Lyrics: | |
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! "For lo, a blessed mother thou shalt be, All generations laud and honor thee, Thy Son shall be Emanuel, by seers foretold Most highly favored 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 favored lady. Gloria! Of her, Emanuel, the Christ was born In Bethlehem, all on a Christmas morn And Christian folk throughout the world will ever say: "Most highly favored lady," Gloria! |

"Gabriel's Message" or "The angel
Gabriel from heaven came" (Basque: Birjina gaztetto bat zegoen) is a
Basque Christmas folk carol about the Annunciation to the Virgin Mary by the
archangel Gabriel that she would become the mother of Jesus Christ the Son
of God. It was collected by Charles Bordes and then paraphrased into English by Sabine Baring-Gould. It is commonly performed in an arrangement by Edgar Pettman published in his 1892 book Modern Christmas Carols. |
