##(Verse 1)
 In a little
 corner of the
 world lived a
 maiden,
Pure in
 heart, good in
 deed, full of
 grace, gentle
 rose;
An a
ngelic sal
utation for the
 Word's annunc
iation
She's to
 be the chosen
 mother of
 Jesus,
 our
 Lord.

##(Verse 2)
And as she
 listened to the
 voice with her
 gaze upon the
 splendor
Love e
mbraced her open
 heart, and she co
nceived the holy
 Lord.
"B
ehold the
 handmaid, b
ehold your
 servant,
Be it
 done unto
 me a
ccording
 to Your
 word."

##(Verse 3)
 In a little
 time there would
 be a cel
ebration
Eliz
abeth would bear a
 son, they will
 call his name
 John.
He will
 go before the
 Lord as a
 faithful
 messenger
He'll pr
epare the
 way for the
 Lamb who
 is to
 come.

##(Chorus 1)
And on that
 day was put in
 motion the
 means of our r
edemption,
And a
 way was opened
 up as a
 highway
 to our
 God;
And a child was born to
 us, and to
 us a Son was
 given,
Through the
 young and blessed
 Mary came the
 greatest
 Gift of
 all.
