Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Angels from the realms of glory
Wing your flight through all the earth
Ye who sang Creation's story
Now proclaim Messiah's birth
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
[Verse 2]
Shepherds in the field abiding
Watchin o'er your flocks by night
God with man is now residing
Yonder shines the Infant light
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
[Verse 3]
Sages, leave your contemplation
Brighter visions beam afar
Seek the great desire of nations
Ye have seen His natal star
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
[Verse 4]
Saints before the altar bending
Watching long in hope and fear
Suddenly, the Lord, descending
In His temple shall appear
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
