Angels from the realms of glory, Wing your flight through all the earth; Ye who sang creation's story, Now proclaim Messiah's birth: Gloria… In Excelsis Deo.
Shepherds, in the fields abiding, Watching o'er your flocks by night, God with man is now residing, Yonder shines the infant Light; Gloria… In Excelsis Deo.
Sages, leave your contemplation, Brighter visions beam afar; Seek the great desire of nations, Ye have seen His natal star; Gloria… In Excelsis Deo.
