- 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, 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 favoured lady. Gloria, Gloria!
- Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her haid,
- "To me be as it pleaseth God," she said.
- "My soul shall laud and magnify His holy Name,"
- Most highly favoured lady. Gloria, Gloria!
- Of her Emmanuel, the child was born.
- In Bethlehem, all on a Christmas morn,
- And Christian folk thro'out the world will ever say,
- Most highly favoured lady. GLoria!
