Christ Is Born

1. Christ the King is born,
On an early morn,
Radiant glows the dark night,
Skies aflame with bright light,
All the angels are rejoicing,
Heavenly music, they are voicing,
Gloria, gloria, gloria, in excelsis Deo!

2. Angel told the shepherds,
Keeping watch o'er their herds,
"Follow ye the bright star,
Bethlehem is not far,
For the Savior there is born
To the world this early morn,"
Gloria, gloria, gloria, in excelsis Deo!
