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!
2 ?For known a blessèd mother thou shalt be;
All generations laud and honour thee:
Thy son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold.
Most highly favoured lady!?
Gloria!
3 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!
4 Of her Emmanuel, 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!
