Lift your heart and raise your voice, faithful people, come, rejoice: grace and power are shown on earth in the savior's holy birth. Gloria! Mortals, hear what angels say; shepherds, quickly make your way, finding truth in lowly guise, wisdom to confound the wise. Gloria! Here he lies, the Lord of all; nature's king in cattle-stall, God of heaven to earth come down - cross for throne and thorn for crown. Gloria! Lift your hearts and voices high: then shall glory fill the sky - Christ shall come and not be long, earth shall sing the angels' song: 'Gloria!'
