| In a little corner of the world lived a maiden
|
| Pure at heart, good in deed
|
| Full of grace, gentle rose
|
| An angelic salutation, holy word, annunciation
|
| She’s to be the chosen mother of Jesus, our Lord
|
| And as she listened to the voice
|
| With her gaze upon the splendor
|
| Love embraced her open heart and
|
| She conceived the holy Lord
|
| Behold the handmaid, behold the servant
|
| Be it done unto me according to Your word
|
| And on that day was put in motion
|
| The means of our redemption
|
| And the way was opened up
|
| As a highway to our God
|
| And a child was born to us
|
| And to us a Son was given
|
| For through the young and blessed Mary
|
| Came the greatest gift of all
|
| In a little time there would be a celebration
|
| Elizabeth would bear a son
|
| They will call his name John
|
| He will go before the Lord
|
| As a faithful messenger
|
| He’ll prepare the way for the Lamb who’s to come
|
| And on that day was put in motion
|
| The means of our redemption
|
| And the way was opened up
|
| As a highway to our God
|
| And a child was born to us
|
| And to us a Son was given
|
| For through the young and blessed Mary
|
| Came the greatest gift of all
|
| Holy, holy, holy Redeemer
|
| Holy, holy is the Lord
|
| Blessed is He who comes to free us
|
| Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord
|
| And on that day was put in motion
|
| The means of our redemption
|
| And the way was opened up
|
| As a highway to our God
|
| And a child was born to us
|
| And to us a Son was given
|
| For through the young and blessed Mary
|
| Came the greatest gift of all |
