I need help to find it in the Holy Bible. I know that most of the "Hail Mary" prayer can be found in the Holy Bible but I can't remember what books or verses that it comes from. Can anyone help me?

"Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you" (Luke 1:28)
"Blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb" (Luke 1:42).
The Hail Mary prayer simply recites Bible passages (the Word of God) and asks Mary to pray for us:
Hail Mary Full of grace, the Lord is with you. (These are the words the angel Gabriel said to Mary, a Bible quote.)
Blessed are thou among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. (This is Mary's cousin Elizabeth's greeting, another bible quote.)
Holy Mary, (The angel Gabriel said she was full of grace and Elizabeth said she was blessed.)
Mother of God, (the Bible says Mary is the mother of Jesus Christ, God the Son)
Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. (A simple request to pray for us.)
Amen.

It would be in the Gospels. I'm thinking Saint Luke's, but I'm not sure.
'Hail Mary, full of Grace the Lord is with thee" comes from when the Angel came to Mary and 'Blessed art though among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb' came from when she visited Elizabeth (St. John the Baptist leaped in the womb, remember?)

Mary had a little lamb
His fleece was white as snow, etc and so on.
I don't know where the exact verse is found, however.
