Tune: Branle de L'officiel
('Ding, dong, merrily on high!')
Luke 1 v.26-33
********
Angel Gabriel was sent
From God, to Nazareth went
Message to virgin Mary
She would bear the Christ-child, see
Chorus
Glory! The light of the world is here
Glory! Worship Him with lowly fear
Hail, highly favoured one she
Was, and the message it be
That she should conceive a son
All by the Spirit's work done - Chorus
He be born of David's line
Blessed you among women fine
Not to fear for she had found
Favour with God, praise resound - Chorus
Her son to be named JESUS
He would take our sins from us
He the Son of the Highest
Comes to earth, heavenly guest - Chorus
The Lord God shall give Him sure
The throne of David e'ermore
He shall reign, endless kingdom
Of the like there shall be none - Chorus

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 7.7.7.7. metre, 'extended' in the Chorus. Title, sort of means 'official dance' - a branle (I googled that!).
