Original text and translations

English text

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," Gloria, Gloria!

2.

For known a blessed mother thou shalt be,

all generations laud and honour thee,

Thy Son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold.

Most highly favoured lady. Gloria, Gloria!

3.

Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her haid,

"To me be as it pleaseth God," she said.

"My soul shall laud and magnify His holy Name,"

Most highly favoured lady. Gloria, Gloria!

4.

Of her Emmanuel, the child was born.

In Bethlehem, all on a Christmas morn,

And Christian folk thro'out the world will ever say,

Most highly favoured lady. Gloria!
