Intro/Choral
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Gloria In Excelsis Deo
Gloria In Excelsis Deo
Verse 1
Joy has dawned upon the world
Promised from creation
God’s salvation now unfurled
Hope for ev’ry nation
Not with fanfares from above
Not with scenes of glory
But a humble gift of love
Jesus born of Mary
Verse 2
Shepherds bow before the Lamb
Gazing at the glory
Gifts of men from distant lands
Prophesy the story
Gold—a King is born today
Incense—God is with us
Myrrh—His death will make a way
And by His blood He’ll win us
Interlude
Verse 3
Son of Adam, Son of Heav’n
Givеn as a ransom
Reconciling God and man
Christ, our mighty champion!
What a Savior! What a Friend!
What a glorious myst’ry!
Once a babе in Bethlehem
Now the Lord of hist’ry
Chorus
Gloria In Excelsis Deo
Gloria In Excelsis Deo
Verse 4
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him Whose birth the angels sing
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the newborn King
Chorus
Gloria In Excelsis Deo
