Blessed Be The God Of Israel
Author: Michael Perry Hymnal: Catholic Book of Worship III #13E (1994) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Hymnal Title: Catholic Book of Worship III Lyrics: 1 Blessed be the God of Israel,
Who comes to set us free,
Who visits and redeems us,
And grants us liberty.
The prophets spoke of mercy,
Of freedom and release;
God shall fulfill the promise
To bring our people peace.
2 Now from the house of David
A child of grace is giv'n;
A Savior comes among us
To raise us up to heaven.
Before him goes the herald,
Forerunner in the way
The prophet of salvation,
The messenger of Day.
3 Where once were fear and darkness
The sun begins to rise,
The dawning of forgiveness
Upon the sinners' eyes,
To guide the feet of pilgrims
Along the paths of peace:
O bless our God and Savior

How Lovely, God, How Lovely
Author: Arlo D. Duba Hymnal: Celebrating Grace Hymnal #50 (2010) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Hymnal Title: Celebrating Grace Hymnal Lyrics: 1 How lovely, God, how lovely
is Your abiding place;
my soul is longing, fainting,
to feast upon Your grace.
The sparrow finds a shelter,
a place to build her nest;
and so Your temple calls us
with in its walls to rest.
2 In Your blest courts to worship,
O God, a single day
is better than a thousand
if I from You should stray.
I’d rather keep the entrance
and claim You as my Lord,
than revel in the riches
the ways of sin afford.
3 A sun and shield forever
are You, O Lord Most High;
You shower us with blessings;
no good will You deny.
The saints, Your grace receiving,
from strength to strength shall go,
and from their life shall rivers
of blessing overflow. Topics: God the Father Sustainer; Love for God; Praise and Adoration-God Scripture: Psalm 84 Languages: English Tune Title: MERLE'S TUNE

Song of Zechariah
Author: Michael Perry Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #137 (1995) Hymnal Title: Chalice Hymnal First Line: Blessed be the God of Israel Lyrics: RESPONSE
Blessed be the God of Israel,
who comes to set us free.
R
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
who has come to set the chosen people free.
God has raised up for us
a mighty Savior from the house of David.
Through the holy prophets, God promised of old
to save us from our enemies,
from the hands of all who hate us;
to show mercy to our forebears,
and to remember the holy covenant.
This was the oath God swore to our ancestor Abraham,
to set us free from the hands of our enemies,
free to worship without fear,
holy and righteous in God's sight,
all the days of our life. R
And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High,
for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way,
to give God's people knowledge of salvation
by the forgiveness of their sins.
In the tender compassion of our God
the dawn from on high shall break upon us,
to shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death,
and to guide our feet into the way of peace. R Topics: God Known in Jesus Christ Advent; Canticles; Christian Year: Advent; Jesus Christ; Jesus Christ: Advent Scripture: Luke 1:68-79 Languages: English Tune Title: [MERLE'S TUNE]
Song of Zechariah
Her Baby, Newly Breathing
Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #158 (1995) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Hymnal Title: Chalice Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Her baby, newly breathing,
with wailing needful cry,
by Mary kissed and cradled,
is lulled in lullaby.
Long months of hope and waiting,
the thrill and fear of birth,
are crowned with exultation,
and God is on the earth.
2 The eyes that gaze at Mary
have yet to name or trace
the world of shape and color,
or recognize a face;
yet Holiness Eternal
is perfectly expressed
in hands that clutch unthinking,
and lips that tug the breast.
3 The milk of life is flowing
as Mary guides and feeds
her wordless Word, embodied
in infant joys and needs.
Enormous, formless strivings,
and yearnings deep and wide,
be-cradled in communion,
are fed and satisfied.
4 How mother-like the Wisdom
that carried and gave birth
to all things, seen and unseen,
and nurtured infant earth:
unstinting, unprotected,
prepared for nail and thorn,
constricted into maleness,
and of a woman born. Topics: God Known in Jesus Christ Birth; Birth; Christian Year: Christmas; Jesus Christ; Jesus Christ: Birth Languages: English Tune Title: MERLE'S TUNE
