Rejoice Mary
Arranged by Connie Boss
A long time ago,
O
come O come Emmanuel
When the world had grown cold
And ransom
captive Israel
An Angel foretold
That
mourns in lowly exile here
A new life to behold
Until
the son of God appear
Rejoice, Rejoice, Virgin Mary
An Angel came to speak to thee.
The angel Gabriel came down to earth
To tell Mary she would soon give birth.
He saw that she was trembling in fear
He said fear not for God has sent me here
Rejoice, Rejoice, listen to the angels word
For it shall be just as your heard
He told her he was Gods chosen one
And soon she would bear a son
Jesus is the name that you shall give
To this tiny boy so all may live
Rejoice, Rejoice, Mary blessed Virgin
For soon your journey will begin
But Mary said I do not understand
Since Ive had no relations with a man
The angel said dear Mary this is true
For God has placed His trust in you
Rejoice, Rejoice, Mary blessed Virgin
For soon you will bear a son
Yes, you were the chosen one.
