THE ANNUNCIATION

THE ANNUNCIATION

The purest of all virgins fair,

that ever trod the earth,

perused the ancient prophecies

of the Messiah’s birth.

An angel came to visit her,

he called her full of grace,

the humble maid was sore perplexed;

distress suffused her face.

The messenger announced to her

the heavenly Father’s Word.

Then Mary humbly said to him:

“Behold the handmaid of the Lord.”
