"The Angel Gabriel" lyrics
Jill Barber, Rose Cousins & Meaghan Smith Lyrics
The angel Gabriel from heaven came
With wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame
"All hail," said he, "O lowly maiden Mary!
Most highly favored lady, Gloria!"
"For known a blessed mother thou shalt be
All generations laud and honor thee
Thy son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold
Most highly favored 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 favored lady, Gloria!"
Of her, Emmanuel, the babe was born
In Bethlehem, all on a Christmas morn
And everyone throughout the world will ever say
Most highly favored lady, Gloria!
Gloria!
With wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame
"All hail," said he, "O lowly maiden Mary!
Most highly favored lady, Gloria!"
"For known a blessed mother thou shalt be
All generations laud and honor thee
Thy son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold
Most highly favored 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 favored lady, Gloria!"
Of her, Emmanuel, the babe was born
In Bethlehem, all on a Christmas morn
And everyone throughout the world will ever say
Most highly favored lady, Gloria!
Gloria!
