Christopher Keefer - Gabriel's Message Lyrics

[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 favoured lady,"

[Bridge]
Gloria~!

[Verse 2]
"For known a blessèd mother thou shalt be,
All generations laud and honor thee,
Thy Son shall be Emmanuel,
By seers foretold,
Most highly favoured lady,"

[Chorus]
Gloria~!
(Gloria~!)

[Verse 3]
Then Mary gently bowed her head,
"Unto me be as it pleases God," she said,
"My soul shall laud and magnify his holy name",
Most highly favoured lady,

[Chorus]
Gloria~!
(Gloria~!)

[Verse 4]
Of her Emmanuel,
The Christ was born,
In Bethlehem,
All on a Christmas morn,
And everyone throughout the world,
Forever saved,
Most highly favoured lady,

[Chorus]
Gloria~!

Gloria~! (Gloria~!)
Gloria~! (Gloria~!)
Gloria~! (Gloria~!)
