Verse 1:
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
Verse 2:
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 maid Gloria
Verse 3:
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
Refrain:
Gloria
