Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

Praise we the Lord this day 
Praise we the Lord this day, this day so long foretold, whose promise shone with cheering ray on waiting saints of old. 
The prophet gave the sign for faithful men to read: a virgin born of David's line shall bear the promised seed. 
Ask not how this should be, but worship and adore, like her whom heaven's Majesty came down to shadow o'er. 
Meekly she bowed her head to hear the gracious word, Mary, the pure and lowly maid, the favored of the Lord. 
Blessed shall be her name in all the Church on earth, through whom that wondrous mercy came, the incarnate Savior's birth. 
Jesus, the Virgin's Son, we praise thee and adore, who art with God the Father one and Spirit evermore.
