Lyrics

What sound upon the midnight air o'er Bethlehem is ringing?
The echo of an anthem fair
In answer to an ageless prayer
The angels joyful tidings bear
And cannot cease from singing:
Gloria in excelsis Deo
And on the earth be peace, good will toward men

What light hath rent the midnight sky, from realms celestial springing?
O'er Judah mighty legions fly
Ablaze in glory from on high
Creation trembles at their cry
And cannot cease from singing:
Gloria in excelsis Deo
And on the earth be peace, good will toward men

Sing gloria, ye men and angels mingling
Abide in peace
Good will increase
And never cease from singing
Gloria in excelsis Deo
