Title:"Gabriels Message" |
|
Artist:Hayley Westenra |
|
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 favour'd lady, Gloria! |
|
'For known a blessed Mother thou shalt be, |
|
All generations laud and honour thee, |
|
Thy son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold, |
|
Most highly favour'd 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 favour'd lady, Gloria! |
|
Of her, Emmanuel the Christ, was born, |
|
In Bethlehem, all on a Christmas morn, |
|
And everyone throughout the world will ever say: |
|
Most highly favour'd lady, Gloria! Gloria! Gloria! |
