Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Angels, from the realms of glory
Wing your flight o'er 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
Watching 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 contemplations
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
[Verse 5]
Though an infant now we view him
He shall fill his Father's throne
Gather all the nations to him
Every knee shall then bow down
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Written by: James Montgomery, [traditional]
