In Excelsis Gloria lyrics

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
