Rejoice oh highly favoured one,
The Lord is with you
Blessed are you and blessed is
The fruit of your womb.
Gabriel came to you
And at first you were afraid
When he told you the good news
With humility God you praised.
He greeted you saying
That you were the Lord's chosen
You will give birth to Jesus
He will grant us salvation.
Rejoice oh highly favoured one
The lord is with you
Blessed are you and blessed is
The fruit of your womb.
Though you did not know a man
With God all things can be done
The holy spirit came upon you
And through grace you bore a Son.
Oh handmaiden of the Lord
You submitted to God's word
With humility you accepted
The prophecy that you heard.
Rejoice oh highly favoured one
The lord is with you
Blessed are you and blessed is
The fruit of your womb.
When you heard that Elizabeth
In her old age had conceived
You went to her to minister
By her side you did not leave.
When you came and greeted her
In her womb the child John lept
For you carried the son of God
While your virginity you kept.
Rejoice oh highly favoured one
The lord is with you
Blessed are you and blessed is
The fruit of your womb.
Blessed are you among women
For the lord Jesus you bore
By Christ's birth oh mother
Our fallen nature he restored.
How honored are you oh virgin
Filled with purity and grace
Remember us before the throne
Intercede for the human race.
Rejoice oh highly favoured one
The Lord is with you
Blessed are you and blessed is
The fruit of your womb.
