Baby in a manger 'ere the break of day Baby in a manger sleeping on the hay Hear the angels singing, joyful at thy birth "Gloria! Gloria! Peace on earth." Baby in a manger, legions gather nigh Heaven's song re-echoes 'neath the starry sky Hear the angels singing, joyful at thy birth "Gloria! Gloria! Peace on earth." Baby in a manger, heaven's host proclaims, "This is the Messiah! Jesus is His name." Hear the angels singing, joyful at thy birth "Gloria! Gloria! Peace on earth."
