Lyrics
As shepherds kept their lonely vigil,
in the fields abiding
A multitude of heaven's host
brought long-awaited tidings:
Gloria in excelsis deo!
Peace on earth, good will to men!
Gloria in excelsis deo!
Christ is born, born in Bethlehem.
Fear ye not the angel said,
let not your hearts be troubled
But get ye up to Bethlehem
to seek a lowly stable
Gloria in excelsis deo!
Peace on earth, good will to men!
Gloria in excelsis deo!
Christ is born, born in Bethlehem.
Ye shall find the holy infant
lying in a manger
Come see and know and testify,
this child shall be our Savior

| Gloria in excelsis deo! Peace on earth, good will to men!
Gloria in excelsis deo! Christ is born, born in Bethlehem.
Tell the wond'rous news abroad 'til all the world rejoices
'Til ev'ry toungue shall sing is praise and join with angel voices
Gloria in excelsis deo! Peace on earth, good will to men!
Gloria in excelsis deo! Christ is born, born in Bethlehem.
