TIDINGS OF JOY - SATB
38
NARRATION:
In the fullness of time, the great Christmas miracle began its journey of joy
to the world. Hear this astounding account from the gospel of Luke:
God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin
pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The
virgin's name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you
who are highly favored! The Lord is with you."
Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting
this might be. But the ange
l
said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary; you have
found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a Son, and you
are to call Him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the
Most High. The Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David, and
He will reign over Jacob's descendants forever; His kingdom will never
end."
"I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May your word be
fulfilled in
me."
