| 1. 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 Immanuel,
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, 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!
