1 When Christ was born of Mary free,
In Bethlehem that fair city,
Angels sang there with mirth and glee,

Refrain:
In excelsis gloria,
In excelsis gloria,
In excelsis gloria,
In excelsis gloria,
In excelsis gloria.

2 Herdsmen beheld these angels bright,
To them appearing with great light,
Who said God’s Son is born tonight, [Refrain]

3 The King is come to save mankind,
As in Scripture truths we find,
Therefore this song we have in mind, [Refrain]

4 Then, dear Lord, for Thy great grace
Grant us in bliss to see Thy face,
That we may sing to Thy solace, [Refrain]
