It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old, from angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold: “Peace on the earth, goodwill to men, from heav’n’s all gracious King!” The world in solemn stillness lay  to hear the angels sing.

Angels we have heard on high, sweetly singing o’er the plains and the mountains in reply, echo back their joyous strains. Glo ———ria in excelsis Deo, Glo———ria in excelsis Deo
