So spake the Archangel to Mary the Maiden, What time in prayer adown she knelt. 2. "Thou shalt conceive and bear in due season: Thy Babe man and Angel shall bless with good reason, And hail thee Mother of thy God." 3. "Good my lord Angel, O for a token! How may the thing happen whereof thou hast spoken? Because that I know not a man." 4. "Power from on high shall o'ershadow thee, Mary; Like dew breathing life on the flower of the prairie, So shalt thou bear the heav'nly Child." 5. "After thy word, so be it," quoth Mary; "The purpose eternal of God cannot vary; Behold the handmaid of the Lord." 6. Glory and honour, worship, and giving Of thanks be to God, the most High, ever-living, That shew'd mankind such ample grace. Browse Carols: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z #
