The "Lessons" of Lessons and Carols move from prophecy about a coming Savior, through the announcement of the gift of a Savior, to the birth of Jesus the Savior. The fifth lesson brings us to the New Testament, to Mary, and to one of my favorite hymns of all, regardless of the season of the year. I like how personal the "Magnificat" can be for people gathered in worship.
Fifth Lesson: Luke 1:26-38
Fifth Carol: The Angel Gabriel to Mary Came
Fifth Hymn: Tell Out, My Soul, the Greatness of the Lord
Fifth Lesson: Luke 1:26-38
I especially enjoy it when a female high school or college student reads this Lesson!
Fifth Carol: The Angel Gabriel to Mary Came
traditional Basque carol
Fifth Hymn: Tell Out, My Soul, the Greatness of the Lord
text: Timothy Dudley-Smith, from Mary's Song, the Magnificat
tune: Woodlands, composed by Walter Greatorex
(some readers will recognize the composer's surname as the tune name
for a setting of Gloria Patri, which tune he also wrote)
