By the grace of God
I have been chosen
To be the husband of a woman
The descendant of King David
The mother of the Messiah (they will say)
Mary my betrothed
A young impeccable virgin
Beautiful
Modest
Spotless
Pure
Well-versed in the traditions of her faith
Aspiring to virtue
Attentive
Caring
But bound by a vow from the depths of her loving heart
A vow I vowed not to violate
I will provide and protect her
The mother of God\'s Son (they will say)
Shield her from the disgrace of carrying a child
For she now carries a child, how could this be?
Let it be widely known
The child is mine
