Readings for the Solemnity: Isaiah 49: 1-6; Acts 13:22-26; Luke 1: 57-66, 80.
Hymn tune: Stuttgart (86.86)
Hear me, O you distant coastlines!
From the womb God called my name,
Making me a polished arrow
That would go to spread His fame!
Hear the voice of once-dumb father
Crying out in prophecy:
You, my child, shall be Christ's prophet,
That our people might be free!
Aged parents see in gladness
John, their son, whose birth will bring
Voice of one in desert crying:
Harken to our coming King!
On this day of glad thanksgiving,
All the faithful praise the Name
Of the Father, Son, and Spirit,
Triune God, fore'er the same!
