On Mary, virgin undefiled
Author: Anon. ; H. Thomissön Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.4.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 On Mary, virgin undefiled,
Did God bestow His favor;
She bore a son, the spotless child,
To Him be praise forever!
He hath us all from sin set free;
Our stay be He,
And rest eternal give us!
2 Were all the sages here below
All human wisdom showing,
The mystery of Christ to know
Were far beyond their knowing;
For full of grace and truth is He;
O may He be
Our comfort in our dying!
3 Inspired of God the prophets spake,
And faithful proved their saying,
That Christ the bonds of sin doth break,
Deliverance conveying
To all by Satan's wiles enslaved;
All shall be saved
Who trust in Him, believing.
4 O Root of Jesse, David's Son,
And Jacob's Star of heaven!
Thou art the Christ, the blessed One;
Thy name all praise be given:
By grace Thou hast redeemed us all
From Adam's fall,
And Thou wilt guide and tend us.
5 O could I speak in every tongue,
The Scripture's deep expounding,
Were in my mouth the angel's song
That through high heaven is sounding,
I on my knees would humbly fall,
On Jesus call,
And worship Him forever!
6 My sins are countless as the sands,
My crimes, O God, are crying,
Deliver me from sin's dread bands
And save me, Lord, when dying;
O let me not, for evil past,
Be lost at last,
Grant me Thy grace, I pray Thee! Topics: The Church Year Fifth Sunday in Lent; The Church Year Fifth Sunday in Lent Used With Tune: [On Mary, virgin undefiled]

There Came A Message From The Sky
Author: Thomas H. Kingo; Paul C. Paulsen Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.4.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There came a message from the sky:
God has the earth befriended;
His Son who dwells in Heaven high,
By angel hosts attended,
Will now your flesh and blood put on
As David’s Son;
Your wretched state is ended.
2 It first to Nazareth did come
By Gabriel expounded;
To Mary, in her humble home,
So wonderful it sounded:
“O Mary, hail, thou shalt not fear,
The Lord is near,
To thee hath grace abounded!
3 “Thou shalt a son conceive and bear,
Who is the Prince of Heaven,
Who shall to David’s throne be heir
And Jacob’s house be given;
He shall extend to every race
His reign of grace,
His kingdom, like a leaven.
4 “The Holy Spirit shall to thee
His boundless power render,
Abundant shall the mercy be
From Him, thy strong defender;
This child is therefore from above,
Whom thou shalt love
As mother kind and tender.”
5 Come, Christmas-Child, and be my guest,
Give me Thy Holy Spirit;
Prepare my heart and make it blest
Forever through Thy merit,
That I at last may dwell with Thee,
Thy kingdom see,
And all its gifts inherit. Used With Tune: ESBJERG Text Sources: Tr.: Hymnal for Church and Home (Blair, Neb.: Danish Lutheran Publishing House, 1927)
