Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria
The angel Gabriel from heaven, came
His wings as drifts of snow, his eyes as flame
Oh Hail said he, the lowly maiden Mary
Most highly favoured lady
Gloria
Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria
For known a blessed mother thou shall be
For generations Lord and honour thee
Thy son shall be Emmanuel as is foretold
Most highly favoured lady
Gloria
Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head
To me be as it pleaseth Lord, she said
My soul shall Lord and magnify his holy name
Most highly favoured lady
Gloria
Of her Emmanuel the Christ was born
In Bethlehem on a Christmas 'morn
And Christian folk throughout the world will ever say
Most highly favoured lady
Gloria, Gloria
Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria
Gloria, Gloria
