Jumping For Joy

Tune: Es Ist Ein Ross Entsprungen (= A rose is sprung up)

(\'A great and mighty wonder\')

Luke 1 v.39 - 45

**********

Mary to hills of Judah

Went swift, for she did stir

Entered house of her cousin

Showing the good news then

 

Chorus

Tell of the new babe\'s births

To come here unto this earth

John Baptist and Jesus

 

Zacharias* she did meet (*John\'s father)

And Elisabeth^ greet (^John\'s mother)

When she did hear Mary\'s voice

Babe in her womb rejoice - Chorus

 

Elisabeth, she was filled

With the Spirit, fears stilled

With loud voice she did proclaim

Blessed Mary be your name - Chorus

 

Blessed you be among women

And fruit of your womb, then

Why be to me this honour

That you on me confer? - Chorus

 

Fro you, mother of my Lord

According to His word

For soon as your greeting voiced

My babe heard, leaped, rejoiced - Chorus

 

And blessed are you that believed

Favour you have received

Those things the Lord said to you

He will sure fulfil, do - Chorus
