Sting & Police - Gabriel's Message lyrics

rate me

Traditional - Words by Sabine Baring Gould

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 maid," 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 favoured maid," 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 favoured maid Gloria!

Of her Emanuel, the Christ was born

In Bethlehem all on a Christmas morn

And everyone throughout the world forever saved

Most highly favoured maid Gloria!
