The Angel Gabriel from heaven came,

his wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame;

     C                                  F G
“All hail,” said he, “thou lowly maiden Mary,

     Dm              E
most highly favoured lady.”

     Am                          Dm    E
“For known a blessèd Mother thou shalt be,

all generations laud and honour thee,

    C                         F         G
thy son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold;

Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head,

    Am                       Em    Am
“To me be as it pleaseth God,” she said,

    C                               F    G
“My soul shall laud and magnify his holy name”:

     Dm              E
most highly favoured lady.

Of her, Emmanuel, the Christ was born

   Am                       Em   Am
in Bethlehem, all on a Christmas morn,

    C                                        F    G
and Christian folk throughout the world will ever say

most highly favoured lady.
