Lyrics:

Angels from the realms of glory
Wing your flight over all the earth.
You who sang creation's story
Now proclaim Messiah's birth.

Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Shepherds in the fields abiding,
Watching over your flocks by night.
God with man is now residing;
Yonder shines the infant Light.

Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Sages, leave your contemplations;
Brighter visions beam afar.
Seek the great desire of nations;
You have seen the natal star.

Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Holy, holy, holy, holy,
Holy, holy, holy, holy

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.
