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 favored lady, Gloria, Gloria
For known a blessed mother thou shalt be
All generations laud and honor thee
Thy Son shall be Emanuel
By seers foretold
Most highly favored maid, Gloria, 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, Gloria
