When Christ was born of Mary free
in Bethlehem that fair city.
angels sang with mirth and glee,
In excelsis gloria!
In excelsis gloria!
In excelsis gloria!
Angels sang with mirth and glee,
in excelsis gloria!
Herdmen beheld these angels bright-
to them appeared with great light,
who said, God's son is born this night.
In excelsis gloria!
In excelsis gloria!
In excelsis gloria!
Angels sang with mirth and glee,
in excelsis gloria!
The King is come to save mankind
as in the scripture we will find;
and this song we have in mind,
In excelsis gloria!
In excelsis gloria!
In excelsis gloria!
Angels sang with mirth and glee,
in excelsis gloria!
Grant us, O Lord, for thy great grace,
in heaven in bliss to see thy face,
where we may sing to thy solace:
In excelsis gloria!
In excelsis gloria!
In excelsis gloria!
Angels sang with mirth and glee,
in excelsis gloria!
