Come, O long-expected Jesus
Earth was waiting, spent and restless
Author: W. C. Smith (1824-1908) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #54 (1987) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Advent 4 The Annunciation Lyrics: 1 Earth was waiting, spent and restless,
with a mingled hope and fear,
faithful men and women praying,
'Surely, Lord, the day is near:
the Desire of all the nations —
it is time he should appear!'
2 then the Spirit of the Highest
to a virgin meek came down,
and he burdened her with blessing,
and he pained he with renown;
for she bore the Lord's anointed
for his cross and for his crown.
3 Earth has groaned and laboured for him
since the ages first began,
for in him was hid the secret
which through all the ages ran —
Son of Mary, Son of David,
Son of God, and Son of Man. Languages: English Tune Title: LINGWOOD

The Angel Gabriel From Heaven Came
Author: Sabine Baring-Gould Hymnal: Worship in Song #57 (1996) Topics: Annunciation Lyrics: 1 The angel Gabriel from heaven came,
His wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame;
"All hail," said he, "thou lowly maiden Mary,
Most highly favored lady."
Gloria!
2 "For know, a blessed Mother thou shalt be,
All generations laud and honor thee,
Thy Son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold,
Most highly favored lady."
Gloria!
3 Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head,
"To me be as it pleaseth God," she said,
"My soul shall laud and magnify God's holy Name."
Most highly favored lady.
Gloria!
4 Of her, Emmanuel, the Christ, was born
In Bethlehem, all on a Christmas morn,
And Christian folk throughout the world will ever say
"Most highly favored lady."
Gloria! Scripture: Luke 1:26-34 Tune Title: GABRIEL'S MESSAGE
The Angel Gabriel From Heaven Came
Once in Royal David's City
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Hymnal: Voices United #62 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: Annunciation Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city
stood a lowly cattle-shed,
where a mother laid her baby
in a manger for his bed.
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little child.
2 He came down to earth from heaven,
who, with God is over all,
and his shelter was a stable,
and his cradle was a stall.
There among the poor and lowly
lived on earth our Saviour holy.
3 For he is our lifelong pattern;
daily, when on earth he grew;
he was tempted, scorned, rejected,
tears and smiles like us he knew.
Thus he feels for all our sadness,
and he shares in all our gladness.
4 And our eyes at last shall see him,
through his own redeeming love;
for that child who seemed so helpless
is our Lord in heaven above;
and he leads his children on
to the place where he is gone. Languages: English Tune Title: IRBY

The form and fashion of a slave;

His fallen creatures, all, to save.

Became, in ways beyond all thought,
The chosen vessel of his grace.

Sang praise above the silent field,
To shepherds poor the Lord most high,
the one great shepherd, was revealed.Amen.

And Holy Ghost, eternally. Amen Languages: English Tune Title: A SOLIS ORTUS CARDINE

Author: John Julian Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #71 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Topics: The Day of the Annunciation Lyrics: 1 O God of God! O Light of light!
Thou Prince of Peace, Thou King of kings,
To Thee, where angels know no night,
The song of praise forever rings:
To Him who sits upon the throne,
The Lamb once slain for sinful men,
Be honor, might, all by Him won;
Glory and praise! Amen, Amen!
2 Deep in the prophets' sacred page,
Grand in the poets' winged word,
Slowly in type, from age to age,
Nations beheld their coming Lord;
Till through the deep Judean night
Rang out the song, "Good will to men!"
Hymned by the first-born sons of light,
Re-echoed now, "Good will!" Amen!
3 Nations afar, in ignorance deep;
Isles of the sea where darkness lay;
These hear Thy voice, they wake from sleep,
And throng with joy the upward way.
They cry with us, "Send forth Thy light,
O Lamb, once slain for sinful men;
Burst Satan's bonds, O God of might;
Set all men free! Amen, Amen!"
4 Sing to the Lord a glorious song,
Sing to His Name, His love forthtell;
Sing on, heaven's host, His praise prolong;
Sing, ye who now on earth do dwell:
"Worthy the Lamb for sinners slain;
From angels, praise; and thanks from men;
Worthy the Lamb, enthroned to reign,
Glory and power! Amen, Amen!"
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 43:3 Languages: English Tune Title: PETERBOROUGH
O God of God! O Light of Light!

By God the Father given,

No star so brightly shining
As he, our Morning Star.

O bright and holy morn!

The Christ, the virgin-born,
Grim death to vanquish for us,
To open heav'n before us
And bring us life again.

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.

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!" Languages: English Tune Title: HERR CHRIST, DER EINIG GOTTS SOHN

on Mary's lap is sleeping?

This, this is Christ the King,
whom shepherds guard and angels sing;
haste, haste to bring him laud,
the babe, the son of Mary!

where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christians, fear; for sinners here
the silent Word is pleading. [Refrain]

let loving hearts enthrone him. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: GREENSLEEVES
