Sung to the tune “The Solid Rockâ€
Elizabeth, barren and old
No boy or girl for her to told
Till Gabriel a message brings
Answer to prayer he brightly sings
How can this be, no one can know
Almighty God says, it is so.
Almighty God says, it is so.
Mary of God a virgin mild
Without a man is found with child
Now carries God’s own Son Most High
The angel shouts that God draws nigh
How can this be, no one can know
Almighty God says, it is so.
Almighty God says, it is so.
All humankind so full of sin
Cannot the kingdom enter in
The manger child takes up his cross
The guilt of sin forever lost
How can this be, no one can know
Almighty God says, it is so.
Almighty God says, it is so.
