Prophet Isaiah
See, my servant will act wisely he will be
raised and lifted up and highly exalted. Just as
there were many who were appalled at him his
appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any
man and his form marred beyond human likeness
so will he sprinkle many nations, and kings
will shut their mouths because of him. For what
they were not told, they will see, and what they
have not heard, they will understand.Isaiah
5213-15

thee, O lowly maiden Mary,Most highly favored
lady." Gloria! "For know a blessed mother thou
shalt be,All generations laud and honor
theeThy son shall be Emmanuel, by seers
foretold,Most highly favored lady." Gloria!
Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head"To me
be as it pleaseth God," she said."My soul shall
laud and magnify Gods holy name."Most highly
favored lady." Gloria! Of her, Emmanuel, the
Christ, was bornIn Bethlehem all on a Christmas
morn,And Christian folk through-out the world
will ever say"Most highly favored lady."
Gloria!
