“From this time on all generations will count me blessed.” | Luke 1:48
Basque Carol, tr. Sabine Baring-Gould
Arr. Jody Killingsworth and Philip Moyer
The angel Gabriel from heaven came,
His wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame;
“All hail,” said he, “thou lowly maiden Mary,
Most highly favored lady,” Gloria!
“For know, a blessed mother thou shalt be,
All generations laud and honor thee.
Thy Son shall be Emanuel, by seers foretold,
Most highly favored lady,” Gloria!
The 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 favored lady, Gloria!
Of her, Emanuel, the Christ was born
In Bethlehem, all on a Christmas morn,
And everyone throughout the world will ever say:
“Most highly favored lady,” Gloria!
The angel Gabriel from heaven came,
His wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame;
“All hail,” said he, “thou lowly maiden Mary,
Most highly favored lady,” Gloria!
