AN ANGEL SPOKE

Alternate Tune: LANCASHIRE “Lead On, O King Eternal”
An angel spoke to Mary,
“All Hail, Blest Virgin dear,
You soon will have a baby.”
His words brought her great fear.
“How can this be?” she asked him.
“I’ve never been with man.”
The angel reassured her,
“All this is in God’s plan.”
An angel spoke to Joseph,
When he was lost in grief.
The words were full of comfort,
They brought him deep relief.
He journeyed far with Mary
And came to Beth’lem’s town.
There, in a lowly manger,
They laid their Baby down.
An angel spoke to shepherds,
Among their flock that night.
The men came to the stable,
Awe-stricken by the sight.
They knelt before the Baby,
As parents hovered near.
Then on their way, returning,
The shepherds spread good cheer.
An angel speaks in our day:
“To you a Child is born,
Go share the blessed tidings
With those who are forlorn:
This Child has come to save you,
Down from His home above.
As you accept His blessings,
Your hearts will fill with love.”
