In Excelsis Gloria Lyrics

In Excelsis Gloria
When Christ was born of Mary free,
In Bethlehem in that fair city,
Angels sung e'er with mirth and glee,
[Chorus:]
In excelsis gloria,
In excelsis gloria,
In excelsis gloria,
In excelsis gloria.
Herdmen beheld these angels bright-
To them appeared with great light,
And said, "God's son is born this night."
[Chorus:]
This King is come to save His kind,
In the Scripture as we find
