The Angel Gabriel

Lyrics

The angel Gabriel from heaven came,
 With wings as drifted snow, with eyes as flame:
 "All hail to thee, O lowly 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 God's holy name."
 Most highly favored lady." Gloria!
 Of her, Emmanuel, the Christ, was born
 In Bethlehem all on a Christmas morn,
 And Christian folk through-out the world will ever say:
 "Most highly favored lady." Gloria!
