Lyric Translation:
By the Angel to the Virgin nimble in the chamber
Soothing the Maiden’s fear he said, “Hail.
Hail, Queen of Virgins, from the Lord of heaven and earth.
You shall conceive, untouched, and give birth to the salvation of men.
You shall be the gateway for the remedy to all sin.

“How can I conceive when I have not known a man?
How can I break with firm intent that which I have vowed?”
Do not be frightened, for all of this will be realized through the grace of the Holy Spirit.
Rejoice, for he will preserve your chastity
You will remain pure through the power of God.”

To this the noble Virgin replied, saying:
“I am the lowly handmaid of the Almighty God.
To you the heavenly messenger, who knows so many secrets
I consent and eagerly await that which is to come;
I am ready to obey the counsel of God.”

Arrowhead Chorale operating support is made possible in part by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Arrowhead Regional Arts Council, thanks to legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage funds; by The Depot Foundation, in support of arts and culture; and by the COVID-19 Northeast Minnesota Response Fund of the Duluth Superior Area Community Foundation.
