The angel Gabriel was sent to Mary
"Hail, thou that art highly favored," said he
"The Lord is with you, do not be afraid,..."
God now will fulfill the promise he made
The Savior, long foretold by prophets of old
Would come to earth, the story the angel told
Though a virgin engaged to marry Joseph
Mary would become the mother of Jesus
Mary asked Gabriel how could this happen
She had never even laid with a man
Though it was strange she readily agreed
Should we be called, may we follow her lead
"Be it unto me, according to thy word"
She embraced the call to be used of God
Becoming the vessel for the Savior's birth
A miracle that would change the universe
"Be it unto me," let us take it to heart
To advance God's kingdom, all doing our part
