gloria
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Shepherds why this jubilee
Why your joyous strains prolong
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis DeoCome to Bethlehem and see
Christ whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord the newborn King
See Him in a manger laid
Whom the choirs of angels praise
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid
While our hearts in love we raise
ChorusHow could heaven’s heart not break
On the day, the day that you came
Salvation’s reason to celebrate
On the day, the day that you came
(repeat)
ChorusGloria, gloria, gloria
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
