The Angel Gabriel from heaven came
His wings as drifted snow his eyes as flame
All hail said he thou Holy Maiden Mary
Most highly favoured lady Gloria
For know a blessed mother thou shalt be
All generations laud and honor thee
Thy son shall be Emmanuel as seers foretold
Most highly favoured lady Gloria
The 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 everyone through out the world will ever say
Most highly favoured lady Gloria
