Words: James Montgomery (1772-1854)
Music: French Trad. Arr. Watts

Angels from the realms of glory,
Wing your flight o'er 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 contemplations,
Brighter visions beam afar;
Seek the great desire of nations,
Ye have seen his natal star.

Gloria in Excelsis Deo

Saints before the altar bending,
Watching long in hope and fear
Suddenly the Lord descending
In his temple shall appear.

Gloria in Excelsis Deo

Though an infant, now we knew him,
He shall fill his father's throne
Gather all the nations to him
Everyone shall him bow down

Gloria in Excelsis Deo
