Mary was the first one to carry the gospel
When the angels brought the news of that precious little boy
Mary was the first one to carry the gospel
And that news brought joy, sweet joy
The shepherds watched their flocks by night
And nearly fell asleep
Another lonely quiet night
A-watchin' all those sheep
Until a choir of holy angels filled the night with songs of joy
Good news I bring, for Christ the King
Is Mary's baby boy
Mary was the first one to carry the gospel
When the angels brought the news of that precious little boy
Mary was the first one to carry the gospel
And that news brought joy, sweet joy
Hosanna to the highest
And to Christ, His only Son
God's glory wrapped in swaddling clothes
The meek and lowly one
This baby boy would change the hearts
Of all who can believe
'Cause what the prophets told has come to pass
A virgin has conceived
Mary was the first one to carry the gospel
When the angels brought the news of that precious little boy
Mary was the first one to carry the gospel
And that news brought joy, sweet joy
Oh, Mary was the first one to carry the gospel
When the angels brought the news of that precious little boy
Mary was the first one to carry the gospel
And that news brought joy, sweet joy
And that news brought so much joy
Yes, that news brought joy, sweet joy
