1. Earth this glorious day rejoices
For
this Morn; Christ was born,
Sun
by angel voices
Carols
through the midnight swelling
Waked
the earth, at the Birth
Seraphs
came out telling
In
excelsis Gloria sing
Sing
we glory, glory!
In
excelsis Gloria sing
Sing
we glory, glory!
2. Sweet glad strains of joy came ringing
Through
the night when the “Light”
Truth
from heaven came bringing:
Singing
Jesus’ wondrous story
Winged
their flight, angels bright,
From
fair realms of glory.
Chorus
– dolce In excelsis, &c.
3. Shepherds at poor Bethl’hem’s manger
Found
the Child, meek and mild,
Born
to save from danger
Magi,
at the stall adoring,
Offered
there, gifts most rare,
Mary’s
Babe not scorning
Chorus
– dolce In excelsis, &c.
4. Morning Star, with hope bright burning,
Draw
men all to the stall,
Fill
with joy hearts yearning
Safely,
Christ, Thy love outflowing,
Keep
us e’er to Thee near,
Heavenly
grace bestowing
Chorus
– dolce In excelsis, &c.
