaid of the Lord.
As thou hast said, so be it done."
The Son of God became her Son.

O Jesu Christ, som Manddom tog
Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Annunciation Evening Lyrics: 1 O Jesu Christ, som Manddom tog
I rene Jomfru-Live,
Stor Kjærlighed dig dertil drog,
Vort Haab saa vilde du blive,
Du saa vor Synd og store Nød,
At os stod for den evige Død,
Os ˙elved stod aabent.
2 Det lodst du da forbarme dig,
Du kunde det ei lide,
At Djævlen tog os saa med sig,
Derfor saa vilde du stride,
Gavst dig saa her til Jorden ned,
Og gjorde os en evig Fred
Alt med din Død og Pine.
3 Og saa du sagde os det til,
At Troen vi skulle have,
Thi du est baade god og mild
Og vilos alle skaane,
Om Tro vi sætte fast derpaa,
At det skal med os være saa,
Som du os siger fore.
4 Du vorden est for Broder kjær,
Os til stor Pris og Ære,
Og altid vil os være nær,
Hvad kan man mere begjære?
Er det os ei en Glæde skjøn,
VorBroder er Guds eneste Søn,
Hvo kan os nu fordærve?
5 Pris være dig evindelig,
Som os den Naade beviste,
At vi nu er Guds Børn med dig,
O kjære Broder Christe!
Saamaa nu hver Mand være glad,
Og takke Gud i allen Stad,
Hun er vor kjære Fader.
O Jesu Christ, som Manddom tog
Her Virgin eyes saw God incarnate born
Author: Thomas Ken, 1637-1711 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: The Annunciation March 25th Lyrics: 1 Her Virgin eyes saw God incarnate born,
When she to Bethl'em came that happy morn;
How high her raptures then began to swell,
None but her own omniscient Son can tell.
2 As Eve when she her fontal sin reviewed,
Wept for herself and all she should include,
Blest Mary with man's Saviour in embrace
Joyed for herself and for all human race.
3 All saints are by her son's dear influence blest,
She kept the very Fountain at her breast;
The Son adored and nursed by the sweet Maid
A thousandfold of love for love repaid.
4 Heaven with transcendent joys her entrance graced,
Next to his throne her Son his Mother placed;
And here below, now she's of heaven possest,
All generations are to call her blest. Used With Tune: FARLEY CASTLE

Now the Blessed Dayspring
Author: Mary Ann Thomson, (1834-) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: The Day of the Annunciation Lyrics: 1 Now the blessed Dayspring
Cometh from on high;
Now, the world's Redeemer,
To her aid draws nigh;
Bearer of the tidings
From the throne of light,
To a lowly maiden,
Speeds an angel bright.
2 In the chosen daughter
Of King David's line,
God fulfills the promise
Of King Ahaz's sign:
Gabriel hath spoken;
Mary hath believed;
And, behold, a virgin
Hath a Son conceived.
3 Though He take our nature,
Linked to low estate,
Though He stoop to suffer,
Yet shall He be great;
Though His crown and scepter
Be of thorn and reed,
His shall be the kingdom
Sworn to David's Seed.
4 Light to light the Gentiles,
Bending at His throne;
Glory to His people,
When His sway they own;
He shall reign for ever,
King of kings confessed,
And all tribes and kindreds
Shall in Him be blest.
Amen.
Amen. Used With Tune: URSWICKE
