<!-- start of lyrics -->
Angels from the realms of glory,

Wing your flight over all the earth;

Ye who sang creation's story

Now proclaim the Messiah's birth.



Gloria...

In Excelsis Day O.



Shepherds, in the field abiding,

Watching over your flocks by night,

God with us is now residing;1

Yonder shines the infant light



Gloria...

In Excelsis Day O.



Sages, leave your contemplations,

Brighter visions beam afar;

Seek the great Desire of nations;

Ye have seen His natal star



Gloria...

In Excelsis Day O.
