Gabriel from God / Tim Pratt

FOR - SATB

The angel Gabriel
from God was sent to Galilee,
unto a virgin fair and free,
whose name was called Mary;
and when the angel to her came,
he fell down on his knee,
and looking up into her face,
he said, “All hail Mary”.

Then sing we all,
both great and small:
Nowell, nowell, nowell;
we may rejoice
to hear the voice
of the angel Gabriel.

“Mary,” he said,
“be not afraid,
I am just as you see.
The power of the Holy Ghost
will come to you thro’ me.
You are the one to bear a child,
as God says it will be:
his own dear son
from heav’n shall come
and set all people free.”

Then sing we all,
both great and small:
Nowell, nowell, nowell;
we may rejoice
to hear the voice
of the angel Gabriel.

Good people all,
both great and small,
now listen to my voice,
with one accord
let’s praise the Lord,
and in our heart rejoice:
Both girl and boy,
shout out your joy,
the message skyward fling;
Join one and all,
pass on the call,
we praise the newborn King.

Then sing we all,
both great and small:
Nowell, nowell, nowell;
we may rejoice
to hear the voice
of the angel Gabriel.
