Behold, the great creator makes

Author: Thomas Pestel (1585-1659) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 24 hymnals Scripture: Luke 1:34-45 Lyrics: 1 Behold, the great Creator makes himself a house of clay, in human flesh, our form he takes which he will bear alway. 2 Hark, how the wise eternal Word as a weak infant cries! In form of servant is the Lord, and God in cradle lies. 3 This wonder all the world amazed, it shook the starry frame; the hosts of heaven stood to gaze, and bless the Saviour's name. 4 Glad shepherds ran to view this sight; a choir of angels sings, and eastern sages with delight adore this King of kings. 5 Join then, all hearts that are not stone, to sing with choirs above and celebrate this Holy One, the God of peace and love.

[The Highest saw her low estate, And mighty things his hand hath done: His overshadowing power and grace Makes her the mother of his Son. Let ev'ry nation call her blest, And endless years prolong her fame; But God alone must be ador'd: Holy and reverend is his name.] To those that fear and trust the Lord, His mercy stands for ever sure: From age to age his promise lives, And the performance is secure. He spake to Abram and his seed, In thee shall all the earth be blessed;" The memory of that ancient word Lay long in his eternal breast. But now no more shall Isr'el wait, No more the Gentiles lie forlorn: Lo, the desire of nations comes; Behold, the promised seed is born!

My soul and spirit filled with joy

Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Luke 1:46-55 Lyrics: 1 My Soul and Spirit fill'd with Joy, my God and Saviour praise; Whose Goodness did from poor Estate his humble Hand-maid raise. 2 Me blest of God, the God of Pow'r, all Ages shall confess, Whose Name is joly, and whose Love his Saints shall ever bless. 3 The proud, and all their vain Designs, he quickly did confound: He cast the Mighty from their Seat, the meek and humble crown'd. 4 The jungry with good Things are fill'd, the rich with Hunger pin'd: He sent his Servant Isr'el help, and call'd his Love to mind; 5 Which to our Fathers heretofore, by Oath he did ensure; To Abr'am and his chosen Seed, for ever to endure; To Abr'am and his chosen Seed, for ever to endure.
