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 favored lady,
gloria
For know a blessed
mother thou shalt be
All generations laud
and honor thee
Thy Son shall be Emanuel,
by seers foretold
Most highly favored lady,
gloria"
Then gently 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, Emanuel,
the Christ was born
In Bethlehem all on
a Christmas morn
And everyone throughout the world f
orever said
"Most highly favored lady,
gloria"
