The Angel Gabriel (Birjina gaztettobat zegoen) Songtext
von Maddy Prior

The Angle Gabriel from heaven came
His wings had drifted snow his eyes as flame
All hail said thy lowly maiden Mary
Most highly favoured lady Gloria


For known a blessed Mother thou shalt be
All generations laud and honour thee
Thy son shall be Emmanuel by seer fore told
Most highly favoured lady Gloria

Then gentle Mary meely bowed her head
To me be as it pleasseth God she said
My soul shall laud and magni fy his holy name
Most highly favoured lady Gloria

Of her Emmanuel the Christ was born
In Bethlehem all on a Christmas morn
And Christian foulk throughout the world world will rver say
Most highly favoured lady Gloria
