Gabriel visited Mary. Joseph married Mary! But who, exactly, is Mary? What made her so special? Absolutely nothing - except that God chose her to be the mother of His Son. Mary did not doubt God but believed what the angel Gabriel told her. She would give birth to the promised Messiah, the Savior the world had been waiting for.

Once in royal David's cityStood a lowly cattle shed,Where a mother laid her babyIn a manger for His bed:Mary was that mother mild,Jesus Christ her little child.He came down to earth from heaven,Who is God and Lord of all,And His shelter was a stable,And His cradle was a stall;With the poor and mean and lowlyLived on earth our Savior holy.For He is our childhood's pattern,Day by day like us He grew;He was little, weak, and helpless,Tears and smiles like us He knew;And He feels for all our sadness,And He shares in all our gladness.And our eyes at last shall see Him,Through His own redeeming love;For that child so dear and gentle,Is our Lord in heav'n above;And He leads His children onTo the place where He is gone.Verses 1, 2, 3, and 4 of Once In Royal David's City
