A new work has come on hand,
through the might and grace of God’s messenger,
to save the lost of every land.
For he is now free who was once in bondage;
we may well sing, alleluia!
By Gabriel it was begun;
just as the sun shone through the glass,
Jesus Christ was conceived
of Mary, mother, full of grace.
