Messenger from GodGod had sent Gabriel into Galilee, Into Nazareth for a virgin to see; A man named Joseph she to wed, Of the family of David it is said. Now Mary was her given name, And the angel came to proclaim; God found in her a special grace, Bringing a savior to the human race. But she was vexed what she heard, From Gabriel in speaking the word; She thought what could be the goal, And what would happen to her soul. Gabriel reassured her and not to fret, Since it was the Holy Spirit to beget; A son named Jesus be given birth, He will be ruler over all the earth. Son of God from the Most High, As a means for salvation to justify; And Mary being a servant of God, Would obey as she honor and laud.
