Gabriel to Mary came, And entered at her dwelling, With his salutation glad, Her maiden fears dispelling 'All hail, thou queen of virgins bright! God, Lord of earth and heaven's height, Thy very Son Shall soon be born in pureness, The Saviour of mankind. Thou art the gate of heaven bright, The sinners' healer kind.' 2. 'How could I a mother be That am to man a stranger? How should I my strong resolve, My solemn vows endanger?' 'Pow'r from the Holy Ghost on high Shall bring to pass this mystery. Then have no fear: Be of good cheer, Believing That still thy chastity In God's Almighty keeping Shall all unsullied be.' 3. Then to him the maid replied, With noble mien supernatural 'Lo! the humble handmaid I Of God the Lord eternal With thee, bright messenger of heav'n, By whom this wondrous news is giv'n, I well agree And long to see Fulfilled Thy gracious prophecy. As God my Lord doth will it, So be it unto me!" 4. Hail! thou Mother of the Lord, Who bring'st of gifts the rarest, Peace to angels and to men When Christ the Lord thou barest! Do thou, we pray, entreat thy Son For us our long'd redemption Himself to win And from our sin Release us; His succor for to give That, when we hence are taken We too in heav'n may live.
