Have you heard the sound of the angel voices
Ringing out sweetly, ringing out so clear?
Have you seen the star shining out so brightly
As a sign from God that Christ the Lord is here?
Have you heard the news that they bring from heaven
To the humble shepherds who have waited long?
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Hear the angels sing their joyful song
He is come in peace in the winter's stillness
Like a gentle snowfall in the gentle night
He is come in joy like the sun at morning
Filling all the world with radiance and with light
He is come in love as the child of Mary
In a simple stable we have seen his birth
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Hear the angels singing "Peace on Earth!"
He will bring new light to a world in darkness
Like a bright star shining in the skies above
He will bring new hope to the waiting nations
When He comes to reign in purity and love
Let the earth rejoice at the Savior's coming
Let the heavens answer with the joyful morn
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Hear the angels singing "Christ is born!"
Hear the angels singing "Christ is born!"
