(Traditional)
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:
