ANGEL
Hail, Mary, full of grace! Our Lord God is with thee; He has chosen thee for his, Blessed might thou be.
MARY
Almighty God, save me now,
I am distressed, and know not how.
ANGEL
Maiden, do not be afraid of this;
From heaven above I have been sent To bring tidings from the King of bliss To thee, sweet lady most reverend.
Of all women thou art honoured most: Thou shalt conceive and bear a child Through the blessings of the Holy Ghost; He shall be Jesus, the holy and mild.
MARY
I marvel sore how that may be, Man’s company is not known to me.
ANGEL
He shall be God and called God’s son, And with his Father will be one.
MARY
If this be true what you have voiced My soul and spirit should rejoice That I, the simplest girl on earth, Am chosen for this Holy birth.
