The Angel Gabriel
from heaven came,
His wings as drifted snow,
His eyes as flame;
‘All hail’, said he,
‘thou lowly maiden Mary,
Most highly favoured lady,’
Gloria!
‘For known a blessèd
Mother thou shalt be,
All generations laud and honour thee,
Thy son shall be Immanuel,
by seers foretold;
Most highly favoured 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 favoured lady.’
Gloria!
Of her, Immanuel,
the Christ was born
In Bethlehem, all on
a Christmas morn,
And Christian folk throughout
the world will ever say
‘Most highly favoured lady.’
Gloria!
