What Maid is this, so gentle and mild,
Upon whom God is constantly smiling?
And to whom is sent, a questioning announcement,
To see if she would be willing.
This, this is the blessed woman
From whom God would take the nature of man.
Hail, hail maid full of grace,
Your answer will determine mankind’s fate.
The angel Gabriel surprises thee
With the proclamation of God’s favor,
And presents thee with an important decision
That will raise you above angels and men forever.
This, this is the blessed woman
From whom God would take the nature of man.
Hail, hail maid full of grace,
Your answer will determine mankind’s fate.
Once knowing the message is from God
And knowing the prophecies, every word,
She quickly gives her answer
Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
This, this is the blessed woman
From whom God would take the nature of man.
Hail, hail maid full of grace,
Your answer will determine mankind’s fate.
Upon getting the answer, the Spirit acts
And claims her as His own for eternity,
And plants in her the Sacred Seed,
The Second Person in the Holy Trinity.
This, this is the blessed woman
From whom God would take the nature of man.
Hail, hail maid full of grace,
Your answer will determine mankind’s fate.
Oh blessed one, Mother of God,
How come you to see me,
The swords shall pierce your blessed heart
At the ultimate Sacrifice you will see.
This, this is the blessed woman,
From whom God would take the nature of man.
Hail, hail maid full of grace,
Your answer will determine mankind’s fate.
This, this is the Virginal Queen,
Sitting on the right of her Son, the King.
Hail, hail Maid full of grace,
Your fiat gave us hope and salvation.
