Tune: Carol (Willis)
(\'It came upon the midnight clear\')
Luke 1 v.30-38
********
Angel said to Mary, Fear not
For favoured is your lot
And behold, for you shall conceive
The power of God receive
For by His Holy Spirit you
Shall be the mother true
Of His Son Jesus, He shall come
On earth shall have His home
He shall be great, and shall called be
Son of the Highest, see
The Lord God shall give Him the throne
He shall rule, He alone
O\'er Israel and all nations
Mankind of all stations
Of His kingdom there shall be no
End, this revealed, this know
The holy child which shall be born
On that redemption morn
He shall the Son of God be called
God\'s promises not stalled
Elisabeth your cousin there
In Judah, too shall bare
A son*, with God no impossibles
Shall be, He fulfils all

* John the Baptist.
