Al Jarreau - Gloria In Excelsis lyrics

rate me

O blessed town

Of Bethlehem

Within thy gray

Green shade

Ringed round

With

Terraced vineyard

And depth

Of olive glade

There on thy high

Green pastures

The shepherds

Watch their sheep

The low large moon

Shines glim'ring

O'er all

The upland steep

What music

Of the heavens

What magic song

Of bliss

What vision

Of the night-tide

What mystic light

Is this?

The silly sheep

Are blinded

The shepherds

In amaze

Stand awe-struck

All the hillside

With glory

Is abaze

The angels'

Joyous

Chorus:

Rings out

Into the night

O Gloria

In excelsis

Sing praises

In the height

Sing praises

Men of Bethlehem

Sing praises

Here below

For peace

On Earth

And goodwill

He doth

On your bestow

For on this day

Is born there

Within

Your little town

A Child

Who Christ

The Lord is

Yet wears

No earthly crown

He bringeth joy

And gladness

To you

And all mankind

Yea

Peace on earth

And good-will

To men

Of equal mind

O blessed town

Of Bethlehem

How happy

Is thy state

How blest

Above all palaces

The stable

At thy gate

For there

In manger-cradle

(Oh

true the angel word)

As King enthroned

Of all the worlds

Reigns Jesus Christ

The Lord <br />

<br />
