Lyrics Gabriel's Message - Sting

The angel Gabriel from Heaven came
His wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame;
"All hail", said he, "Thou holy 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 seers foretold,
Most highly favoured lady," Gloria!
Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head,
"To me be as it pleaseth God," she said,
"My soul shall laud and magnify his holy name,"
Most highly favoured lady, Gloria!
Of her Emmanuel, the Christ was born
In Bethlehem all on a Christmas morn
And everyone through out the world will ever say
Most highly favoured lady Gloria!
