When Christ was born of Mary free,
In Bethlehem that fair city,
Angels sang there with mirth and glee;
"In excelsis Gloria."

(Refrain)
In excelsis Gloria,
In excelsis Gloria.

The King is come to save mankind,
As in the scripture truths we find,
Therefore this song we have in mind,
"In excelsis Gloria."

Then, dearest Lord, for Thy great grace,
Grant us in bliss to see Thy face,
That we may sing to Thy solace,
"In excelsis Gloria."
