To a maid whose name was Mary
The angel Gabriel came
Fear not the angel told her
I come to bring good news
Good news I come to tell you
Good news I say good news
For you are highly favored
By God the Lord of all
Who even now is with you
You are on earth most blest
You are most blest most blessed
God chose you you are blest
But Mary was most troubled
To hear the angel's word
What was the angel saying
It troubled her to hear
To hear the angel's message
It troubled her to hear
Fear not for God is with you
And you shall bear a child
His name shall be called Jesus
God's offspring from on high
And He shall reign forever
Forever reign on high
How shall this be said Mary
I am not yet a wife
The angel answered quickly
The pow'r of the Most High
Will come upon you shortly
Your child will be God's child
As Mary heard the angel
She wondered at his words
Behold I am your handmaid
She said unto her God
So be it I am ready
According to Your Word
