Tempera on wood
Cortona, Italy
The angel is saying: the Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the highest shall overshadow thee

thanks. I figured with the thread being about bad hymns and all, it was "shush."
Possibly the subject for another thread: angels. As bad doctrinally as many religious songs are, so are the typical representation of angels. For example, if this angel is Gabriel, then why does he appear so effeminate? Nowhere in Scripture are angels depicted as having wings and nowhere are angels described as other than having the appearance of a man. Something to chew on.
