"For know a blessed Mother thou shalt be, all generations laud and ho nor thee, thy Son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold, most highly favored lady," Gloria!

Then 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, Emmanuel, the Christ was born in Bethlehem, all on a Christ mas morn, and Christian folk throughout the world will ever say most highly favored lady," Gloria!
