Hymnal: Laudis Corona #30b (1880) Refrain First Line: In excelsis gloria Lyrics: 1 When Christ was born of Mary free,
In Bethlehem, that fair citie,
Angels sang there with mirth and glee:
"In excelsis gloria.
Chorus:
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 to-night:
"In excelsis gloria. [Chorus]
3 The King is come to save mankind,
As in Scripture-truths we find,
Therefore this song we have in mind:
In excelsis gloria, etc. [Chorus]
4 Then, dear Lord, for Thy great grace,
Grant us in bliss to see Thy face,
That we may sing, to Thy solace,
In excelsis gloria, etc. [Chorus]
