Here's a broadside carol that's been around since 1639. It's a lot more like the Biblical account than The Cherry Tree Carol.

The Angel Gabriell, his Salutation to the blessed Virgin Mary

To the tune of, The Blazing Torch.

When righteous Jospeh wedded was
to Israels Hebrew maid,
A glorious Angel came from Heaven,
who to the Virgin said:
Hail blessed Mary full of grace,
the Lord remains in thee;
Thou shalt conceive and breed a Son
thy Saviour to be.

That's wonderous strange quoth Mary then
I should conceive and breed,
Being never toucht by mortal man,
but pure in thought and deed.
Fear not, quothe Gabriel by and by,
it is no work of man:
But only God's, ordain'd at first
before the world began.

Which heavenly message she believes,
and did to Jury go,
Three months with her friends to stay,
Gods blessed will to show:
And then return'd with Joseph back,
her Husband meek and mild,
Who thought it strange his wife should be
untoucht, thus grown with child.

Wherefore (thought he) to shun that shame
he thought her to forsake:
But that Gods Angel in his sleep
Gods mind did undertake.
Fear not just Joseph this thy wife
is still a spotless Maid,
And no consent to sin (quoth he)
against her can be laid.

For she is purely Maid and Wife,
the mother of Gods own Heir,
The Babe of Heaven, and blessed Lamb,
of Israels stock so fair:
To save lost sheep to Satan sold,
whom Adam lost by fraud,
When first in Edens Paradise
the Lord had them bestow'd.

Thus Mary with her Husband kind,
together did remain,
Until the time of Iesus birth
as Scripture doth make plain.
Thus Mother, Wife, and Virgin pure,
our Saviour sweet conceiv'd,
All three in one to bring us joy,
of which we were brerev'd.

Sing praises then both old and young,
to him which wrought such things,
That thus without the help of man
sent us the King of Kings:
Which is of such a blessed power,
that with his word can quell
The World, the Flesh, and by his Death
could conquer death and hell.

There are traditional texts and tunes in Journal of the Folk Song Society, 1905. See also the Traditional Ballad Index on the internet. There is no absolute proof that the tune "The blazing torch (is soon burnt out)" is the same as "I'll never love the more", but there is some strong circumstantial evidence for the identification (The blazing torch may well have been the original title of the tune). Both songs appeared about 1624. In 18th century Scotland the tune was that called Chevy Chase. The tune is still a very nice one, which I have heard at Colonial Williamsburg.
