Gabriel's Message
The angel Gabriel from heaven came,
His wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame;
"All hail," said he, "thou lowly maiden Mary,
Most highly favored lady," Gloria!"
~
For know a blessed Mother thou shalt be,
All generations laud and honor 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 Christmas morn,
and Christian folk throughout the world will ever say
"Most highly favored lady," Gloria!

I love this one, too. I couldn't play the clip, though. It may have been something on my end.
I thought of you today when I heard, "Mary Did You Know" on the radio. It was a duet version- Kenny Rogers with Wynonna Judd I think.
By the way, I read your blog all the time (and many others) and I think my comments in my head and then I don't have time to write them, but sometimes do...and then I forget if I did or not...
So, I wanted to add that I loved your story about how you adopted your little girls. How beautiful. Thanks for sharing. All of you entries!
Hmmm...I wonder why. It was a short clip anyway.
Jill, thank you. I miss your blog! (I think I still have it on my sidebar!) I probably won't be posting now until after Christmas, so until then....
That is my very most favorite Christmas song.
I love this one too, as an Advent song, it's so mystical sounding.
