The sun did rise on Christmas day,
And unto him the moon did say
There is Good News I must convey –
Gloria in excelsis deo,
A blue clad maiden mickle mild
Has brought forth this night a a little child
He shall be worshiped and reviled
Gloria in excelsis deo,
Laudamus te. Benedicimus te.
Adoramus Jesu Christe
At the moment of His birth
A dazzling star flamed o’re the earth
Trumpets and angels sang His worth
Gloria in excelsis deo,
A multitude then filled the sky,
Bid shepherds to the new King fly
In fear and joy they did comply
Gloria in excelsis deo,
Laudamus te. Benedicimus te.
Adoramus Jesu Christe
In softest straw the babe was laid
As shepherds and kings their homage paid
And sheep and oxen softly brayed
Gloria in excelsis deo,
All gathered round this little stall
To greet the King so very small
Born here as savior to us all
Gloria in excelsis deo,
Laudamus te. Benedicimus te.
Adoramus Jesu Christe
Anew now does our world begin
For God as Man has entered in
To save each one from death and sin
Gloria in excelsis deo,
Sing out with praise Emmanuel (Gloria)
Play the loud harp and ring the bell (Gloria)
For God has come with us to dwell (Gloria)
Gloria in excelsis deo, (Gloria)
Laudamus te. Benedicimus te.
Adoramus Jesu Christe (Gloria)
