Text:
Gabriel singing:
Mary, thou art favored, highly sought and blessed.
Mary, I am Gabriel. Fear not; be at rest.
Thy Lord will be with thee to bring forth a son.
He’ll be known as Jesus; He’s God holy One.

Mary singing:
O, how shall this happen? I know not a man.
Lo, I am as yet espoused; he will take my hand.
For his name is Joseph of a royal line.
O, how shall this happen? When will be the time?

Gabriel singing:
Hail, thou art so favored, favored in God’s sight.
Mary, be not troubled now, for He’ll send new light.
This Son shall be greatest of God’s children, all.
He will rescue kingdoms, for this is His call.

Mary singing:
Behold, I am Mary, handmaid of the Lord,
And it will be unto me, keeping with thy (His) word.
I will bear pure Jesus as (through) God’s holy will.
I’ll receive His comfort; now I will be still.

Gabriel and Mary sing together:
I will visit Joseph and he will be blessed.
He shall be the guardian—true faith manifest.
His fear will diminish; perfect peace will come.
He will cherish Jesus, highly favored One.
Favored of our Father . . . his all-loving Son.
