Gabriel the angel was sent from God
To give a message that would be heard abroad
To a virgin engaged to be married
And with love this message he carried

He told sweet Mary not to fear
For the message I bring is of good cheer
For you will give birth to God's Son
Through him the battle with Satan will be won

Mary asked how can this be
For no man has ever known me
The angel replied through God's decree
The Holy Ghost will fill you with his seed


Jesus is the name you will give him
And he will make the sun look dim
With fear and joy filling Mary's heart
Replied I as his handmaid will do my part

With that reply the angel did leave
For he knew that Mary did believe
That her son would one day be king
And the world's salvation would he bring
