Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Romans 14:7-8 Used With Tune: [We Live Not for Ourselves]

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Be strong in the Lord in armor of light Lyrics: 1 Be strong in the Lord in armor of light, with helmet and sword, with shield for the fight; on prayer be dependent, be belted and shod, in breastplate resplendent: the armor of God. 2 Integrity gird you round to impart the truth of His Word as truth in your heart; his righteousness wearing as breastplate of mail, his victory sharing, be strong to prevail. 3 With eagerness shod, stand firm in your place, or go forth for God with news of his grace; no foe shall disarm you nor force you to yield, no arrow can harm you with faith as your shield. 4 Though Satan presume to test you and try, in helmet and plume, your head shall be high; beset by temptation be true to your Lord, your helmet, salvation, and Scripture, your sword. 5 So wield well your blade, rejoice in its powers, fight on undismayed for Jesus is ours! Then in him victorious your armor lay down, to praise, ever glorious, his cross and his crown.

You are on earth most blest; you are most blest, most blessed. God chose you; you are blest!” 3 But Mary was most troubled to hear the angel’s word. What was the angel saying? It troubled her to hear, to hear the angel’s message; it troubled her to hear. 4 “Fear not, for God is with you, and you shall bear a child. His name shall be called Jesus, God’s offspring from on high. And he shall reign forever, forever reign on high.” 5 “How shall this be?” said Mary, “I am not yet a wife.” The angel answered quickly, “The power of the Most High will come upon you shortly; your child shall be God’s child.” 6 As Mary heard the angel, she wondered at his words. “Behold, I am your handmaid,” she said unto her God. “So be it; I am ready according to your word.” Topics: Annunciation; Biblical Names and Places Mary; Biblical Names and Places Gabriel; Christmas/Birth of Christ; Incarnation of Christ Scripture: Luke 1:26-38 Used With Tune: ANNUNCIATION

Transfigured by his likeness we make the vision known, reflecting in our faces the radiance of his own. 4 The king of grace inspires us to love him more and more, to grasp our hope more firmly and make our calling sure. Christ Jesus, Lord and Savior, to this dark world you came; and for the dawn of heaven, we praise your holy name.
