There Came A Message From The Sky
Author: Thomas H. Kingo; Paul C. Paulsen Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.4.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There came a message from the sky:
God has the earth befriended;
His Son who dwells in Heaven high,
By angel hosts attended,
Will now your flesh and blood put on
As David’s Son;
Your wretched state is ended.
2 It first to Nazareth did come
By Gabriel expounded;
To Mary, in her humble home,
So wonderful it sounded:
“O Mary, hail, thou shalt not fear,
The Lord is near,
To thee hath grace abounded!
3 “Thou shalt a son conceive and bear,
Who is the Prince of Heaven,
Who shall to David’s throne be heir
And Jacob’s house be given;
He shall extend to every race
His reign of grace,
His kingdom, like a leaven.
4 “The Holy Spirit shall to thee
His boundless power render,
Abundant shall the mercy be
From Him, thy strong defender;
This child is therefore from above,
Whom thou shalt love
As mother kind and tender.”
5 Come, Christmas-Child, and be my guest,
Give me Thy Holy Spirit;
Prepare my heart and make it blest
Forever through Thy merit,
That I at last may dwell with Thee,
Thy kingdom see,
And all its gifts inherit. Used With Tune: ESBJERG Text Sources: Tr.: Hymnal for Church and Home (Blair, Neb.: Danish Lutheran Publishing House, 1927)
