Who for her grace, right meekly, Received her blessed name. 1. (M) To save this race of mortals, The prophets old did say, That Christ would leave heav'n's portals, As Man with men to stay; (W) And Mary, purest maiden, By God's most sure decree Was with this duty laden, His Mother here to be. 2. (M) Now tell us, blessed Mary, What messenger did bring To thee the news so wondrous, Of Christ our Heavenly King. (W) 'Twas Gabriel, the white-robbed, Who brought this news to men, That Christ, the God incarnate, An infant mild would be. 3. (M) And what said he, O Mary, This angel when he spake, When he foretold that Jesus On earth our form should take? (W) He said, "The Lord be with thee, For full of grace thou art, And thou art highly favoured, Thou meek and pure of heart." 4. (M) Now tell us, blessed Mary Say where didst thou above When Gabriel did promise This first great Christmas-tide. (W) In Galilee I rested, In holy love and fear, And in my meditation The Angel did appear. 5. (M) Did shepherds from the mountains In humble garb and meek, With joyous exultation The Holy Infant seek? (M) They sought the humble manger, And soon as they did see The new-born Prince of Glory, They sank on bended knee. 6. (All) We humbly trust, O Mary, That God will give us grace To love this Holy Infant And ever seek His face; So at the last great Advent, When He as Judge shall stand, We may amongst the blessed, Be placed on His right hand.
