When Christ was born of Mary free In Bethlem in that fair city, Angels sang with mirth and glee, "In excelsis gloria!” Herdsmen beheld these angels bright- To them appearing with great light, And said “God's son is born this night”. "In excelsis gloria!” This King is come to save mankind as in the scripture as we find; therefore this song have we in mind: "In excelsis gloria!” Then, dear Lord, for Thy great grace, grant us bliss to see Thy face, hat we may sing to Thy solace: "In excelsis gloria!”
