Gabriel's Message

The Angel Gabriel from heaven came

His wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame

All hail, said he, thou Holy Maiden Mary

Most highly favored lady

Gloria

For know a blessed mother thou shalt be

All generations laud and honor thee

Thy son shall be Emmanuel by seers foretold

Most highly favored lady

Gloria

Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head

To me, be as it pleaseth God, she said

My soul shall laud and magnify his holy name

Most highly favored lady

Gloria

Of her Emmanuel, the Christ was born

In Bethlehem all on a Christmas morn

And all ye men throughout the world will ever say

Most highly favored lady

Gloria
