Gabriel!

O, Gabriel!  Gabriel!  Heavenly voice,
regale us once more with the story:
revealing to Mary that she was God's choice;
that she would be blessed for His glory.

How different — this visit — than one months before
​when you faced the priest, Zachariah.
His disbelief made him not speak anymore,
while Mary's faith bore the Messiah.

Interpreting visions that Daniel had seen;
​did you close the jaws of the lion?
From Eden to now and the eons between,
you've served at the pleasure of Zion.
