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 know a blessed Mother thou shalt be
All generations laud and honour thee
Thy Son shall be Emmanuel, 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, 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!
