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 known 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 gentle Mary meekly bowed her head
"To me be as it pleaseth God," she said,
"My sould 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 forever saved.
Most highly favored lady,Gloria!
