Bearer of the World's Salvation

Author: Laurence Housman Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Bearer of the world's salvation, Lo, a virgin pure and mild, Humble-hearted, low in station, Form of beauty undefiled, Crown of Earth's anticipation, Comes the mother maid with child. 2. See in flesh so great a wonder By the pow'r of God ordained: Him, whose feet all worlds lay under, In a virgin's womb contained, Earthly bonds to put asunder, Righteousness from Heav'n has rained. 3. Mary sweet, with love o'erflowing, To the hills in haste she fares, On a kindred heart bestowing Blessing from the joy she bears, Waiting while with mystic showing Time the sacred birth prepares. 4. What fair joy o'ershown that dwelling, Called so great a guest to greet! What her joy whose love compelling Found a rest for Mary's feet. When, the bliss of time foretelling, Lo, the Voice and Word did meet! Topics: Vistation of Mary with Elizabeth Scripture: Luke 1:39-41 Used With Tune: URBS BEATA JERUSALEM
