When Mary Hugged Her Newborn Son

TALLIS’ CANON LM (“All Praise to Thee, My God, This Night” PH#542)

When Mary hugged her newborn son,

She pondered all that God had done.

Could she know all her child would be--

The life he’d bring humanity?

"There's Not a Thing That God Can't Do!"
WINCHESTER OLD CM (“While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks”)

"There's not a thing that God can't do!"
The angel said. "Not one!
For Mary, God has favored you
And you will bear God's Son."

John Came Preaching, Bearing Witness
REGENT SQUARE 8.7.8.7.8.7 (“Angels, from the Realms of Glory”)

John came preaching, bearing witness,
Pointing to God's only Son.
He proclaimed the truth with boldness:
"Now believe! God's light has come!"
Yet he would not be the focus;
He proclaimed a greater One.

O God, We Hear Your Word of Grace
CAROL CMD (“It Came Upon the Midnight Clear”)

O God, we hear your word of grace;
The Psalmist tells us this:
That love and faith will soon embrace
And peace and justice kiss.
