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 child was
born In Bethlehem all on a
Christmas morn
And Christian folk throughout
the world will ever say Most highly
favoured lady Gloria
