Author: Sabine Baring-Gould, 1834-1924 Meter: 10.10.12.10 Appears in 36 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 7:14 Lyrics: 1 The angel Gabriel from heaven came,
His wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame;
"All hail," said he, "O lowly maiden Mary,"
"Most highly favored lady!" Gloria!
2 "For know a blessed Mother you shall be,
All generations praise continually,
Your son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold."
"Most highly favored lady!" Gloria!
3 Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head;
"To me be as it pleases God!" she said.
"My soul shall laud and magnify his holy name."
"Most highly favored lady!" Gloria!
4 Of her, Emmanuel, 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! Topics: Mary; The Liturgical Year Advent (Sundasy and Weekdays); The Liturgical Year The Annunciation of the Lord (March 25) Used With Tune: GABRIEL'S MESSAGE Text Sources: Basque carol

The long desired of all the earth.

Whom with the Father we adore
And Spirit blest for evermore.

Until the Son of God appear.

Who orders all things mightily;
To us the path of knowledge show,
And teach us in her ways to go.

And give them vict'ry o'er the grave.

And open wide our heav'nly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery.

and cheer us by your drawing nigh,
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
And death's dark shadow put to flight.

In one the hearts of humankind;
O bid our sad divisions cease,
And be for us our King of Peace.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
