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 will 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 Scripture: Luke 1:26-28 Languages: English Tune Title: ANNUNCIATION

Watchman, Tell Us of the Night

Author: John Bowring Hymnal: PH1990 #20 (1990) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1 Watchman, tell us of the night, What its signs of promise are. Traveler, o'er yon mountain's height, See that glory-beaming star. Watchman, does its beauteous ray Aught of joy or hope foretell? Traveler, yes; it brings the day, Promised day of Israel. 2 Watchman, tell us of the night; Higher yet that star ascends. Traveler, blessedness and light, Peace and truth its course portends. Watchman, will its beams alone Gild the spot that gave them birth? Traveler, ages are its own; See, it bursts o'er all the earth. 3 Watchman, tell us of the night, For the morning seems to dawn. Traveler, darkness takes its flight, Doubt and terror are withdrawn. Watchman, let thy wanderings cease; Hasten to your quiet home. Traveler, lo! the Prince of Peace, Lo! the Son of God is come!
