Gabriels Message

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 favourd 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 favourd 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 favourd 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 favourd lady, Gloria! Gloria! Gloria!
