Here's a hymn on Mary/the Annunciation which may be useful to somebody.
Tune: "Love Unknown".
Marnie Barrell
Hail Mary, full of grace!
All generations, bless
our highly-favoured sister and her holiness.
Rejoice with her,
who first received
the Word made human, and believed.
Heaven and earth stand still
while Mary, wrapped in thought,
accepts the news of joy and dread the angel brought:
to bear the Christ
and hold him dear
in costly love, in pain and fear.
Courage and strength were hers
when, virgin and alone,
she freely chose the will of God and made it her own.
She laughed and sang
a woman's song:
God lifts the weak, puts down the strong.
Now may we seek the path
which Mary's feet once trod,
sufficient in herself to bear the fullness of God.
For Christ will come
where faith and love
receive him still, and make him room.
