Question
Some Catholics defend this song’s pun, “this Child that you delivered / Will soon deliver you,” by noting that the Immaculate Conception derives from the foreseen merits of Christ. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this Christmas song that asks whether its addressee was aware that her “baby boy / Would one day walk on water?” and that he “Would save our sons and daughters?”
ANSWER: “Mary, did you know?”
[10h] The song’s question, “did you know / That your baby boy / Would one day rule the nations?” reflects the promise in this psalm that the Messiah would rule all the nations “with a rod of iron.” In this psalm, “the One enthroned in heaven laughs” at the “kings of the earth” who “band together” against his anointed.
ANSWER: Psalm 2 [or “Why do the heathen rage” or “Quare fremuerunt gentes”]
[10e] Biblically, Mary did know that Jesus would rule the nations because Gabriel made it clear that Jesus is the Messiah at this event, when he told her that she would conceive and bear a son.
ANSWER: the Annunciation
